Hi, I'm Ann
I first learned grooming in Ukraine after realizing that I wanted to work with dogs. At that time, I was already passionate about dog shows and had completed initial veterinary training, as well as education as a breeder-kinologist and a canine expert specializing in Schnauzers.
I began my grooming career in a large salon in 2014, and everything snowballed from there. I was always curious about different techniques and approaches to coat care, so I continually work on improving my skills and learning new methods.
In 2018, we moved to Halifax, Canada, where I started working at Prim and Pupper Pet Grooming. Over the years, I have groomed in both small boutique salons and large multi-groomer facilities. Eventually, I decided to move my business home, where I can dedicate time and attention to each dog—from tub to table.
