- Grooming -

• We Were Charter Members National Dog Groomers of America.

• We began grooming soon after purchasing our first poodle ("Gidget") when our children were toddlers. The litter owner of our first puppy was so rough with it that he made it bleed.  I decided that it was not right for someone to injure a pet during grooming and began to groom my puppy.  I bought books and grooming tools and gradually became proficient at the art of pet grooming.

• For three decades Charles and Nell Johnston have worked to advance their craft in pet grooming.  They also attended and graduated from the advanced curriculum at the New York School of Dog Grooming.  We also have extensive experience in show grooming and have at one time operated a grooming school certified by the state of North Carolina.

• When "Gidget" had her first litter of puppies we contacted the owner of the "father" of the litter because we wanted to make a family picture.  The father of the litter arrived at the family photo shot greatly in need of grooming.  After getting the owners permission the father of the litter was groomed.   When the owner returned to pick up the father of the litter he asked "...what have you done to my dog?".  He was very pleased with the grooming and asked why I did not groom pets for other people for a living.  That's how our entry into the world of pet grooming began.

• We are known for our quality work and making every dog look its best.  We use no tranquilizers

• Let us groom your pet.
