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
