Hi Crüe!
For those that don’t me my name is Annie Cole and I’m the owner/operator and lead groomer at Muttley Crüe Organics. I have been an animal lover (okay, nutbar!) since before I can even remember. I grew up in a small farming community in Southern Manitoba with cats, birds, lizards and a horse and was raised by parents who loved and respected animals as much as I do… this love of all things nature is definitely home grown! I always knew I would spend my life working with animals and in 2000 I was lucky enough to land a part-time job bathing dogs at a local salon. Within two weeks I had quit my full-time job and knew this was where I belonged!
After working for in the industry for 9 years in both private and corporate salons I knew that things had to be done differently; differently in how dogs were handled and cared for, how staff were treated and how our industry impacted this beautiful planet so in 2009, Muttley Crüe Organics opened its doors for the first time! We started out as a little, open concept/kennel free and organic grooming salon in the heart of Bridgeland. Within the first year we had won numerous Community Choice Awards for Best Pet Grooming and by 2013 we achieved the Chamber Of Commerce Small Business Week Award for Environmental Stewardship becoming the first sustainable, eco-friendly business of our kind in North America and by 2015 The Community Economy Leader Award for our commitment to our staff and support of other local businesses!
In 2005 I met the love of my life and soulmate; her name was Jasmine and after adopting her I’m sure she thought I saved her life but it was my life she changed forever! Over my years with her and being in the industry I got to experience first hand how other businesses operated and what the standard of care was for not just grooming but for daycare and boarding, as well. I struggled finding a place that I trusted to leave her knowing all too well that what was advertised and on the surface was not even close to what happened behind closed doors so I thought…. what if there was a place were there were no closed doors?? So… Muttley Crue Organics part deux happened!
On July 5th, 2015 I moved my tiny little piece of dog heaven in Bridgeland into a beautiful new facility where we could offer daycare and boarding services that I would trust for my own dogs while still maintaining our commitment to the environment and our staff!
We offer the highest staff to dog ratio in the city (by a long shot!), a safe and well screened open concept play area separated by size for everyone’s safety, a fully turfed and fenced in yard space, free daily walks for all our boarding clients to calm and centre tired or over-stimulated energy, individual breaks and specified care, a positive only and hands-free approach to corrections with regular seminars and staff training, 24/7 staffing (yes, there’s someone here all night, every night!) but most importantly… web cameras that never turn off! Everything we advertise, the use of the term transparency and our commitment to being the best in the city means nothing to our customers if we can’t hold ourselves accountable for everything we claim. This means you will never have to just take our word for it… you can go online 24/7 and watch without worry how your best friends and family members are being treated; treated like I would expect my own dogs and best friends to be treated!
I created this business out of my love of all things dog and feel beyond blessed to not only be living my dreams everyday, but lucky enough to be surrounding by the most incredible staff and clients who not only share that dream with me but who are the reason that dream got the chance to become a reality!
