Owner
Sandy LaDuke has over 35 years of business experience in Manatee county and the surrounding areas.   She was raised on Terra Ceia Island and graduated from Palmetto High School.   

She saw a need for a dog grooming shop in the Northwest area of Bradenton and along with a longtime family friend, Cathy Poynter, opened a convenient  location for local residents and their dogs, where they will receive a quality grooming experience.    

Groomer
Cathy Poynter has over 30 years grooming experience.   She was born and raised in Manatee County.  She is a graduate of Palmetto High School.  She has performed grooming services locally and also in Georgia.  She has also provided private grooming for AKC show dogs.   She has showed Salukis, Papillions and Afghan Hounds and finished a Champion Afghan Hound as well. 

Our groomer is very gentle and caring with each and every dog, taking into special consideration their specific needs and conditions.   Because of this, we are able to handle and rehabilitate dogs with behavior problems that may have developed from having a bad grooming experience elsewhere.   She is very knowledgeable in recognized breed styles, but will style and groom to your specific request, even if your request includes giving your dog a mohawk.
