Elgin dog groomer moves to new premises

Groomer Alison Tewnion, who owns The Pooch Pod in Elgin, Moray, is opening new premises in the town.

Tewnion opened her business in December 2020 in her shed after being made redundant at parcel delivery firm Evri. She spent around £3,000 to go through training at the Pampers Grooming Academy in Stirling.

She recently moved her business into Moycroft House in Elgin, which was previously home to the old Elgin Roof Truss Company. The rooms have been redesigned, with the installation of a washing area.

New businesses Soggy Doggy, Zoomyloonies Pet Care, and Paws On The Shore will also operate in the premises.

Tewnion told The Press and Journal: “I was previously at a unit at Pinefield Parade. When Moycroft House came up it was a good size of premises and what I need as the business grows. It is more suitable for the needs and I’m really excited for the future.”

In addition, Tewnion told the newspaper that she is keen to pass on her knowledge to new dog groomers.
