My name is Tanya Ellis and I am an author and own a successful pet grooming salon in Mississauga, Ontario as well as a 2nd location in Scarborough Ontario. I have been grooming dogs for over 20 years and pets are my passion. I live in Mississauga, Ontario With my husband, our toy poodle Stuey, and our Indian Pariah Dog Richie. I enjoy long hikes outdoors with my husband and our dogs. My newest hobby is birding which I really enjoy. I love to travel and have been to some super fun places that you will read within my book, Pet Grooming is Like Mountain Climbing: How to Overcome Your Hugest Obstacles. I enjoy giving back to the Lion’s Foundation of Canada ( The Dog Guides of Canada). I also enjoy photography and meeting new people.
