Grooming anyone?
We are so excited to be bringing our style to

Dogs require regular baths and nail trimming to stay healthy.
Do you have a dog with an undercoat? Double undercoat? Then they need de shedding now so their winter coat leaves your house and their summer coat grows in correctly and no ingrown hairs form
Does your dog need a haircut? Keep their furnishings and skirt clean and keep matts at bay with regular 4-6 week appointments
Grooming is not just about appearance but it’s about their health and minimizing matts, skin infections and reducing allergens.
Making your pet comfortable during this “in their face” closeness requires their trust.
Having a relationship with your pet allows us to gain their trust instead of forcing compliance.
We listen to your pet, we allow them to relax and enjoy the process.
Fear Free certified groomers show your pets the highest level of care and understanding so they have the best experience.
Does your pet need regular grooming appointments? Give us a call 📞

Our Story

“Puppy.” That was the first word I spoke. It’s also the way I met my husband years later. Our mutual love of puppies. And cats. And birds. And fish. And kids. We both grew up as the kid in the neighborhood who babysat, mowed yards, and walked the neighborhood dogs. The first dog I cared for was the 19 year old toy poodle, Suzette, who belonged to a family of eight children I babysat, when they went on vacation. I knew which bed she would be hiding under, I would sit with her and hand feed her wet food on a spoon and I would carry her outside to ti**le. I would bring her back in and place her carefully on the bed with pillows so she could see the birds outside and she would wait for me to come back a few hours later.

We started our business in 1998 so we could care for pets in their homes because it was less stressful for the animals than boarding and our focus expanded to the dog bakery we started in 2002 which grew to the store and all the extras like dog grooming and dog training. We figured do what you love and it doesn’t feel like work. We try to surround ourselves with like-minded staff, people who care about the pets in their care.

Our entire focus in the store is on providing the most nutritious foods & treats, the best quality toys, beds, accessories and providing the best possible service which comes with years of experience under our hats and offering sage advice to those who ask. We try to provide the best value for people who care as deeply for their pets as we do.

Welcome.
