Apparently having a bath is exhausting when you’re Kipper.
Short coat does not mean no coat maintenance.
One misconception I hear fairly often is that short-haired, double-coated dogs don’t really need professional baths because they don’t have long hair, tangles or a haircut to maintain.
But underneath that sleek exterior is an entire second layer of coat.
A short double coat still continually accumulates:
• loose and compacted undercoat
• natural oils and sebum
• dead skin and dander
• dirt, pollen and environmental debris
A thorough bath does much more than make the dog smell nice.
Proper cleansing, conditioning and high-velocity drying help release dead undercoat, clean the skin beneath the coat and support normal coat turnover. The drying process is especially important with double coats because it separates the hair and physically moves loose undercoat that brushing alone may leave behind.
And no bathing a dog does not inherently “strip all the oils from their skin.”
Product choice, dilution, water temperature, thorough rinsing, conditioning and drying technique all matter. A well-designed grooming routine should support the skin barrier rather than simply degrease the coat.
Kipper may never need an elaborate haircut, but his coat still deserves intentional maintenance.
He has chosen to recover from that maintenance by being unconscious for the foreseeable future.

Hello, Calgary.

For those who do not know me yet, I’m Addison, the groomer behind Addison Grooming Studio, and I am pleased to announce that I am now grooming at The Beast Boutique.

My approach is centred around intentional grooming, coat health and creating a finished style that suits the dog in front of me.

I especially enjoy working with poodles, curly and long-coated breeds, specialty trims, significant transformations, puppies and dogs that benefit from a patient, thoughtful approach to grooming.

I also believe strongly in client education. Maintaining a beautiful coat is a partnership between professional grooming appointments and the right home-care routine, and I am always happy to help clients understand what their individual dog requires.

I am currently welcoming new grooming clients from Calgary and the surrounding area.

A new chapter for Addison Grooming Studio
I’m pleased to share that I am now grooming from The Beast Boutique in Calgary.

While the location is new, the standard of care remains the same. My work will continue to focus on thoughtful, individualized grooming with close attention to coat condition, balance, finish and the comfort of each dog on my table.

My specialties include:

• Breed-specific and specialty grooming
• Poodles and high-maintenance coat types
• Coat rehabilitation and corrective grooming
• Puppy introductions and first grooms
• Nervous and sensitive dogs
• One-on-one, detail-focused grooming

I believe exceptional grooming should be more than a haircut. It should support coat health, preserve proper structure and create an experience that is calm, intentional and tailored to the individual dog.

I’m looking forward to continuing to grow Addison Grooming Studio within The Beast Boutique and welcoming both existing clients and new faces into this next chapter.

Misha and Mochi two beautiful cats, and two very different reviews of the grooming process. 🤍

One looks wide-eyed and deeply concerned.
The other appears to be quietly reconsidering every life decision that led to the bath.

Behind the expressions, though, is an important reminder: professional cat grooming is not simply cosmetic.

For many cats, especially long-haired cats, regular grooming helps remove loose undercoat, reduce shedding, prevent matting, improve comfort, and support overall coat and skin health. Some cats maintain their coats beautifully on their own, while others benefit greatly from skilled, gentle assistance.

At Addison Grooming Studio, feline grooming is approached with patience, careful observation, and respect for the cat in front of me. Cats are handled according to their comfort, coat condition, and tolerance not rushed through a process that doesn’t suit them.

Sometimes the result is a smoother coat, less shedding, and a more comfortable cat.
Sometimes the result is also a slightly offended expression wrapped in a towel.

Either way, Misha and Mochi were very good for their appointment, and both left feeling cleaner, lighter, and better maintained.

Every groom is more than a haircut.

It's patience.
It's trust.
It's understanding the cat standing on the table.
And it's hundreds of small, intentional decisions that come together to create a result that's beautiful, functional, and comfortable for the cat wearing it.

This is why I love what I do.

Watching a cat leave feeling lighter, cleaner, and more confident never gets old.

Meadow the Chinese Crested
Some dogs walk into the salon looking for a haircut.
Meadow walked in looking for a complete transformation.
Chinese Cresteds are one of the most unique breeds in the dog world. Their signature hairless body requires regular maintenance to keep the skin clean, healthy, and comfortable, while their furnishings, crest, socks, and tail need careful grooming to stay soft, balanced, and elegant.
For Meadow's groom, we focused on creating a clean silhouette, maintaining healthy skin, preserving her beautiful furnishings, and finishing everything with a polished topknot that perfectly suits her personality.
And of course, no grooming appointment is complete without a little supervision from a curious Golden Retriever making sure quality control standards are being met. 🐾
What do you think of Meadow's makeover?
Have you ever met a Chinese Crested before?

Fresh groom. Bright eyes. Confident stance. Ready to take on the world.
There’s something special about watching a dog step off the grooming table feeling comfortable, refreshed, and proud of themselves. Every groom is more than just a haircut—it’s about maintaining coat health, creating balance and structure, and making sure each dog leaves feeling their very best.
This sweet little one was an absolute delight to work with today and left looking polished, comfortable, and ready for plenty of compliments.
At Addison Grooming Studio, every groom is tailored to the individual dog, with a focus on gentle handling, thoughtful grooming, and results that support both coat health and overall well-being.
What would you name this little cutie? 💛
