Hello! I'm Carol, a professional dog groomer and the owner of Groovy Groomers

 Many years ago I started my career as a hairdresser. Whilst I enjoyed this I have always had a passion for and wanted to work with animals. I decided to follow my heart and swap from grooming people to grooming dogs. Whilst some of my hairdressing skills are transferrable, dogs are a whole different ball game (people tend not to move around or lick or bite you quite as much!) so I undertook extensive retraining and I gained my professional qualification Certificate III in Companion Animal Services and Professional Dog Grooming Certificate. I have also completed introduction to Canine Myofunctional Therapy (Dog Massage), and a certificate in Dog First Aid

I work from a purpose built salon at home in Werribee (previously in Williams Landing). I have fitted out the salon to a very high standard and furnished it with the best equipment available and included heating and cooling for the dogs' comfort. I use only the highest quality products, shampoos and conditioners to cater for all skin and fur types, and all small to medium dog sizes. If there is a particular shampoo that you prefer I use for your little angel, feel free to bring your own. I hand wash and hand dry each dog straight from the bath - I do not cage dry

I work one on one with your dog, using positive support methods and gentle grooming techniques to provide a quiet and stress free environment for your pet. Constant supervision and a focus on your dog's welfare are always guaranteed. The dog's welfare is of utmost importance in my view - my job is all about the dog. I dislike the factory-line grooming that some of the pet superstores operate by, I prefer to take my time and go at a pace the dog is comfortable with, never rushing. I treat all dogs like they were my own - with tender loving care

Groovy Groomers is open by appointment only Wednesday to Sunday 9am to 5pm - bookings are essential - call 0403 107 058 to make one. I run my appointments by time so your dog is only in the salon as long as it takes me to to groom them. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies soon
