Hi, I'm Tanya, Owner/Operator of Puppy In My Pocket Dog Grooming.
My grooming career started in 2004, where I trained under a master groomer. Quickly falling in love with dog grooming, I worked at various salons in Calgary. I have always dreamed of owning my own salon, so here it is!
I believe in making every dog's grooming experience a positive one. I genuinely enjoy my job and love animals of all shapes and sizes. I believe if a grooming experience is stress-free for the dog, it is stress-free for me too. I take pride in keeping the salon extremely clean and organized for a smooth operation.
The team and I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend(s)!
