Never leave a pet alone on a table or in a tub; what practice is recommended?

• A. A good idea is to always keep at least one hand on the pet at all times
• B. You should leave the pet unattended if you’re busy
• C. Let the pet jump around freely
• D. Groom in a moving vehicle

Answer: (A)

On elevated grooming surfaces or in a tub, staying in contact with the pet is essential for safety. Keeping at least one hand on the animal at all times gives you immediate control to prevent slips, tumbles, or sudden jumps, and it helps the pet feel secure during handling. Pair this with proper safety tools like a non-slip mat and a secure restraint, but never leave the pet unattended. Leaving a pet alone can lead to a fall or injury, allowing them to move freely increases risk, and grooming in a moving vehicle is unsafe.
