Morphology
The meaning 'a fashionable style or practice in pet grooming' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'groom' (to clean or brush an animal/person) with 'trend' (a prevailing fashion). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase grooming trend comes from pet salons and dog shows where a new way of cutting or styling an animal's coat becomes popular. Because many owners copy the look, grooming meaning care and styling and trend meaning a popular style together now mean 'a fashionable style' in pet grooming.
