Why You'll Love Working Here
A spa environment you'll actually want to spend your day in. Our studio is calm, organized, and thoughtfully designed — not the chaotic, fast-paced environment you may have experienced elsewhere. We cap our daily volume at 20 dogs so every fur baby gets the time and attention they deserve.
A specialty that sets us apart. We're known in Airdrie for our expertise with dogs who have anxiety, aggression, mobility issues, or complex care needs. You'll work alongside a team that's invested in doing this work exceptionally well.
Ongoing education and community. Our team actively participates in global grooming communities. We invest in your growth because we believe better-educated groomers mean better-cared-for dogs.
A team that has your back. We're a small, collaborative crew — 3 groomers, a spa care attendant, and a manager — and we work together to support one another. If you're having a hard day, someone notices.
Work that means something. We genuinely believe in what we do. When a nervous dog leaves happy and a pet parent tells us it was the best experience their pup has ever had — that's what we're here for.About Fur Baby SpaFur Baby Spa is a professional dog grooming spa located in Airdrie, Alberta.
