Jess has a passion for animals and always dreamed of a career in the Animal Care sector. Through Box Hill Institute&rsquo;s Animal Care faculty, she was able to make her dream a reality.
&ldquo;I was all set to do Vet Nursing but then I discovered Pet Grooming,&rdquo; Jess said. &ldquo;Pet Grooming is so much more than making the animals look pretty. We go through a lot of checks on the animal&rsquo;s health and well-being, and report back to the owners on anything we find that is out of the ordinary. There is a real focus on the general welfare of the animals, which I love.&rdquo;
After graduating, Jess got a job helping out with her teacher&rsquo;s grooming business, but it wasn&rsquo;t long before she decided to start her own practice.

&ldquo;I saved up enough money, bought all of the equipment I needed, and set up a grooming studio at the back of the house,&rdquo; Jess said.
Since opening, the business has flourished, with Jess sometimes having customer waiting lists as long as a week.
&ldquo;I build relationships with the animals as well as their owners,&rdquo; Jess said. &ldquo;They trust me, and I really enjoy seeing people bringing their pets back to me to take care of them. It's hard work, but it&rsquo;s good to be my own boss and I just love working with animals.&rdquo;
Like Jess, many people are drawn to <a href="https://www.boxhill.edu.au/study-areas/animal-studies-become/">animal care</a> because of their love and passion for animals, the sense of purpose it provides, the range of roles available, and the positive impact on society.
With a growing demand for animal care professionals, Box Hill Institute offers a range of courses and fantastic industry placements. This helps prepare our students for a future in everything from Veterinary Nursing to Dog Grooming, with the potential to work in various roles in animal shelters, aquariums, kennels, and more.
Additionally, our professional on-campus vet clinic and training workplace, <a href="https://www.boxhill.edu.au/facilities/pets-on-elgar/">Pets on Elgar</a>, allows students the opportunity to interact with other animal lovers and industry professionals.
