Fozzys preferred seating while he waits for his ride home. (Mostly because he can see out the window 😆)

This Sunday we had Kelli Gilliss into the salon to teach us and 15 other local groomers about compassionate handling for pets.

Your dogs comfort is always our main priority in the salon! We were grateful to have Kelli come in and teach us a few things. She is a wealth of information.

We try to host educational events at least once a month for our staff and other groomers who take pride in advancing their skills and knowledge. Looking forward to the next one!
