Pawsitively Purrfect is an award-winning pet grooming salon and training academy based in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde. Founded in 2007 by professional groomer, trainer and assessor Christina O’Donnell, the business combines holistic pet care with practical education for animal lovers and aspiring professionals. Its salon offers grooming and spa treatments for dogs, cats and small animals, including precision scissoring and traditional hand-stripping.

The approach is cage-free and focused on reducing stress, with natural, chemical-free products and trained staff staying with pets throughout their visit. Services also include animal Reiki and holistic therapies, plus a Puppy Academy that introduces puppies to grooming through short, gentle sessions and offers owners guidance for at-home care. The training academy is an approved iPET Network provider, offering regulated dog and cat grooming qualifications, pet first aid courses, workshops and training for existing and future pet professionals.

Small-group teaching, hands-on experience in the salon and ongoing learner support are central to its courses
