Pooch Parlor was founded in July 2003 here in Fort Wayne. Â 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. Â She sought a different atmosphere where the salon was always clean and the dogs were happy to come in and be groomed. Â 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. Â Based on that philosophy, Pooch Parlor soon grew and Vickie now has three 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. Â 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. Â Clients constantly comment on the cleanliness and pleasant fragrance of the salon as well as the quality of the pets being groomed there. Â Pooch Parlor is dedicated to three very important elements for success: Â 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". Â We believe scheduling should be done to accommodate the pet and his/her owner, not at the convenience of the groomer.
