About Us
ItzaClip! Doggy Day Spa started out in 2002 as a way to support my "dog training habit", as at the time I was taking a lot of seminars and helping out Fionavar k-9 training with teaching classes in obedience and agility.
I started working at Pampered Pets, and apprenticed with Pat Berlett and realized that I enjoyed the chance to work with the dogs one on one and show my artistic style.
In 2003 I opened my own shop and now we proudly service dogs from surrounding Olds area and as far away as Calgary, Drumheller , B.C and Fort Saskatchewan.
Many of my family members are involved in beauty and have artistic talent(my sister owns a salon(Jessica Nicole the Studio) in B.C and I think this bleeds over into my grooming as well.
My background in horse training and then earning certificates in handling reactive dogs has enabled me to rehabilitate many nervous or scared dogs that have had bad previous experiences with other groomers.

Keido
My life involves my dogs, I rescued a Rottweiler/Lab/Husky mix (labweiler?? Rottidor??) in 2000 after hearing about how he had been severely beaten and mistreated for his first year of life. Even though he is a big suck and very needy, I love him to pieces!
Keido passed away at age of 12.5 on may 1st, 2012.

Vogue was born April 18th, 2013. she is from Seransil Standard poodles. I am fully enjoying her personality and coat! we currently do agility every week at Fionavar K-9 training.
sadly Vogue passed away April 21,2022 My male poodle is also from Seransil standard poodles. Cypher was born March 8, 2015. He is a silver standard poodle Hopefully I will get another white girl feb 2023... I take great pride in being known for doing artistic and flattering styles while approaching the dogs differently than most groomers do. This has caused me to be very particular about whom I hire, and how my clients are handled(learn whats involved in each groom). All employees undergo training by me personally and I place the safety and experience of the client above all else. |
Our company is based on the belief that our customer's needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, 95% of our business is from repeat customers and referrals.
