She is so wonderfully. What is great about Kare is that she loves animals. My previous dog hated being groomed but with Kare it loved being groomed.  My new dog was always very timid but now he loves going to Kare. She is very talented in grooming the animals. When I first adopted my dog he was very scruffy and she washed him and advised me that she did not cut his hair because his type of mixed breed does not require it. She is a very kind and caring person.

I first met Karen Tipich-Bleiman when I owned my late dog, Kermit, and I knew I had a winner when we entered her grooming parlor. He went from being a dog that dreaded grooming to one who ran eagerly into her establishment. During his later years, when Kermit was suffering from glaucoma, Karen was very kind, sharing her knowledge of his condition that she had picked up when working summers for her uncle, an animal opthomologist. When Kermit lost his eye, Karen showed me how she could cut his fur so the disability would not be as noticeable. And she grieved with me when Kermit finally died. Of course, I returned to her when I adopted my next dog. Although I asked Karen to cut Smokey's hair as it had been when I adopted him, she told me it would look better and be more comfortable for the dog if his fur was left to grow naturally. This advice cost her what would have been a higher fee, but proved to be absolutely correct, as I receive many compliments on Smokey's appearance. I have referred many people to Karen, and every one of them has been satisfied with her work, her fees, and her responsiveness to the animals.
