Tiffany graduated from the University of Georgia in 2001 with a degree in Animal Science. Knowing she wanted to work in animal health/welfare from an early age, Tiffany spent her teenage and early adulthood years working in many animal related fields. Her most recent before pet grooming was with Merial, where she began as a animal tech and then moved into the lab where she did immunology assay development and other biological lab work.

In 2007 she realized that what her heart really wanted was to work with pets and their owners, so she took all of her previous experience with recordkeeping, management, animal handling, science, and love for animals and enrolled in the Atlanta Academy of Pet Design to learn the art of dog grooming. The idea of doing mobile grooming came about when she realized that if she did salon work she wouldn't typically get to talk to the owners. Oftentimes, this is done by a receptionist. The excitement and encouragement of a fellow student (Robyn! She has a mobile service for the Huntsville, Alabama area now) further solidified the idea in Tiffany's mind that an independent, face-to-face operation is what she wanted. Thank you Robyn and Erin!

Tiffany has a wide variety of animals under her care. These include A coonhound named Banjo, a rottie mix named Nellie, Three pet hens (May, Violet, and Rose), a rooster (Carrot Top), a miniature donkey named Izzy, and a fish tank with lots of fish. In the past she has been exposed to extensive work with birds, reptiles, and ferrets! When she isn't grooming you can usually find her running with friends or a dog, riding a horse, playing with the donkey, knitting, gardening, or reading. She loves sushi, broccoli, dark chocolate, and ice cream and wonders ow the world would ever do without any of them! One day she hopes to be a bee keeper in her spare time b/c she's obsessed with honey and finds hives 'absolutely fascinating.' Tiffany is terrified of hornets and wasps...go figure.

Here are a few quotes from Tiffany about Dog Grooming:

"I think my favorite thing to see in grooming is to take a double coated breed (like a sheltie) that hasn't been groomed in a while and get rid of all that extra undercoat to make their coat really flow and shine."

"One thing I think a lot of people do not realize is that overlong nails on a dog disrupt the alignment of the toes-it's GOTTA be uncomfortable! I love getting long nails trimmed down on a dog. You know it has to be like sliding your feet into your favorite slippers after a day in heels."

"I love hydraulic tables!!"
