Hi, I'm Katlin

I learned to groom here in Calgary, after realizing that staying in a vet clinic was not for me. I began my grooming journey in a large salon in 2012 and it all snowballed from there....

I started Primpaws pet grooming August of 2015, just a few days after my 24th birthday. I have groomed in tiny boutiques as well as huge multi groomer salons. After starting three successful grooming salons from the ground up (bare room to 200+ clientele) I decided to move my business home. I love being able to take the time with each and every dog from tub to table.
