What do you do when you used to live on an Ontario farm surrounded by animals and find yourself stuck in an office job in Vancouver? You open Spa Dog! I met Hilary this morning, she's been open for 6 days now and she was very excited to show off her new shop. She sourced a lot of pieces for her decor from thrift stores and admitted she got addicted to it and had a lot of fun putting everything together! She was happy to tell me all about her organic doggy grooming services and pet care products even after I told her I didn't own a dog.
No fear. There are gazillion dog owners in the neighborhood and the proximity to Trout Lake makes this little shop a nice addition to the neighborhood. Fancy giving a trim and a blow-out to your pooch after a nice roll in the mud? Stop on by.
I have to admit I was a bit sad when I saw that the new business was going to be dog spa and not a sushi restaurant, especially when there is a cat hotel on the same block... but Hilary made a really good impression on me. She really cares about the impact of her business on animals and on nature. Wishing you a warm welcome and many shampoos to come!
