About Soul Dog Wellness
We honor the profound bond between dogs and their families by providing compassionate grooming and soulful end-of-life support that nurture both your beloved dog and your family.
Our Mission & Core Values
Soul Dog Wellness was born from a profound love for dogs and a commitment to supporting their families. We believe in an integrative approach, blending practical care with heartfelt guidance so that every chapter of your journey together is met with comfort, dignity, and love.
Connection First
Every relationship begins with presence, listening, and trust. We take the time to understand your dog, your family, and the bond you share before any care begins.
Compassion Without Hurry
Time is treated as sacred here. We slow down, move with intention, and meet each dog and family at the pace they need, never rushing moments that deserve care.
Whole-Life Care
We honor every stage of your dog's journey. From everyday grooming to wellness support, aging, and end-of-life care, each season is approached with intention and love.
Gentle, Intentional Touch
Hands-on care is both skilled and calm. We consider physical comfort, emotional safety, and energetic well-being in every interaction.
Clarity With Compassion
We believe understanding brings peace. We offer honest, gentle guidance so families can make informed decisions without fear, pressure, or overwhelm.
Partnership Through Love, Loss & the Leash
Care is collaborative. We walk alongside dogs, families, and veterinary teams with respect, honoring the bond at both ends of the leash through joy, transition, and goodbye.
About Nikki
After nearly 30 years in the pet industry, Nikki created Soul Dog Wellness from both lived experience and professional training.
Certified as an Animal End-of-Life Doula and in Pet Loss Support, she brings hospice and palliative care guidance, grief support training, and holistic wellness practices to help families move through this sacred season with presence and peace.
With years of hands-on experience in professional dog grooming and animal care, Nikki saw a gap that families quietly carried. They often had clinical answers, but not enough emotional support, preparation, or gentle guidance for what came next. Soul Dog Wellness is her way of meeting that need with calm care, compassionate clarity, and deep respect for the bond between dogs and the people who love them.
Our Story
Soul Dog Wellness was born from a profound love for dogs and a deep commitment to supporting their families through all of life's chapters. We understand that the relationship between humans and their canine companions is sacred, built on unconditional love, trust, and countless shared moments.
Through personal experiences navigating the challenges of senior pet care and end-of-life decisions, we recognized a critical need: families deserved more than just clinical services. They needed compassionate guidance, emotional support, and someone who truly understood the weight of the decisions they were facing.
Today, Soul Dog Wellness brings together professional expertise and heartfelt compassion to serve families during some of their most vulnerable moments. We're honored to be trusted with such precious responsibilities and remain committed to treating every dog and every family with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve.
