How did your business come to be?: After 9 years of working in other grooming shops Amanda Childers decided it was time to branch off and do grooming her way.

With an artist's mind, Amanda has a talent for giving dogs and cats the most adorable haircuts. It was important that this business reflect Amanda's priorities which are top quality grooming service, customer relationships built on trust and most importantly safe and respectful handling of animals. Being a strong animal advocate, Amanda hopes this business will allow her more ability to network for animals in need of loving homes and families.

What's a fact about your business that most customers probably don't know?: Most people are surprised to know that we also groom cats. Not only do we love cats we have over 9 years experience grooming them as well as a lifetime of cat companions.

Knowing how to make a cats grooming experience less stressful is important to us.

What services does your business provide? We offer full service grooming for cats and dogs. Which includes such services as: Spa grooming by appointment. Walk-in nail trims. Breed specific haircuts and styling. Cat grooming. Skunk baths. Flea treatments.

We also now offer Dog Walking and Pet sitting service. We also have a Boutique area with lots of unique and specialty pet products.

What do you want your business to be best known for?: We want people to know that all groomers are not created equal. In a generally unregulated industry it is of utmost importance that you know the person grooming your pet is experienced and compassionate. Our staff is so passionate about pet grooming that it saddens us to hear of bad experiences with groomers. Customers notice a difference in their pets attitude on a return visit to our salon, they are no longer cowering as they enter the door.

We feel that grooming is a necessary part of a pets life and should not be a miserable experience but enjoyable and comfortable. We call ourselves a "cage free" facility meaning those dogs who are content to are allowed to walk freely around the salon and are not confined to cages.

What's your most popular product or service?: Our most popular service right now is our Full Spa Grooming. This transformative grooming experience will take your pet from feeling drab to fab. A complete grooming service includes: a nail trim and buff, ear cleaning, bath brush & blow dry, desired haircut and a decorative bow or scarf.

Our talented groomers know how to bring out the natural beauty in your pet. The dogs love to prance out of the salon clean and happy, ready to soak up the attention of their adoring fans.
