About Us
Pooch Parlor was founded in July 2003 here in Fort Wayne.  Owner, Vickie Bailey-Moon, having completed her certification as a pet stylist, worked at a couple of local grooming salons but was not happy with her working conditions.  She sought a different atmosphere where the salon was always clean and the dogs were happy to come in and be groomed.  She started her own salon in a small rental space only 600 feet square. Vickie became a groomer because of a dog she adopted from an animal shelter and believes that if a dog is treated with kindness he will welcome coming back to the salon to be pampered and groomed by a friend.  Based on that philosophy, Pooch Parlor soon grew and Vickie now has additional pet stylists grooming along side her in the new building that has an addition – a pet boutique up

front to further pamper pets and those who love them.  The new salon not only has the pet boutique, but boasts a much larger grooming area as well as a separate bathing room and drying room – all with glass windows so pets are always supervised to ensure their safety and comfort.  Clients constantly comment on the cleanliness and pleasant fragrance of the salon as well as the quality of the pets being groomed there.  Pooch Parlor is dedicated to three very important elements for success:  Gentler, more loving treatment of pets entrusted to our care; never compromised grooming excellence; and a fair pricing policy.

Unlike a lot of shops, we schedule appointments throughout the day, so your pet does not have to sit in a cage and wait for the groomer to "get to it".  We believe scheduling should be done to accomodate the pet and his/her owner, not at the convenience of the groomer.
