• Hi, my name is Christy Parker. I have been a professional groomer for over 28 years.
• I specialize in scissored breeds and always strive for quality, rather than quantity.
• I especially strive for a good rapport with my clients of the four-legged variety.
• I love to see my clients come in with tails wagging... dragging their owners into the salon. And my clients LOVE their day at the salon! Most of them know me by name, and are eager to get here!
• I work with all breeds of dogs, including mixed-breeds, and am knowledgeable in designing styles that suit each dog. (note: due to insurance regulations we cannot take chowchows or pittbull breeds)
• Be sure to view the "Pet Portrait" pages for more photos!

• Are you tired of assembly-line groomers?
• Tired of big department store salons where you never know who is going to be grooming your dog that day ~ and what is he going to look like this time??
• Tired of having to drag your dog into the groomer's salon?
• Do you ever wonder why your dog gets so stressed out and hates going to the groomers?
• Are you tired of having to leave your dog all day to get groomed?
• Ever wondered if all the dogs in the groomer's salon have had vaccines & if they are healthy or not?
• Ever wondered why your dog has skin or ear infections that you just can't seem to get rid of no matter how many rounds of medication you get from the vet?
• Is there something "not quite right" about your groomer's salon?
• Is your dog trying to tell you something??

Well, if any of the questions above have made you 'think twice' about where you are taking your dog now, come see what a difference a true love of dogs and 28+ yrs of experience can make. Sometimes people don't realize what a difference it can make because they've never tried anything different. Sometimes people think all dogs hate going to the groomer's. Or they think all dogs have chronic skin/ear problems. Well, that's just not the case.

I have a very good reputation with my clients and the difference is seen the FIRST time I groom a new dog. I have the experience and the 'eye' for quality work, but my prices are also very competitive and there are NEVER any 'surprise' charges. Most prices are posted here on my site, just click on the "My Service & Prices" link above or below. I generally do NOT keep dogs all day (although in the case of larger breeds such as Standard Poodles the day does sometimes span longer due to the amount of hands-on time required). I try to always do my best work, and do not take 'the easy way out' by simply shaving all dogs down to the skin. I strive to do the haircut that you want, provided it's possible with the coat I have to work with. I disinfect my equipment before starting on each dog so that no skin/ear infection is spread from dog to dog (I've never worked in someone else's shop where this is done religiously and I can't believe some places are still in business!!) Your dog should NOT be fighting skin/ear infections constantly... they are being re-infected by the groomer's equipment.

So give me a call and let me show you what a difference a love of dogs, 28 yrs experience, talent and knowledge can make. I know you'll be happy with the decision to give it a try. MOST people come to pick up their dog the first time and say

"MY DOG HAS NEVER LOOKED THIS GOOD!!!"
