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!

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 ;)

Be the envy of every salon with this smock
Let customers speak for us
I’m usually 2xl but looked fitted so I ordered 3xl it is still tight in hip area and arms
This is my first smock and jacket from this company. I can honestly say that I’m in love with them. I’ve had others that make you feel frumpy and uncomfortable when your dog gave you the bath. These were the opposite. Now the only issue is to try and get more.
I have been grooming for 10 years and have been endlessly searching for grooming attire that not only looks good, but functions the way a groomer needs. I can not get over these amazing leggings!! No hair splinters or itchiness whatsoever, the hair literally slides off! Incredibly comfortable, like a regular pair of leggings you would lounge around in. Very quick drying and breathable. I will never wear anything else to groom in!
So I bought these leggings because I am a dog groomer, I've got to say I was truly shocked! I've bought so many different pants/leggings that say they are hair resistant and it all the hair would still get stuck to them. Well not these, they are truly hair resistant! Love them! I will say they run a little big I got a large should have gotten medium.
I absolutely love the design of this grooming tank. It is super square on the neck. Which’s usually flattering for me. It’s long and narrow, and not boxy at all. And the cutest part is the little cut out at the back. It’s stylish and lightweight. Great for the heat, or to layer under a smock or apron, in coole weather.
As someone who works with fur all day (and ends up wearing half of it home), I can't say enough good things about these Hair-Resistant Black Leggings! Not only are they super comfy and flattering—hello, confidence boost!—but they actually repel pet hair like a dream. I’ve put them through the ultimate test: wrangling a golden retriever during bath time. Still looked sharp after.
They’re breathable, squat-proof, and easy to clean—plus, they haven’t pilled or stretched out. These leggings have officially earned their spot in my work wardrobe rotation. If you live the fur-filled life, do yourself a favor and grab a pair. Or three. You won’t regret it.
Best smock ever! This is my first time getting a tank top style smock. I love it the athletic material is super stretchy and feels comfortable. They are true to size and not too tight. I can’t wait to wear in for the Summer! Extra points for cute packaging!
These leggings are really nice and have nice big pockets to put your phone and supplies in. They repel hair really well.
I love these joggers. They are so incredibly well made. The ankle cuff is so tight at first, allowing zero hairs to fall into your shoes and socks. They have a great thickness too. I will say that at 5’5” and 150-152, I am between sizes. I ordered the Medium and they look how I like. I don’t want to look like I’m wearing parachute pants. But when I sit, or lean over, I am filling EVERY inch of fabric. I could have gone with a Lg., for greater confirt. But since I’m trying to lose another 5-10 Lbs., I kept the Mediums. There is def. some stretch, but they are not stretchy, if that makes sense.
I love the little arm slits, and the necline.
I love these leggings, everything about them. The length, the high waisted cut, the pockets, and position of the pockets. I got a few extra items than I was anticipating. So I could try the free leggings. I’m very glad that I did.

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.
