Our Approach to Dog Grooming

Tamed Manes began in 2021 with the intention of servicing dogs who may have had unpleasant experiences with a salon environment by bringing the spa experience to your home.

Because your home is familiar to your pet, they don’t have to be locked up in a cage for hours before getting groomed, and there aren’t any other dogs barking causing more stress and anxiety, your pet may feel more comfortable and relaxed, making the process much smoother. The added bonus for you as the pet owner is that you are able to interact on a more personal level with your dog’s groomer and can rest assured your precious pup is getting the best treatment.

Holistic Pet Care

As well as grooming, we also offer holistic services such as Reiki energy healing and skin therapies for dogs with problem skin and coat due to allergies or other underlying conditions. We pride ourselves on being a holistic spa service taking into account every aspect of your dog from the inside out. Request an appointment today and experience the difference for yourself!

Meet the Owner

My story begins back during my childhood. I was always fascinated with animals, and especially obsessed with dogs. At first, I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian, but life had a different plan for me. Fast forward to 2017 when I first started my grooming career as a bather at PetSmart. Shortly after learning how to groom through PetSmart’s grooming academy, my desire to learn more led me to work for different private salons where I learned a vast array of techniques and skills from other groomers. Through my experiences working in different salons, I decided I wanted to do more for these wonderful animals who deserve nothing but the best. That’s when I ventured off into alternative care such as pet Reiki and skin and coat therapies. To me, grooming is more than just a haircut. Grooming a dog requires an understanding of the dog as a whole from the inside out. This involves studying their anatomy and movement, understanding their behavior and psychology, and communicating through energy and body language in order to develop a safe, respectful relationship between the dog and the groomer.

Every groomer’s philosophy is to “do no harm.” I’ve extended this philosophy beyond grooming and have done my best to incorporate it into my own personal lifestyle. In 2016, I became vegan after opening my eyes to the horrors of the meat and dairy industry. While I was always compassionate and loving, my vegan lifestyle has opened my heart even further which has guided me to become more patient and understanding with my clients, both animal and human. We are all constantly evolving and my goal is to continue to evolve personally and professionally to better serve my wonderful clients!

Now that you know a little bit about me, I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
