Puppy's First Groom
Still not sure? We'll help you choose. 💙
A positive first experience lasts a lifetime.
First grooms are about building trust, introducing tools, and teaching your puppy that grooming can be safe, calm, and even fun.
Happy Hoodies and treats are available. You're welcome to bring a lick mat or approved comfort item. Some puppies may not receive a full haircut—the goal is a happy, successful foundation.
We confirm vaccination records, notes, special requests, and anything your pup needs us to know.
Bath, drying, brushing, haircut, and selected extras—plus plenty of treats, pets, and encouragement.
Your dog gets individualized attention and a pace that makes sense for them.

I started working with dogs when I was 18, at the Humane Society in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, where I was born and raised.
While I was there, I met a master groomer who volunteered at the shelter. She took me under her wing and spent two years teaching me the art of grooming. That experience became the foundation for everything I do today.
Since then, I've worked in almost every corner of the dog industry—from dog training and boarding/daycare to taking dogs on off-leash hikes through the Colorado mountains. And through it all, I've always continued grooming.
Eventually, I realized I wanted to do things differently. After leaving my last salon, I started Blue Ridge Dog Grooming because I wanted to create a warm, inviting environment for dogs who struggle with grooming.
I didn't want to groom ten dogs a day while worrying about the next dog waiting in the next room. I was burnt out, and I knew there had to be a better way.
Now I get to slow down and really work with each dog—to notice when they're nervous, celebrate when they accomplish something new, and give them the patience they deserve.
I also genuinely love getting to know my clients. I love hearing about their families, their adventures, their dogs' personalities, and everything in between. Over time, I feel like I become a small part of their lives—and that's one of the most special parts of this job.
At the end of the day, I want every dog who walks into Blue Ridge to feel safe, cared for, and understood.
One pup. One groomer. Lots of love. 💙
Real feedback from real Blue Ridge pups and their people.
“I like that she works with one dog at a time, so my dog wasn't waiting in a crate.”
“Kind, patient and an excellent groomer! She worked so well with my very anxious dog!”
“Ella was so patient and sweet with my little guy Buster… She was even able to use the dremel, which he hadn’t tolerated with other groomers.”
“Ella was super personable, communicated quickly and loved my dog!! Definitely going back and would highly recommend her.”
“Ella does a fantastic job grooming my standard Goldendoodle. He loves her too, which makes for an easy grooming experience, and makes me happy.”
Every coat is different. Here are a couple of real Blue Ridge transformations—from fluffy, overgrown coats to fresh, comfortable grooms.
A fresh, balanced groom while keeping that adorable teddy-bear personality.
A good bath, brush-out and groom can make a world of difference.

Tell us ahead of time. We work patiently and use positive reinforcement, but safety comes first. Dogs displaying unsafe aggression or biting cannot be groomed.
If brushing would cause significant discomfort or compromise skin or wellbeing, a shave-down may be necessary. The $20 base matting fee applies and additional fees may apply for exceptionally severe cases. A requested haircut may not be possible.
Please give at least 24 hours notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may be subject to a 50% cancellation fee.
A 50% groom fee is required as a deposit toward the next groom before another appointment can be booked.

Cash, card, Apple Pay, Venmo—and yes, we may accept a little honey as a trade. 🍯😂
Absolutely. A reference photo helps us understand the look you're going for.
Some dogs need a little more time, equipment, or specialized handling. We keep that pricing individualized rather than posting a one-size-fits-all price online.
We do not offer online booking. Please call, text, or email us to request an appointment. We'll talk with you about your pup and get you scheduled directly.
