We were inspired to create The Mutt Puddle out of the love for our dogs and the complete dislike of bathing them in our homes. Let's face it - washing the dog isn't fun.
Just a few of the things we all like "BEST" about bathing our dogs at home:
- The initial negotiation with Fido - let us rephrase that - "fight" - to get into the tub. Trying to hold Fido with one hand, turn on the water, handle the shampoo....
- The shake - you see it coming, and your turn your head as water, shampoo and conditioner goes flying all over you - and the walls! Repeat. Repeat.
- The ache - It's hard on your back, your hands, your knees, not to mention your patience, temper and overall ability to maintain your cool!
- And, of course, the clean up! Three towels, four wet walls, a messy tub, the bathroom floor, and another load of laundry!
After realizing what a valuable and convenient service could be provided, we thought a little deeper about our philosophy regarding animals, business, and people:
- We are passionate about the humane treatment of animals, both physically, nutritionally, and emotionally. Our environment is not only about fun, but about safety for the pets and the people who grace our establishment daily.
- Our products are safe, all natural, and healthy, and our goal is to provide only the best for the pets in our community.
- Our ways are still the best – we don’t use hydro-surge bathing systems or the like -- we do it the old fashioned way which (like many things) is still the best way! Every dog gets a thorough bath – and the best way to do that is still by hand with an all over massage that is not only going to get them clean but it’s going to feel good and help them relax! If you had a bath only once a month, would you really want to sit in a hot tub and let it do the work? We think not!
- Our customer service is, paws down, the very best in town. Friendly, fast, efficient, and knowledgeable - if we can't answer your question ourselves, we'll find you an answer!
- And our Groomers? Wow! They are all highly experienced, career groomers who bring a whole lot of love and expertise to the table. We know you’ll agree … the Mutt Puddle team is truly outstanding.
And what's the point of going into business if you can't become an integral part of the community!? We strive to support our local community by:
- Being a great business partner to other local establishments, helping and supporting them in any way we can.
- Being involved in the community and working with groups that support animal welfare and rescue.
- We hire employees that share our love of animals and our commitment to customer service. We make sure they are well trained and understand the importance of building relationships, cleanliness, and safety - every minute of every day!
