Let’s welcome another business entrepreneur to the Gautier area. Ciara Barthlett has opened her own pet grooming store, Ciara’s Pet Grooming located at 815 Hwy 90. Opening on December 6th, Barthlett states she chose Gautier and her location because it is easy for everyone to get to and she loves the community.

Barthlett chose pet grooming as her career because of an intense love for animals. This is her fifth year grooming and states, “It makes me feel good when the animals love coming to see me and seeing the before and after, making them look beautiful and well cared for.”
Some pet parents don’t realize just how important it is to have your pet groomed regularly. Barthlett does.
“It is very important for the pet just like humans to shower and brush,” she explains. “It conditions their skin and especially for longer hair animals, it prevents matting which can causes problem with circulation. Trimming the nails is also very important as it helps the animal walk easier and keeps the nails from growing into the paws.”
There are many services available at Ciara’s: hair cutting, nail trimming, baths, brushing, drying, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, anal glands, dying, and deshead treatments. All of her pet customers leave glowing and feeling better with added extras such as a bandana or bow. Her shop also has other pet care items for purchase and she hopes to grow her inventory.
Most pet parents leave their dogs and come back after the appointment; however, Barthlett says it is perfectly fine if you want to stay with your pet!
Appointments are preferred, but if you have a sudden issue, just give Barthlett a call and she will work with you to get your pet taken care of.
Barthlett feels and treats like every one of her pet customers like it’s her own! You can see many of my before and after works on their Facebook page.
Barthlett has started off on a great foot in the Gautier community, but her ultimate goal is to keep growing and adding to her business.
