Welcome to Grooming By The Canal!
– Now Accepting New Clients!
At Grooming By The Canal, we believe in humanity over vanity—your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first. As a certified groomer and Reiki practitioner, I specialize in creating a stress-free grooming experience, especially for anxious, senior, or first-time pets. My goal is to earn each animal’s trust, working at their pace to ensure a positive experience every visit.
I welcome dogs of all sizes, from teacup pups to Irish Wolfhounds, as well as cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Whether your pet needs a full groom, a gentle introduction to grooming, or Reiki-infused relaxation, they will always be treated with patience, kindness, and respect.
To prioritize the health and safety of all our clients, a valid rabies certificate is required for all dogs and cats when booking an appointment.
