Hey! I’m Toni. I’ve been a professional groomer for over 16 years now, and honestly, I still love it as much as I did when I started. I grew up in BC and spent most of my life surrounded by animals—dogs, horses, whatever would let me near. I’ve always just felt more at ease with them than with most people.

These days I’m based in Lacombe and work out of The Grooming Shop. It’s a good little spot, and I get to spend my days doing what I love: helping dogs feel clean, calm, and cared for. I’m also a full-time animal mom to Scar (the sweet, serious one), and my lovely horse named French Fry, who’s got more personality than most folks I know.

I moved out here for a quieter life—somewhere I could slow down and do things with a little more intention. I’m not into flashy or chaotic. I believe dogs deserve routines, comfort, soft voices, and someone who knows how to read what they’re feeling. That’s what I try to bring every day.

If your pup comes to stay, they’re not just another booking on a calendar. They’re getting the same care I give my own—walks, snuggles, belly rubs, space to breathe, and a warm place to crash. And if you're the type who misses them (don’t worry, I get it), I’ll be sending updates so you don’t miss a thing.
