Sept 2022: Cyan has relocated to Victoria to be closer to her partner. We are extremely sad to see her re-locate however are so proud of the professional animal groomer she's become. We all still remain close and cannot wait for her return in the next few years to Dodge City Grooming. If Victoria is closer to you and Cyan was your pup's groomer. Please feel free to call or text our salon number to get the name and number to Cyan's new employment she's working out of.
We will be keeping all of Cyan's past clientele. Leanne, Sarah or Cara would love to pick up where Cyan left off. Best of luck on your life adventure, we will be here when you return.
We are hoping to have Cyan join us once a month for a “Feature Groomer” Saturday. We will keep all her wonderful clients up to date on when this will be happening.

Sarah has 1 of her own fur babies at home (Tank) who’s a senior, beautiful German shepherd.
Sarah & Leanne go back 10+ years with very similar work ethic, compassion and always eagerness to learn/move. This is why Sarah made a very smooth and quick transition into DCG.
Sarah had graduated as of Jan 2021 from the JKL distance grooming education. She apprenticed with Leanne & Cara during her schooling and continues to pick up skills amongst our team. She learned very quickly and her ability to understand attention to detail was a plus as well.
She's now available to take on her clientele here at Dodge City Grooming salon. One of the many things you’ll love about Sarah is her warm laugh, sense of humour and the ability to treat your pup as if he/she is one of her own. Your pup will love her as much as we do! Sarah is excellent with all breeds of dogs but with her strength, she’s one of our groomers who can comfortably handle/support large breed dogs. With that being said she has a big soft spot for all doodles and golden retrievers.
