Lucky Dog Spa and Playcare, Marietta

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
We have over 24 years of grooming experience with 5 years in the Buckhead and East Cobb area. We can work with you to find a style that's perfect for your best friend.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
After working as manager of a large chain salon and working in two private salons, I realized there was a need for an all-natural alternative. I'm very sensitive to chemicals and so are many pets. We use all-natural shampoos, conditioners, colognes, cleaners and even laundry detergent. It matters.

What do you love most about your job?
The dogs of course! I meet many wonderful people too but I've always loved dogs. I've had a dog since I was a child. When I turned twenty I started volunteering at animal shelters and went to grooming school at 23. I couldn't ask for a career that's more fun or rewarding to me.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?
Probably that I found something that helped diagnose a health problem. Just recently, I told a parent that her dog wasn't acting like himself and to watch him. A few days later he was diagnosed with Addison's disease. One client took a video showing how happy her dog was when she said my name : )
