Welcome to Slippery Rock Pet Grooming:
The Hap-PAW-ning place for dogs and cats!!

Graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of Pet Grooming, Certified State School
Slippery Rock Pet Grooming is entering its 6th year of operation. Handicap parking and ramped stairs are available, conveniently located on Rt. 173 in Slippery Rock, PA. Visa and Mastercard are both accepted.
I started Slippery Rock Pet Grooming because I have always had a love dogs and cats as a child and as an adult, including some other wild pets such as rabbits and birds, whom I was always trying to nurse back to health. I followed the path of Nursing (for humans) for 33 years. Throughout my life, I always had pets with way too much hair and I like to keep pets clean and smelling fresh. It was time for me to learn the proper and easier way to groom our hairy rescued pet dog, Patter, and kitty cat, Tiger to reduce shedding and make them comfortable and clean. I went to grooming school in 2001 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Pet Grooming in Indiana, PA. I enjoyed the classes and pets so much and knew that our area had a need for my services as people were driving long distances for grooming. I opened my own salon in 2001 and have been in the Slippery Rock Professional Building ever since.
I have not stopped learning the skills of the pet grooming industry as I attend yearly seminars at the Hershey Groom Expo in September, which is the largest east coast trade and education show. We also are certified in pet first aid by the American Red Cross. Our salon also offers West Paw Pet Beds, Quadruped Shampoos, Lupine leashes, as well as many other products to make your best friend cozy and comfortable. Come visit us sometime with or without your pet. We offer a friendly reception room with these pet products and more to help you and your pets. I will also try to help with any questions you may have about your pet to make your experience the best it can be. Check out our Products and Services page to find more information, as well as the calendar to find out when we are open.
