Meet Melissa and Pongo

The Spot is a one-on-one pet grooming salon embracing holistic practices. 

My mission is to help your pet gain confidence and be comfortable during their grooming sessions.

I am proud to have received my Master's in Holistic Pet Grooming where I studied animal communication, extensive skin and coat courses, behavior, canine science, and more. I am so excited to have created a space where your dog will always be put first. The more I groom dogs, the more I value the bond we can cultivate with animals if we give them the time and tools to bloom under our care. Thank you for trusting me with your pet and allowing me to give them the love and care they deserve during their grooming session. 

As pet professionals, it is our duty to educate, and be courteous and patient. We will always do our best to  interpret your wants and needs however, I will never sacrifice quality, love, and care. 

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason that may, in our interpretation, endanger the  health and soundness of the pet. 

Please remember, Grooming is an art and skill, not a factory-made item. We connect with a fellow being on a very deep level. We must never forget the feelings and fears of the four-legged souls we are caring for. 

Please take your pets' temperament, past trauma and emotional state into consideration when discussing the length and cost of the grooming and/or therapy process. 

Humane treatment, mutual respect, and continuous education on the latest research and methodology are the core of what sets us apart from the average pet care establishment. 

Pet wellness is: quality environment, quality products, and quality care, mind, body and spirit.
