Our Story
Hi! I’m Krista, and as far back as I can remember, I have fallen in love with every animal I laid my eyes on! I grew up on a Morgan horse farm in Upstate New York. My Mom was a home-based dog groomer, and I spent countless hours as a child in the grooming shop watching her work, and helping when I got old enough.
Eventually, my childhood obsession with animals turned into a lifetime career in the pet care industry. My first “real job” out of high school was as a groomer in a neighborhood grooming shop. I have been grooming ever since. I now have more than 25 years experience grooming professionally.
I have worked in alongside dog show judges, animal behaviorists, veterinarians, pet nutritionists, and master groomers, soaking up all the knowledge I could. I have recently retired from full-time grooming after 6 years as the sole groomer employed in a veterinary hospital in Southwest Florida. Working at the veterinary hospital expanded my knowledge base and taught me so much about taking a holistic approach to pet care.
God has truly blessed me with a career that I love and enjoy. I want to share my knowledge of holistic pet care with pet parents like YOU! I want to give you the tools you need to save money veterinary bills, strengthen your bond with your pet, and improve your pet’s overall health and well being. I could seriously look at, and talk about, dogs and cats until I’m blue in the face (and most days, I do just that!). So, that is how the idea for this blog came to be. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it. I look forward to your comments and questions!
