About Groom Huntley

Welcome to Groom Huntley, where your dog’s happiness and well-being are our top priorities. My name is Christine, and I’ve been blessed to spend many years doing what I love most—caring for dogs and cats and making them feel their absolute best. Here at Groom Huntley, we don’t just see grooming as a service. We see it as an opportunity to bond with your furry family members and to be part of their lives in a way that goes beyond just brushing fur or trimming nails.

A Lifetime of Love for Dogs

My journey into the world of dog grooming started at a young age. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals, especially dogs. They’ve been my companions, my confidants, and my greatest teachers in life. From the moment I could hold a brush, I was grooming my family’s dogs, learning the intricacies of different coat types, and discovering how to make each dog feel comfortable and loved during the process. This passion led me to pursue formal training, and over the years, I’ve honed my skills to become the groomer I am today.

Every dog I meet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and quirks. It’s my mission to understand those nuances and to create an environment where every dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved. Whether your dog is a bouncy puppy experiencing their first bath or a seasoned senior who needs a gentle touch, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.

Our Philosophy at Groom Huntley

At Groom Huntley, we believe that grooming should be a positive and enriching experience for your dog. It’s not just about keeping them clean and well-groomed, although that’s certainly important. It’s about ensuring that they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved throughout the process. This means taking the time to get to know each dog, to understand their unique needs, and to build a relationship of trust with them.

We operate on the principle that every dog deserves respect and kindness. Grooming can be a vulnerable experience for a dog, and it’s our job to make sure that they feel safe and secure at all times. We never rush through a grooming session, and we’re always attentive to your dog’s signals, making adjustments as needed to ensure they’re comfortable.

A Tailored Approach to Grooming

No two dogs are alike, and neither are their grooming needs. Whether your dog has a thick double coat that requires regular deshedding or a fine, silky coat that needs careful trimming, we’ve got the expertise to handle it all. But it’s not just about the technical side of grooming. It’s about understanding what makes your dog tick.

Some dogs love the water and can’t wait to jump into the bath, while others are a bit more hesitant. Some dogs find the sound of clippers soothing, while others might be a little nervous. We take all of this into account, adjusting our techniques to match your dog’s temperament. Our goal is to create a positive association with grooming so that your dog looks forward to their visits to Groom Huntley.

Creating a Calm and Loving Environment

Walking into Groom Huntley should feel like a breath of fresh air—for both you and your dog. We’ve designed our space to be a calm and welcoming environment where your dog can relax and enjoy the grooming process. We know that some dogs can be anxious, especially if they’ve had a negative experience with grooming in the past. That’s why we’ve gone out of our way to create a space that feels more like home and less like a clinic.

We use soothing music, calming scents, and gentle handling techniques to make sure your dog feels at ease. Our grooming stations are designed with your dog’s comfort in mind, with soft mats to stand on and plenty of space for them to move around. We also take our time with each dog, allowing them to get used to the environment before we start the grooming process.

Building Trust with Every Groom

Trust is the foundation of everything we do at Groom Huntley. We understand that leaving your dog in someone else’s care can be a big step, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. We’re committed to building a relationship of trust with both you and your dog. This means being transparent about our processes, listening to your concerns, and always putting your dog’s needs first.

We’ll take the time to discuss your dog’s grooming needs with you, answering any questions you might have and providing expert advice on how to keep your dog’s coat healthy between grooming sessions. We’re also here to address any special concerns, whether it’s a sensitive skin condition, a fear of water, or any other issue that might require extra care.

A Lifetime of Care

Grooming isn’t just a one-time service—it’s a lifelong commitment to your dog’s health and happiness. Regular grooming is essential for maintaining your dog’s coat, skin, and overall well-being. At Groom Huntley, we’re here to support you every step of the way, from your puppy’s first bath to your senior dog’s gentle grooming sessions.

We offer a range of services tailored to meet the needs of dogs at every stage of life. Whether it’s a simple bath and brush, a full groom with a breed-specific haircut, or a specialized service like deshedding or flea treatment, we’re here to help. And because we know that grooming can sometimes be stressful for dogs, especially those with special needs, we offer extra care and attention to ensure that every dog leaves our salon feeling happy and refreshed.
