Our Business
How it all began…(the short story)
After working in an office environment for 15 years, I decided I needed to make a change. At the same time, I was enjoying working with dogs while volunteering at the SPCA in Largo. I thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a career doing something that I loved?” I decided to leave my job and go back to school - the Academy of Animal Arts - to become a pet hair stylist.
After successfully completing the course, my husband and I relocated to Bowling Green, Kentucky, where I started working as a groomer. In 2005 I opened my own grooming business. What would be the perfect name for my shop? All it took was a look at my sweet rottie’s face to know it would only be appropriate to name the shop after her - Magic’s Pet Salon!
In the end of 2011 it came time for us to move back home to Florida to be near family. We closed the shop in Kentucky and reopened Magic’s here in Largo, Florida. Unfortunately, Magic is no longer with us. We are now blessed with Casey, who comes to work everyday to greet visitors and make sure everything is running smoothly.
That’s the story so far. I look forward to spending many years here continuing my love of working with dogs!
