Sneaky peak - so while everyone is getting ready for Christmas 🎄 I'm still busy working looking after dogs, giving make overs, trimming nails and then when that is done, there's still the paperwork to do when I get back.

I'm sure your Christmas prep is better than mine let me know if you'd like to swap.....?

A throwback to last year and our sales table packed with festive handmade treasures. Each one was made with as much care as we put into our grooming sessions.

Christmas is a time for traditions. Do you have a favourite holiday tradition with your furry friend?

Wish 1 - Every dog enjoys a stress free grooming experience

🎄🐾 Christmas Tip for Pet Parents:

After your pup rocks their festive jumper or cute harness this season, remember to brush them out! Keeping their fur tangle-free ensures they stay comfy while spreading holiday cheer. Happy grooming! ✨🎅

Would love to see some of the cute outfits you have for your pets. Share in the comments.

A little added sparkle ✨️ with some lights and baubles, which might be filled with some goodies for our clients to take home.

Hi everyone, I’m Allison 👋 and I thought it was time to reintroduce myself!

I’m the owner of The Stress Free Groomer, where I take extra special care of all those dogs that visit with me at the salon or i visit with at their home to give a calm styling session to.

I started my business because of a talk I heard at a seminar whilst I was still training, about how a dog feels about the whole grooming experience and I wanted it to be something not for them to worry about, so I wanted to do things differently, so The Stress Free Groomer was born.

Something fun about me: I love Christmas! 🎅 and a Christmas Carol, so it was great to go and enjoy The Great Christmas feast, a mix of A Christmas Carol and threee course meal well worth the visit.

My December grooming appointments are all filled. And on top of that I'm pet sitting for the next couple of weeks, so trying to take festive photos of the dogs is high on my list.
Let me know in the comments what’s on your Christmas wishlist this year! 🎄”

Do you know that many dog groomers won't groom cats?

Your thinking, why not? Their still pets, right?

Of course they are! But cats are feline assassins with sharp hooked knives at their disposal, and you can't restrain them like you could with a dog.

Because at the stress free groomer, we work differently to others, our handling techniques allow pets to feel more comfortable, and for cats, less handling can be a good thing

So, no two days are ever the same.

Today, I started with a cat and ended with a cat
And yes, they definitely benefit from visiting a groomer.

Got to meet Winston, who had his first visit with me today

Welcome, Ivy! 🐾

Today, Ivy had her first visit with us at the Stress-Free Groomer, and what a lovely session it was! Our orientation is all about gently introducing new pups to the grooming experience. This includes a warm welcome, one-on-one time to help Ivy feel at ease, and a gradual introduction to the sights and sounds of grooming.

Every dog has unique needs, so during this 30-minute orientation, we take the time to Listen, Evaluate, Adapt, and Progress (our LEAP framework) to help them feel comfortable at their own pace. Ivy got to explore the grooming table, receive plenty of positive reinforcement, and, most importantly, learn that grooming can be a calm and positive experience.

By starting with this gentle approach, we're laying a foundation for a lifetime of stress-free grooming. If you’re looking to introduce your pup to a calm, compassionate grooming experience, reach out—we’d love to welcome you and your dog to the Stress-Free Groomer family!

Every one is over there expecting their dog to look perfect when they come out of the groomers, but then their are others who are just super happy when you have made some progress!
Wouldn't you rather have a happy dog who is comfortable with what is being done with them or do you just expect them to get on with it?........

When you let your client know their dog is ready and they have cupcakes in the oven.
Would I like one?
Duh!
Even oakley is licking his lips.
