Fallbrook's Paradise Pet Spa has perfected pet pampering

For individuals whose pets are part of their family, making sure their animals are healthy and happy is a top priority. With this in mind, many of Fallbrook's animal lovers are proud to take their furry friends for animal grooming services at Fallbrook's Paradise Pet Spa.

With four grooming tables and four standing tubs, the pet spa has everything needed in order to make every cat and dog look their best. While the soaps and shampoos are all-natural and hypoallergenic, that is just one reason that Fallbrook residents return their pets to the spa.

Since 2006, Fallbrook's Paradise Pet Spa has offered high-quality services to their customers. With a decade of service, spa owners Krystal White and Mindy Deremo and their team have honed their skills to make sure their services are top quality.

"People like the way we are with their pets," said White. "We do a good job, and all of the customers are excited to see their pets transformed."

It's not surprising to hear owners excitedly greet their transformed pets, who have a freshly trimmed coat. Pet baths, trimmings, and nail clippings are a part of the process for cats and dogs both young and old. Even nervous or more energetic animals are carefully groomed and cared for.

"It's nice that we have four groomers at our shop," said White. "If a dog is stressed, one of us can hold and comfort the dog while it is clipped and trimmed. We help each other out."

In addition to caring for the animals' aesthetic needs, the groomers are experienced enough to know when there are any veterinary concerns that should be addressed.

"If we see a sore spot or skin issues, we let the owners know what concerns might arise," said White. "We work with the customers to make sure they get what they want. We are flexible with what owners want for their pets, if that means a flea bath or medicated shampoos. We have deshedding systems to help in the summer, and can trim and shave pets for the summer."

Jennifer Quintero and Darla Kedroff, employees of the pet spa, make sure that customers know that the spa prides itself on small-town values. If the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary needs assistance with animal grooming, the staff at Paradise Pet Spa is willing to serve.

"We have had the same groomers for years," said White. "Those groomers have worked with the same clients for years. Some of us have seen the same dog once a month for years until they pass."

While the Paradise Pet Spa staff is perpetually working with cats and dogs, the work is no walk in the park.

"Our work is hard," said White. "It's messy work, and they fight us. We are using scissors on a moving, living animal. However, it's very rewarding. Plus, dogs know they have been groomed and feel better. They get a lot more attention from their owners and others, so they get excited."

At the end of the session, almost all pets know that they will be greeted by their owners' smiling faces and a treat from their groomer.

In the future, customers of Paradise Pet Spa can look forward to a kennel remodel and the addition of a self-service area.

As pet lovers and owners themselves, each employee at Fallbrook's Paradise Pet Spa is proud of the work that is performed.

Fallbrook's Paradise Pet Spa is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located at 218 W. Fig Street. For more information, call (760) 723-2273, or find them on Facebook.
