RIA YU TIAN.

Personalised dog grooming service where your pet is a VIP

RIA WITH FREYA, THE HUSKY – ONE OF HER MANY REGULAR CLIENTS.

Grooming your dog is way more than just wanting the animal to look good (which it does, of course). Getting your dog groomed every six weeks helps reduce skin irritations, reduces allergies, helps your dog’s socialisation skills and general behaviour, and makes them feel relaxed. “If they know they are cared for, they will reward you with being a faithful, well-behaved companion.” Ria Yu Tian trained as a professional dog groomer in 2017. She grew up around animals in her homeland of the Philippines - dogs, cats, rabbits – she loved them all. When she moved to New Zealand, initially in Porirua and then to Wairarapa, her interest in dog grooming grew and she investigated the training necessary. At her home in Moreton Road, Carterton, Ria has established a dog grooming salon for her canine clients. It’s light and airy with clean black and white tones which welcomes the dog and owner. Ria only deals with one dog at a time, so there is no anguish for the animal with other dogs around. Once groomed, they are rewarded with a playful romp in the fenced and private backyard. What’s not to like about this personalised service? Your pet will thank you for it.
