Grooming smocks aren't what they used to be!
MEET THE MAKER
I searched everywhere for smocks that were both functional and stylish, but I couldn't find any with vertical zippered pockets, longer length, side slits, and durable zippers. So, I decided to create them! Now, after wearing my work uniforms, people constantly tell me they never realized how uncomfortable their other work clothes were. Discover what it’s like to feel and look great at work again!

Water Resistant
Pet groomers and hair stylists get wet! Protect your undergarments from getting soaked with our water-resistant smocks, pants & athletic apparel. Bathe away and worry not about those dog shakes. We got you!
Hair Resistant
Wipe or blow off hair with ease in our fur-resistant grooming smocks and pants. Say goodbye to hair getting stuck between threads or mounds of hair in your dryer's lint trap.

This is the cutest design! My favorite design on a smock. I get so many compliments on it. Great quality too! I had to size up on this style but it fits well.
Incredibly Professional Attire! I purchased multiple Dorian style shirts that complimented my salon aesthetic. They are PERFECT! I recently put a large black cat in a lion trim while wearing my Dorian. I do the majority of the shave work with the cat in my lap. Not an ounce of coat stayed glued to my shirt!
Best Smock ever!!I love this smock so much! It’s so cute and the hair falls right off of it!! I literally have almost one of each! I only have a couple more to go ;)

I LOVE these and they actually work, I shaved a spaniel today and normally that’s a recipe for itchy leggings and hair splinters, but these pants are amazing and worked! Will be getting more :)

Most of our grooming apparel is crafted from 100% polyester, known for its water-wicking and hair-repellent properties. This fabric is also light and cool, making it perfect for a busy grooming environment.
Our athletic line FabFlex fabric combines 82% polyester and 18% spandex, providing the perfect balance of durability and stretch. This blend ensures that hair and water fall right off, keeping you comfortable and efficient throughout your day.
ARE YOUR SMOCKS HAIR RESISTANT & WATER RESISTANT?
Yes, our smocks are both water-resistant and hair-resistant. They are made from high-quality 100% polyester, which effectively wicks away water and repels hair, keeping you dry and clean throughout your grooming tasks. Our athletic line, made from a blend of 82% polyester and 18% spandex, also ensures that hair and water fall right off, providing added durability and stretch for maximum comfort and functionality.

Anal Glands: Groomer or Vet
Anal gland expression has long been a routine grooming service, but it’s not always necessary for every pet. Healthy anal glands typically empty naturally, and excessive expression can sometimes do more harm than good. Groomers play a vital role in identifying signs of anal gland issues, such as scooting or swelling, and providing care or referrals when needed. By offering this service as an optional add-on rather than a standard procedure, groomers can ensure pets receive tailored care while enhancing their business offerings.
