Grooming Conventions We take pride in our careers. It is mandatory for all of our groomers to attend conventions at least one a year. We usually provide dogs for the one here in town. Your pet may be a candidate for the next one. |

The history of our salon
Hello,
I am Cheryl Wyrick, the owner and manager of Pampered Paws
Grooming Inc. In my youth I wanted to be a veterinarian, as many
children do, unfortunately, that didn't happen. I worked at an
animal hospital at the age of sixteen. Even then I felt a strong
desire to care for pets.
As an adult, I worked at the Humane Society of Greater KC with
the neglected and homeless pets. After seven years there, I
needed to get away from the abuse. I wanted to care for healthy,
pampered pets.
In 1989, I became a dog and cat groomer with a Vet here in
Waldo. In 1998 our grooming staff was getting large enough to
branch off into my own business so "Pampered Paws Grooming"
was created. I named it after my old dog "PAWS" a hound mix that
I raised with my daughter.* See photo below.
In 2003 we moved into our space here. Going from 500 sq.ft. to
2200 sq.ft. was like heaven. Our business has changed
dramatically over the years. Clients use to have to schedule weeks
ahead in order to get an appt. Now, with a larger staff and more
space, often we can get you in the same day. We have a
wonderful loving, caring, patient team to care for your pets. We
take pride in our work and continue our education every year at
conventions.
As a team, Pam Carlson, ( a local groomer and a dear friend of
mine) and I teach cat grooming classes at seminars. Most
groomers are under trained in this area. Both of us have been
grooming cats our entire careers. We have lots of fun and enjoy
being able to educate other groomers.
I hope this helps you understand the history of our little business. It
continues to grow because of you, our wonderful clients. You give
us the honor of taking care of your cherished family pets.
