One year in the making - The start up story

April 30 2011
       A Canadian company based out of Laval, Quebec opened its doors back in April 2010. At a time of recession where business and employment was scarce, a posh Yorkshire named Kiko turned an inspirational feeling of passion into a dream come true.

Always sporting new fur trends and latest doggy styles, Kiko launched the beginning of LE SALON ET SPA POOCHIE GLAM, a paradise luxury for pooches. It’s an environment that truly differentiates itself from any other grooming salon in the world.

The idea behind Poochie Glam was to provide every pooch with the respect and wellbeing they deserved! Eager to do so, Kiko spent over a year of intense planning to ensure that no dog will ever have to endure a terrifying grooming experience again.

On a mission, Kiko went sniffing across the world looking for avant-garde ideas that would recognize a dog’s wellbeing and introduce “du savoir vivre” in the dog world. Returning to his home town with an overflowing mind filled with mesmerizing concepts along with a note book full of cool topics. Kiko knew then that if he were to start this dream business, there would be no holding back, no starting slow, no corner cutting, he knew that he would have to go big, standing tall, wearing his best bowtie and having a confident bark! Suggesting something spectacular, something GLAMOUROUS and NEW to the world…. The beginning of LE SALON AND SPA POOCHIE GLAM!

During the last year we are very proud to have brought our furry friends a full end to end service establishment with a clean and healthy environment for all Kiko’s friends. Equipped with safe and secure surroundings, ensuring the right supervision and guidance is present at all times, making your dogs safety our priority while still keeping it a fun paradise for everyone to socialize. Kiko wants to provide every pooch with a low stress and relaxing experience in an ambiance filled with cool styles and jazzy tunes. Also with a holistic cage-less grooming session in our exceptional sweet dream spa, using only reputable renowned fur cosmetic lines that are fully designed for a dogs well being, properly PH balanced specialized for dog fur and skin care.


There is no bone that Kiko didn't dig up to bring his friends the best poochie kingdom in town!


Lot’s has happened over the last year and we are glad we could share all of this excitement with you.                                                          
                                                                                              
Now let’s take a walk down memory lane.....

The Howl-o-een After Pawty!

November 14 2010


It was a grand night for all who joined us at Poochie Glam!
People and their Pooches turned up to nibble on canapés while watching dog models (and their human companions) strut down the runway wearing outfits by our very own Quebec designer Lucy Medeiros, owner and founder of Roxy and Lulu Vogue Pet Apparel. The fashion show presented the unveiling of her new fall and holiday collection, from Urban Street Wear to Coordinated Outfits and Flamboyant Pet Couture. True must haves for our furry friends!



 
The evening followed with a doggie costume contest, as dog's line up to show off their creativity and to battle a chance at winning a grand prize! There were dogs of all shapes and sizes dressed in the craziest of costumes! Some of the hottest costumes this season were batman and his partner in crime superman (cousins), a disco angel and our very own host Kiko dressed as Elvis! The most popular costumes were the Devil and the Witch outfits. People also dress their dogs in toutous and wigs, how funny is that!



Grand Prize

The Grand Prize was awarded to Milo a Yorkshire terrier dressed up in an impressive Doctor Mcdreamy Surgeon costume.


Runner-Up

Runner up was awarded to Joya a Bichon frisé dressed up as a beautiful Pirate perfectly accessorized!


Third Prize

Third Prize was awarded to Patti a Yorkshire Terrier dressed as a fabulous tamed Leopard!





The event also featured activities such as fundraising for Sophie's Dog Adoption, where people got the opportunity to meet new buddy's that were looking for new families. A portion of sales generated that evening were donated to this organization on behalf of Poochie Glam, to help fund and allow Sophie's Dog Adoption to provide the care and time required to rehabilitate homeless dogs while finding them loving eternal homes.


We were glad to see a large crowd of people enjoy themselves almost as much as their Pooches did! Everyone had the chance to socialise, do a little sniffing and shopping and enjoy a GLAM pawdicure and glitter sprinkle in our Sweet Dream Spa Room, and of course - show off their latest outfit.

After hours of dazzling dog mingling, guests left with an exclusive doggy bag filled with a sassy unisex dog fragrance blend made by SEXY BEAST and sold at Poochie Glam.

Congratulations to our winners and a big thank you to all who participated. We look forward to hosting this event again next year!


Happy Halloween from the Poochie Glam team!
