A cheerful, bright reception area, with a comfortable waiting area welcomes you to The Doggie Salon. Even though there is rarely a wait for pet's pickup, tea and hot chocolate are always available. Our facility is set up to allow very large or mature dogs that would have a problem getting into or standing in the bathing tub, to be bathed in our new floor tub. And, our grooming areas are open to natural sunlight via glass partitions but are still separated enough so that each dog can have its own personal interaction with his or her groomer and not be distracted by other dogs that may be in our facility at the same time.

George Ramell graduated from the Rochester Institute of Dog Grooming School in Henrietta. After graduation he worked side by side with his daughter Nicole, who started the Doggie Salon at 1906 Penfield Road in 1999, until she decided to start growing her family.

In 2007, shortly after George took ownership of the business, The Doggie Salon was moved from Penfield Road to its current location at 2115 Five Mile Line Road and has expanded to include additional groomers. George also has a second business sharpening and repairing clippers, clipper blades, dryers and scissors for other groomers and beauticians, and barbers.

Penfield Business Association Float Wins First Place

4th of July Float4th of July Float

The Penfield Business Association won the blue ribbon for “Most Patriotic” float in the Penfield Independence Day Parade. This is the second year in a row we have taken home the top prize.

PBA board members Chris Herlong and Lynne Crawford spearheaded the design and construction of the float. Using PVC piping, chicken wire, monster mud, paper, paint, grapevine and some wooden supports, volunteers created a large American eagle with eaglets in a nest. Red, white and blue flowers surrounded the platform. PBA members and their families walked with the float to hand out 3000 American flags to the crowd. THANK YOU to all of our members who participated in the construction of the float, provided materials, and walked in the parade.  This would not have been possible without your help!

THANK YOU to our float sponsors: Atria Senior Living Group, Family First Federal Credit Union, Nothnagle Realtors, and Penfield Fitness & Racquet Club.
