Lucky is only 14 weeks old and already a grooming superstar! 🐶🛁✨

He had his very first puppy groom with Lesly, our groomer, and he was sooo good for the entire appointment! From relaxing in the tub to posing for his after photo, Lucky handled his spa day like a champ! 💙

Swipe to see his before, bath time, and fresh groomed look — we are officially obsessed with this sweet boy. 🐾

We can’t wait to watch Lucky grow up with us!

March is Groomer Appreciation Month, and we couldn’t let it go by without celebrating our incredible groomer, Lesly!

Lesly truly has a gift. Her talent, patience, and love for every pet that comes through her door does not go unnoticed. She makes each pet look and feel their best, and treats them like her own while they’re in her care.

We are so lucky to have her on our team, and we appreciate everything she does for our patients and their families. 💛
