If you’ve ever wondered whether your pup could use some time in the tank, this episode is your sign to dive in. So come paddle along with us—because healing doesn’t have to be dry.

    Welcome back, pet friends! Legend has it I only appear when the vibes are immaculate — and look at that, I’m here. It’s me, Nessie, your host and resident bringer of good energy and great conversations. Today’s guest is the iconic celebrity Gloria the Groomer — award-winner, educator, competition stylist, and living proof that glitter runs through the veins of greatness. She’s got six years of experience with scissors, clippers, and sass, and she’s here to spill the tea on what groomers wish pet parents knew but are usually too polite to say out loud.

    We’re diving into all things grooming: prepping your pet for the salon, what’s really going on with that matted fur (spoiler: your groomer definitely noticed), how to spot a top-notch grooming service, and why you shouldn’t blame your dog’s new haircut on Mercury Retrograde. Whether you’re a fellow industry pro, an aspiring groomer, or a pet parent who just wants their floof looking fabulous, this episode is packed with tips, truths, and a few laughs along the way.

    Because at the end of the day? Snip happens. And Gloria’s here to make sure it happens beautifully.
