About us
Our values
At Dog-A-Holic, we are on a mission to revolutionise the dog grooming industry and set a new standard of excellence. For far too long, the industry has lacked regulations and proper training, allowing anyone with clippers to claim to be a professional groomer. We believe it’s time to change that.
Our core values stem from two important principles. Firstly, we are dedicated to ensuring our beloved pets receive the best possible care and treatment. Secondly, we recognise the need for a comprehensive approach to grooming education, one that emphasises knowledge, skill, attention to detail, and business acumen.
We take immense pride in our track record of success, achieved through a combination of top-notch facilities, world-class instructors, state-of-the-art equipment, a comprehensive curriculum, and a commercially focused learning program.
