⭐ Arlo · full groom, sedative free

My way

I will never tell you I'm the cheapest or fastest groomer, because I'm neither of those things. What I am is passionate about your dog's mental and physical health.

Juanita, owner and groomer

Arlo used to be sedated at the vet for every groom. His first groom with me was a full groom, sedative free. We were patient with each other, I set safe, calm boundaries, and there was a lot of praise. I will send your dog home unfinished and ask you to come back if I think it's in your dog's best interests, to build a strong relationship based on trust.
