About us – the scotgroom way
At Scotgroom our lives revolve around dogs: their wellbeing; their training; their grooming; and their showing. Everything we do is geared towards achieving excellence in what we do. But we believe that true knowledge and experience is only of value when it can be passed on to others, and for many years now that's exactly what we've been doing.
Hundreds of owners, enthusiasts and grooming professionals have benefitted from the Scotgroom way. Although aiming high in any discipline is always challenging, the results speak for themselves.
