Tia Atkinson, owner of The Dog House Grooming Parlour in Misterton, has been honoured with the Inspirational Women in Business Award 2026, recognising her dedication to providing a calm, personalised, and high-quality grooming experience.
At The Dog House Grooming Parlour, dog grooming is far more than a routine service. It is a carefully designed experience built around trust, comfort, and genuine care. Tia’s one-to-one approach ensures that every dog receives her full attention, creating a relaxed environment that is especially beneficial for nervous, elderly, or first-time dogs.
Located at 37 Grovewood Road in Misterton, the parlour has quickly built a strong reputation among local dog owners seeking a more personalised and stress-free grooming experience. The space itself reflects this commitment to care, featuring a purpose-designed setup with air conditioning for warmer months, heating for winter, and a large enclosed garden where dogs can relax before or after their grooming session.
Additional features such as off-road parking and CCTV monitoring both inside and outside the premises provide reassurance for clients, reinforcing the business’s focus on safety and transparency.
Tia’s professional credentials further strengthen the trust she has built within the community. She is City and Guilds qualified, fully insured, trained in emergency dog first aid, and a Registered Animal Medicine Advisor. Her services extend beyond grooming, including nail-only appointments, free tick removal, and Emmi-pet ultrasonic teeth cleaning to support overall canine health. She also offers Crufts show preparation for clients involved in the show world.
What truly sets The Dog House Grooming Parlour apart is its calm and welcoming atmosphere. Clients regularly highlight how relaxed their dogs feel, and Tia works closely with owners to support pets who may feel anxious. Her patient and compassionate approach has earned long-term loyalty from clients who value both her expertise and her genuine care for animals.
Beyond her own business, Tia has also supported other groomers in developing their skills, welcoming them into her parlour to refine their techniques. This reflects her belief in collaboration within the grooming community and her commitment to raising standards across the industry.
Receiving the Inspirational Women in Business Award 2026 recognises not only Tia’s professional achievements but also the values at the heart of her work. Through consistency, care, and a strong focus on canine wellbeing, she has built a business that feels personal, trusted, and deeply connected to the local community.
As The Dog House Grooming Parlour continues to grow, its foundation remains the same, one groomer, one dog, and a commitment to delivering the highest standard of care every time.
