About Us - glade-forge

Our Story

What began as a simple passion for animals evolved into a mission to transform how pets experience grooming. Traditional salons, while well-intentioned, often create environments that stress our beloved companions.

We established glade-forge with one guiding principle: every pet deserves care that respects their comfort and individuality. By bringing our services directly to homes across London, we eliminate the anxiety of travel and unfamiliar surroundings.

Our team consists of certified groomers who have worked with thousands of pets, from nervous rescues to show-quality purebreds. Each member shares our commitment to patience, gentleness, and meticulous attention to detail.

Our Core Values

The principles that guide every interaction with your pets

Compassion First

Every pet is treated with the same care and attention we would give our own. We read body language and adjust our approach to ensure comfort.

Professional Excellence

Continuous training ensures our techniques remain current. We invest in quality equipment and premium, pet-safe products.

Trust and Transparency

We communicate openly about what we observe during sessions. If we notice anything concerning, you will be the first to know.

Convenience Without Compromise

Mobile service should never mean lesser quality. We bring the full salon experience to your home, minus the stress.

Our Approach to Pet Wellness

Grooming is about far more than aesthetics. Regular coat care supports skin health, reduces shedding, and allows early detection of potential issues like lumps, parasites, or skin conditions.

We view each session as an opportunity to contribute to your pet's overall wellbeing. Our groomers are trained to spot abnormalities and will always inform you of any observations that may warrant veterinary attention.

Serving Greater London

From Hampstead to Greenwich, Kensington to Stratford, our mobile service reaches pet owners throughout the capital. We understand London life can be demanding, which is why we offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends.

Whether you live in a flat, a townhouse, or have limited mobility, our team adapts to your circumstances. We bring everything needed for a complete grooming session, requiring only access to water and a suitable space for your pet.
