Lots of Love Pet Grooming

About 8 years ago, Ruthellen Viall bought Lots of Love Pet Grooming because the future of the food service company she worked for was questionable. Plus,  it was something she always wanted to do.  And it has paid off  well for Ruthellen. In 1995, Ruthellen left the food service business and began  working full time in her Endicott shop—doing what she loves.   "To take a dog that is a real mess when they come in and turn them around... It's just a lot of self satisfaction,"
 
It is a satisfaction she has enjoyed since the age of eight—when she began grooming and showing Bichon Frise dogs.

This year, Ruthellen stepped out of the dog show  spotlight.  She decided to make the, still in transition, relocation her shop a priority.  As the exclusive  owner & operator Ruthellen decided that focusing on her  move up the street was more important.   On April 1st, Ruthellen moved Lots of Love to 114 West Main Street from the former Nanticoke Avenue shop.

Was it a move for the better?      "Definitely.  It's twice the size. It's brighter, cleaner, newer."

And it is all those shop qualities that make the difference for the customer.  "This is the premier grooming shop in the area.  You won't find another grooming shop like this.  There is no government agency to regulate  grooming shops, so it is up to the owners to regulate themselves.  Most just don't set their standards high enough."

The benefits of bringing your dog or cat to Lots of Love Grooming Salon, are four fold:

1.   It's a clean facility.
2.   Ruthellen keeps consistent hours (Tue.-Sat. from 8:30 a.m. until last pick up, which is
      usually around  5 or 6 p.m.).
      It is run in a professional manner.   She doesn't just come in when she  wants.
3.   It is one of the largest as far as customers and grooming shop size goes. Ruthellen has
      over  1500 regular, area clients.
4.   Ruthellen puts her time and knowledge into it

Ruthellen's clients are not just the owners of show dogs.  She points out. "A lot of people have this misconception that I only groom show dogs and that's just not the case. I do all kinds of dogs."   In fact,  about 20 times a day she gives fresh looks to all types of dogs.
 
I will always do my best to fit in a grooming emergency but to insure that each pet receives the time necessary to make it look and feel its best, appointments should be made in advance.  I groom all kinds of pets - cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs  are also more than welcome at Lots of Love, which is just west of the newly constructed Eckerd on East Main Street, Endicott.

Parking is available in the rear of the building.
