After a bit of soul searching he enrolled at the highly accredited Petropolis Academy Of Grooming in Chesterfield, Missouri. After graduating from the grooming academy in February of 2012 he was hired to work in the Doggie Daycare deparment at Petropolis. It was during this time period that he gained valuble knowledge of the pet business and grew entrepreneurial spirit.

going to find. Hailing from St. Louis, Candace found her niche in grooming after leaving the childcare field to work with much furrier children :) . Candace attended the highly accredited Petropolis Academy of Grooming in 2006 and after graduation was hired as a Petropolis pet stylist on the spot! Candace continued to groom at Petropolis for the next 6 years delighting every one of her St. Louis clients including the one and only Albert Pujols! (formerly of the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals) Candace also got great experience working the kennel side of the business at Petropolis. During this time she spent many personal hours with rescue dogs going above and beyond to make their day a little brighter. Whether it's grooming dogs to professional show standards or making even the stinkiest dogs smell wonderful, Candace does it all and does it well! One of the top groomers from St. Louis is dropping her style right here in Southern Illinois!
