APEX Academy – Training The Next Generation Of Pet Stylists

Our Regina dog grooming school is founded on the belief that students require a balanced education encompassing both theory and practice. APEX’s unique learning environment combines flexible onsite or online theory classes with hands-on training at our state-of-the-art grooming lab and real-world salon grooming experiences.

Our Zoom Zoom Groom and PreZoomably Cats salons allow students to finesse their dog and cat grooming skills while working with real clients. Graduates are uniquely prepared to enter the grooming industry as next-level Certified Pet Groomers Regina grooming clients desire.

Our Story – From Mobile Grooming To Grooming Education

Zoom Zoom Groom began in 2006 with a single, fully equipped “spaw” trailer delivering convenient mobile grooming services to our Regina-area clients. As demand for exclusive pet grooming services grew, we opened a full-service grooming salon located at 1180 Winnipeg Street in Regina.

Our goal to offer specialized pet grooming services inspired our cat-exclusive salon, PreZoomably Cats, with a separate north entrance at our Winnipeg Street location. Through unwavering commitment to the love, care, and well-being of pets, our business thrived, revealing the need for skilled pet stylists in Regina.

APEX Academy fulfilled our vision, creating a unique ecosystem combining comprehensive education, advanced certification, and unmatched grooming services to help fill this gap.

Zoom Zoom Groom – Regina’s Leading Dog Grooming Salon & Mobile Service

Zoom Zoom Groom is a full-service pet grooming business, offering both salon and mobile grooming services. We meet the needs of our clients by focusing on individualized grooming solutions. Our Winnipeg Street salon provides customized grooming services for dogs of all breeds and coat types, while our mobile grooming option offers convenient, stress-free grooming delivered to the owner’s doorstep.

APEX Academy students gain real-world experience at Zoom Zoom Groom, practicing grooming techniques on live pets under expert supervision. This additional option of care provides an affordable solution that ensures all pet owners have access to exceptional grooming for the health and well-being of their pets.

PreZoomably Cats – A Specialized Feline Grooming Salon

PreZoomably Cats is a dedicated feline grooming salon, created to cater specifically to the grooming needs of cats. Our Certified Feline Master Groomers operate in a separate, exclusive area at our Zoom Zoom Groom location, with a separate north entrance. This dog-free zone creates a stress-free environment for felines.
