Jay holds a qualifying certificate in animal care and handling techniques from the New York Department of Health the # is 97 ACHT313

Jay Andors, a certified Master Groomer with over 20 years of experience, graduated from the original New York School of Dog Grooming. He studied with Mr. Sam Cole the author of The All-Breed Dog Grooming Guide which is considered “the bible” of the art and used for reference by all dog groomers. (Upon graduation Mr. Cole asked Jay to teach at the school.) Jay however had different goal.

Born into a family of animal lovers (his father was a graduate of the Cornell School of Agriculture and his cousins raise horses), Jay wanted to set up a grooming shop of his own. With this in mind he worked in grooming shops all over town in order to become experienced on all breeds. While training in the shops Jay observed the best and the worst of how other groomers worked and how their shops were run.

Jay was also personally trained by the inventor of HYDROSURGE, Dr. Robert Loeb, in the various techniques using the HydroSurge sytem which uses a completely unique combination of coat shampooing and care products and special water pumps and spray nozzles in the tubs that penetrate the coats down to the skin with an invigorating, massage-like actions. It then recirculates the various aloe, vitamins, and all natural ingredients in the bathing solution with great results:

• debriding (which is the removal of the animal’s dead skin enabling tissue to regrow)
• glowing clean bathing
• wound care for Hot spots
• dandruff reduction
• dermatitis exfoliation
• seborrhea relief
• eczema scale removal

This bathing - especially on a regular basis - eliminates many of these conditions that often lead to more common and serious systemic problems such as hot spots, staff infections, incessent itching and odor. Part of the joy of having an animal is the ability to happily cuddle with it, returning its affection. Make a healthier life for both you and your pet - and kids, friends and visitors is worth it every day!

You are never too young to learn how to care for a dog. Here Jay is showing three-year-old Calli Lipping how to inspect and bathe her dog.

Dr. Robert Loeb raises keeshonds and invented HydroSurge and his bathing system to help take care of his own dog- Keesha who had skin problems. Jay’s beloved dog Apollo also suffered from serious skin problems from the time he was a puppy. These skin problems were controlled by Dr. Loeb’s bathing method and Apollo lived to be a healthy 13 years old.

Combining all of his grooming skills and experiences, his love of animals, his insights into skin problems and his ability to teach; Jay opened his unique shop HydroSurge Animal Bathing Center in 1996.

At HydroSurge, haircutting is done by Jay (call or email for an appointment). Grooming is also done by Jay, and owners are always welcome to stay. If they would like, the individual pet owner can share in Jay’s years of experience and his knowledge of grooming and skin care for dogs & cats and learn to bath their dog or cat themselves in a fully equipped environment. Jay’s shop places the emphasis on the bath, the conditioning and the blow drying. Jay teaches the individual pet owner how to bathe, brush, currycomb or shed out those breeds that need special attention. Pet owners tend to be more thorough and kinder than the average paid bather and at HydroSurge can learn to bathe their pet just as well or better than any bather or fluffer in the finest grooming shops - and do it for about half the price!
If you want to learn how to give a full haircut, clipping lessons are also available.
