Welcome to GroomGirls – Where Every Dog & Cat is Family

Your Local Dog & Cat Grooming GalsTLC and belly rubs included with every groom.

If you’re searching for home grooming prep in Calgary, you’ve found the perfect guide. GroomGirls operates out of a cozy, home-based salon at 10062 Hidden Valley Dr NW, so your pet gets boutique-style pampering without the bustle of a big shop. Here’s how to get ready for a smooth, stress-free first visit.

1. Know Where You’re Going

Our Home Salon Location: 10062 Hidden Valley Dr NW, Calgary AB T3A 5G2
We’re a family-run grooming studio inside a residential setting—think of us as your friendly neighbor who happens to adore bellies and bows!
Parking & Entry: Street parking in front, then a short walk up to our front door. We’ll greet you curbside if that helps your pet feel at ease.

2. Set the Stage for Comfort

Quiet Arrival: Plan to arrive a few minutes early so your pet can sniff the yard and get acquainted with our home environment.
Familiar Blanket or Bed: If your pet has a favorite throw or cushion, bring it along. Setting it on our grooming table adds a layer of “just like home.”
Treat Stash: Have a handful of your pet’s top treats ready for positive reinforcement throughout the session.

3. Share Your Pet’s Profile

Before we begin, we’ll ask about:

Health Notes: Allergies, arthritis, skin sensitivities—anything we should know.
Behavior Tips: Does your cat prefer slow introductions? Is your senior dog stiff on the first stretch? These insights help us customize our TLC.
