At Top Dog, we're more than just a grooming facility; we're a family of passionate animal lovers dedicated to providing the best care for your furry friends. Our journey began with a simple love for dogs and a desire to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can thrive.
Our Story
Seven years ago, life was a whirlwind. As a divorced mother of four, I faced the challenges of balancing single parenthood with my dreams and passions. Amidst the hustle, I found solace and joy in my love for animals. Pets have always held a special place in my heart—they’re family, loyal companions, and sources of unconditional love.
Driven by this passion, I decided to turn my love for animals into a profession. I invested time and effort into learning the art of dog grooming, determined to provide not just grooming services, but a caring and comforting experience for every pet that walked through my doors.
Starting out, it was just me and a dream—to create a space where pets could feel safe, loved, and beautifully cared for.
Over the past 8 years, Top Dog Grooming / Friendswood Pet Spa has grown into a community staple. Every pet that comes in is treated like family, and their owners become part of our extended family too. What motivates me daily is seeing the happiness in the dogs’ faces and wagging tails after a fresh bath and groom, and knowing I’ve made a difference in their lives—and their owners’ days.
Our motto, "Loving what I do, one dog at a time," perfectly captures my dedication. It’s more than just words; it’s the heart of everything we do at our shop. Our logo reflects that same commitment—to approach each pet with love, care, and attention, making sure they leave happy, content, comfortable, and looking their best.
My journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and the transformative power of doing what I love. I built this business not just to serve pets, but to inspire others to pursue their dreams, no matter the obstacles. At Top Dog Grooming / Friendswood Pet Spa, every pet leaves feeling loved and cherished—and that’s what keeps me going.
