Melissa didn’t set out to build a brand — she just wanted better care for the dogs she groomed. Known for her quiet patience and intuitive approach, her referral-only grooming business became trusted by those who wanted more than a quick haircut. But even with that care, the products on the market made things harder: sticky finishes, harsh smells, ingredients that irritated her hands — and likely the dogs’ skin too. So we started asking: why isn’t anyone doing this better?

Melissa learned to groom in the 90s with a passion for giving her dogs the best care. 20 years later she'd start a mobile grooming business and become known for her gentle, thoughtful approach — the kind who wins over the dogs no one else can. Her son, Austin, spent years building brands and obsessing over the details that make something truly great. Together, they turned a legacy of love for animals into a modern care company. She brings the expertise. He brings the execution. Bloom Groom is where their worlds meet — built with heart, backed by science, and made to raise the standard of care for dogs everywhere.
