Companion Animal Grooming Institute of Australia

Happy birthday to our incredible co-founder, Angela Anderson ICMG — celebrating a very special milestone today ✨🎂🎉

Even if you haven’t met Angela personally, if you’ve been through our 5-week ‘Foundations of Dog Grooming’ course, you’ve experienced her work. She’s the inspiring Master Groomer and creator behind the course that has given so many aspiring groomers across Perth their very first start — and a solid, thoughtful foundation to build on.

CAGIA simply wouldn’t be what it is without her.

From all of us at CAGIA — with so much love and gratitude — we hope you have the most beautiful birthday 🤍

✨ New year. New direction. New career.

There’s something powerful about backing yourself — and deciding this is the year you stop thinking about it and actually do it.

Seeing comments like this from our past students reminds us why CAGIA exists. This isn’t just a grooming course. It’s confidence. It’s skill. It’s community. It’s a genuine pathway into a professional grooming career.

If 2026 is your year to change direction, invest in yourself, and turn your love of animals into something real… Your first step starts here. 🐾
