Wags To Riches

Wags To Riches Locally owned and operated, high quality grooming salon conveniently located in Fuquay Varina, NC. Thank You,
Connie Williams

Wags To Riches was established in May of 2013, when owner and founder Connie Williams made the transition from the corporate world to small business start-up and hasn’t looked back...
Connie has always loved taking care of animals and knew that owning a business of her own would be a rewarding experience. So, in 2012 she made the leap, took the risk, and combined the two into a passion that has no

w become a personal and community success, and Wags to Riches was born! She made the commitment to educate herself on how to groom, got certified, and started working out of her home salon. As her small business grew and her clientele grew with it, she encountered her first set-back. In 2016, Connie was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to fight a new battle. In typical Connie fashion, she rolled up her sleeves, determined to fight cancer and move on with her life, by mentoring, training and employing her step- daughter, Carsen Bowen, to groom and help operate the business. While Connie was fighting breast cancer and dealing with surgeries, her step-daughter was busy managing Wags to Riches and successfully keeping it going. In July 2017, with a successful dog-grooming business and growing clientele, Connie and Carsen became partners and moved into a storefront location in Fuquay-Varina. During the next 4 years, the salon grew and became even more successful because of the one commitment they keep for their client’s - to never crate any of the dogs and to always “groom with a personal touch”. Wags to Riches is a woman owned small business and a true success story! Today, Carsen has moved on and started her own salon, but Wags to Riches continues to thrive and grow. Connie credits the success to the talented, hard-working and dedicated staff at the salon. She says her team is by far the most dedicated, caring and reliable team that any owner could wish for. “Without these girls, Wags wouldn’t be as successful as we are today”, says Connie. Wags to Riches commitment to its employees, its clients, and the “fur babies” has always been the number one priority, and they promise to continue to follow the policies and practices that keep clients happy and returning week after week. Wags To Riches is a crate free grooming salon that offers dedicated service to its clients. We take pride in providing a service that most salon’s do not offer: a crate-free method of grooming and scheduling our clients to the exact time needed to complete the groom. Our mission is to provide less stress for the dog and quicker completion of grooming sessions to allow a more positive, safe, and stress-free environment for both the animal and the owner.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS

Wags To Riches will move to a new location in early March 2025 and will expand services to include Boarding, Doggie Daycare, and Grooming.

Beginning on January 1, 2025, ALL CLIENTS will need to provide the following vaccinations prior to any service.

1. Rabies Vaccination

Pursuant to G.S. 130A-185, every owner of a domestic dog, cat or ferret in North Carolina is required to have their animal currently vaccinated against rabies by four months of age and maintain the animal’s current rabies vaccination status throughout the animal’s entire lifetime. The owner should retain the original copy of the rabies vaccination certificate, provided by the legally authorized vaccinator as evidence of the animal’s current vaccination status.

There are no legal waivers or exemptions; rabies vaccinations are required by law for domestic dogs, cats, and ferrets in North Carolina.

2. Canine Distemper Vaccination

Canine Distemper Virus is serious, with a death rate of nearly fifty percent in untreated dogs. The virus attacks the respiratory, digestive, and brain/nervous systems of dogs.

3. Bordetella Vaccination

The Bordetella vaccine is a noncore vaccine given to dogs that are frequently exposed to other dogs in boarding or social settings. Canine facilities, such as dog daycare centers, boarding kennels, shows, dog parks, and training classes are require to have the vaccine. This is because Bordetella bronchiectasis is the most common bacterial agent responsible for kennel cough in dogs.

Thank you in advance,
Connie

Willow came to join our team this morning and received her first “big girl” haircut. She was such an angel and we credit that to a few “puppy cuts” prior to today’s visit. As groomers, we always stress the importance of starting your new babies off with a few puppy cuts so they get use to the grooming process. Ms Willow here is to many more.
