Pet care experience

Dog Mom/Retired Vet Tech & Groomer

Hi there! My name is Vickie and I have over 40 years in the Pet Industry. My pet career started in the pet department at Walmart (when they still had live pets). I have an Animal Science degree and was a Vet Tech for 9 years. I have experience as a vet clinic and boarding manager . I learned to groom through donating my time to grooming dogs in local rescue organizations. I soon realized that my passion was grooming and retired from the Veterinary field. I own a successful grooming business of 11 years and a dog collar and harness company. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my 11 year old daughter, cooking for my family and my own pups and showing my poodles in confirmation, lure coursing and rally obedience.
