Hello, my name is Jay Gagnon. I’ve spent the past 5 years grooming animals in a family-owned business, where I’ve gained valuable experience in both the technical skills of grooming and the softer aspects of animal care. Over the years, I’ve become proficient with scissors and grooming tools, but what truly sets me apart is my genuine compassion for the animals I work with. I believe in creating a calm and positive environment for each pet, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during their grooming sessions. My approach is always gentle, understanding that each animal has its own temperament and needs. I’m dedicated not just to grooming, but to enhancing the well-being of every pet I handle, building trust with them and their owners alike. I look forward to working with you and your pets, ensuring they leave feeling their best.
A devoted partner and proud dad.

Compassionate, gentle and patient.
The Grooming Den was created with one simple goal: to provide a calm, personalized grooming experience where every pet is treated like family. Unlike busy, high-volume salons, we schedule appointments one-on-one whenever possible, creating a quieter, less stressful environment where dogs and cats can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed throughout their visit. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a nervous senior, or simply deserves a little extra patience, we take the time to get to know every personality and tailor each groom to their individual needs.
Our philosophy has always been simple: Happy In. Happy Out.
When pets feel calm, they groom better—and when they groom better, everyone goes home happier. Why Pet Parents Choose The Grooming Den At The Grooming Den, we believe grooming is about much more than looking good. It’s about trust, patience, and building lasting relationships with both pets and their families.
We look forward to providing exceptional care and grooming services, ensuring both you and your pet leave happy. We can’t wait to meet you and your beloved companion soon.

A Family Business Built with Heart
The Grooming Den is more than just a grooming salon—it’s a dream that Jay and Kerry built together from the ground up.
Jay brings years of professional grooming experience and a calm, patient approach to every pet he works with. Kerry manages the business behind the scenes, oversees client communication, marketing, and customer service, and is also a graduate of The Super Groomer Advanced Private Training Program.
Together, their goal has always been to create a place where pets feel comfortable, owners feel confident, and every visit is a positive experience.
From your pet’s first puppy visit to their senior years, they look forward to welcoming your family into theirs.
We created The Grooming Den to be a calm, stress-free place where pets feel safe, loved and cared for like our own. We’re here for you and your pets always.
