Welcome to Pawsitively Purrfect

At Pawsitively Purrfect, we don’t just groom pets – we care for their wellbeing, inside and out. Right here in Inverclyde and beyond, we are dedicated to nurturing the health, comfort, and emotional happiness of all your beloved companions, whether they bark or purr.

Founded in 2007 by Christina O’Donnell – a highly experienced Professional Pet Groomer, Trainer, and Assessor – we are proud to be a multi-award-winning salon and the only pet groomers in the area to hold the prestigious Icon Award.

Whether your pet is visiting us for a relaxing spa treatment, or you are joining our Training Academy to learn how to expertly care for your own animals at home or start a rewarding new career journey, you can count on the same core values: excellence, compassion, and a calm, expert pair of hands.

Award-Winning Holistic Grooming

We provide a full range of luxury grooming and gentle spa treatments for dogs, cats, and small animals. Our salon is built on a 100% cage-free, stress-free philosophy because we believe in moving at your pet’s pace, always. From precision scissoring to traditional hand-stripping, we use only natural, chemical-free products to keep your pet healthy, comfortable, and happy.

Premier Training Academy

Whether you’re ready to step into a rewarding new career or you simply want to give your own four-legged family member the absolute best care at home, we are here to hold the lead. As an approved iPET Network Training Provider, we give you the real-world tools and hands-on skills to succeed. From professional dog and cat grooming qualifications for future pros, to essential pet first aid workshops for pet parents, our expert-led courses are designed to help you build true confidence.

Our Safe Salon Guarantee

To ensure a calm, relaxed, and safe environment for every animal that walks through our doors, we promise:

No Cages or Crates

We never cage or crate pets.

No Cabinet Dryers

We do not use cabinet or cage dryers.

A Constant Companion

Your pet is never left unattended and remains with a trained professional at all times.

Expertise You Can Trust

All of our groomers are either fully qualified or working towards industry-recognised certifications, and every single team member holds a current Pet First Aid certificate.

We are revamping our Puppy Academy!

Introducing a puppy to grooming from as early as 14 weeks old (after their final vaccinations) is vital to preventing future grooming anxiety. Too often, we see pups who find the salon scary. Our revamped Puppy Academy is specially designed for puppies under 6 months old to build lifelong confidence in a safe, fun, and relaxing environment.
