Grand Opening of Pet Spa For Local Couple In Downtown Peterborough
/Local couple and co-owners Janeine Sali and Ryan Brown had their grand opening of Peterborough’s newest animal paradise, Roman & Co. Pet Spa on Tuesday.
The pet spa offers grooming (nail trimming, de-shedding, etc.), cleaning and bathing for dogs only. Cat services are available in the future at an undisclosed date according to the couple.
Roman and Co. highlighted the importance of supporting local as they collaborated with several small businesses.
They sell products from Pip & Penny Co., a small business that makes pet bandanas. Pip also sells bowties and scrunchies for dogs and quilts and catnip pouches for cats online.
The spa sells gourmet dog cookies from Douro-based business HappyNess Cookies.
Sali had the business idea during the height of the pandemic but put plans into motion roughly two months ago.
The new entrepreneur said she could have made a career in several different paths with her love of animals but decided a pet spa was the best option.
“I really love the satisfying feeling of making a dog look good but making them feel comfortable," said Sali. “You really get to know them as an individual when they keep coming back. They become like one of your own.”
