Your Personal Groomer Paws Fur Me Mobile Pet Salon was established based on the desire to produce quality, not quantity grooming. Dogs are creatures of habit and are best settled into a simple, regular routine. Mobile grooming offers a quiet, stress-free environment where your pet will receive one-on-one attention from the same stylist each visit. Bridget has always had a passion for animals and her variety of experiences reflect that passion. Grooming Experience Bridget was a bather at PetSmart for two years before she was sent to PetSmart’s grooming academy. There she learned, through her teacher, that grooming was not just about “giving a haircut.” There was an aspect of creativity to it, carving out a design in the ball of fluff sitting on the table. She also picked up her teacher’s love of breed styling and Poodle trimming. A few months after returning from grooming school Bridget found out about the great Hershey Grooming Expo in Hershey, PA. It was there that she learned that there was so much more to grooming than what she had learned in school - new techniques, new tools. She also discovered the fascinating world of mobile grooming. To continue learning, Bridget went to look for a groomer with either competition or show grooming experience. She found what she was looking for in a groom and kennel facility with a show breeder/handler. Bridget learned a lot about correct breed styling and was able to groom many breeds not commonly seen at typical groom shops. The idea of mobile grooming had stayed with her, sitting on the back burner until the next year at Hershey Expo. She knew, then, that she should at least give it a try. Deciding to go mobile was the best decision Bridget could have made regarding her grooming career and is happily grooming pets in the privacy and comfort of their own driveways.
