My parents raised poodles as I was growing up. I purchased my first dog from my grandpa for $6.88, when I was about 10 years old. She was a Pug and her name was Snoopy. There hasn't been much time in my life that I didn't have a dog or cat in my home. Today, I have 6 dogs (listed by age), Bella, Ladybug, Snickers, Nala, Ally and Bear. I also have 4 horses, 19 chickens and 2 fish. I love animals, n
o matter what they are. I have always wanted to do something with animals, but never could decide what I wanted to do. So I started looking in to grooming. During my classes of grooming, I also obtained a certification in First Aid, Food & Nutrition and Massage. What I want from my business is to offer a fun, loving place for dogs to go and be loved on, played with and made to look pretty, all in a few hours. A SPA DAY, complete with massage. I knew from the beginning that I didn't want to be in the big grooming salons, so I decided to open my own. This way I could spend as much time with each dog as I wanted and didn't feel like I had to rush with an assembly line. I know how dogs can already be stressed when going to a salon, and I want to offer something different, somewhere that they are more comfortable going to. What I envision a day with your dog - Meet & greet, spend time playing with them and getting them used to me and my area. Prep for grooming (brush, pre-clip, nails, pluck ears & most important MASSAGE). Bathe (massage again). Clean ears. Play some more. Finish clip and call owner for pickup. I would never have more than 4 dogs in my salon at one time, and this would all depend on how each dog reacts to other dogs. If multiple dogs stress out your dog, I will do my best to schedule next appointment where your dog would be the only one here. For me, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DOGS.
