ROGERS - A mother and daughter duo has teamed together to open a dog grooming service in Rogers.
Rachel Ash and her daughter Madison Croft have opened Maddie Rae's Paw Spa at 47293 Riffle Road. The new home based business opened Nov. 7.
Both Ash and Croft have veterinary experience as they both worked at Sunny Ridge Veterinary Services - Ash for 13 years and Croft for about eight years.
"I'm not saying we're veterinarians by no means, but if the dog has any issues that would cause us concerns we would definitely know what to look for to bring it to people's attention. So I think that would definitely set us apart," Ash said.
The two of them decided based on their love of and experience with animals to open the business together. In addition to experience working with animals Croft also has business experience having previously operated her own business.
"This was always an old passion of mine and she wants to learn," Ash said.
Ash noted that this is something she and Croft figured they could offer people on the weekends and in the evenings because she realizes services during those hours are pretty important to people, since there isn't a lot open during evenings and weekends anymore.
Currently, the business hours are Fridays and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesdays from 5:30 to 9 p.m., with other evening appointments by request.
They currently provide baths, nail trimming, grooms, haircuts, nail painting, nail grinding, shedding treatments, flea treatments and baths.
They are not at the present time offering full grooming services for cats, only nail trims. They may consider adding grooming for cats at a later time.
