Kira

Kira’s love of working with animals started early. At 15, she began volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center, an experience that sparked her interest in animal behavior and led her to pursue studies in zoology and animal behavioral sciences.

After completing a two year internship at the Buffalo Zoo, Kira’s path took a turn when she began volunteering at a local dog shelter. There, she discovered that working with dogs was where she truly belonged. She moved into professional dog training and boarding before ultimately finding her niche in grooming, bringing her background in animal behavior along with her.

For Kira, grooming is about much more than a haircut. Her background in animal behavior shapes the way she approaches every dog that comes into her care, with an emphasis on making each appointment as positive and low stress as possible. She especially loves working with big, fluffy dogs and the dramatic transformations that come from a really good de-shed.
