About Opal Ridge: A Passionate Journey in Pet Care

Welcome to Opal Ridge, where Victor and I embarked on a journey over 25 years ago to create more than just a pet care service—we envisioned a haven for animals, a family of pet lovers, and a place where tails wag with joy. Opal Ridge is not just a grooming and breeding facility; it's a heartfelt passion that has grown into a warm, loving community.

Our Vision

When Victor and I opened Opal Ridge, our dream was clear—we aimed not only to be the best at what we do but to be the best for your beloved companions. We envisioned a space that radiates love, where every dog feels cherished, and every pet owner feels known and understood. Opal Ridge is more than a business; it's a family, a place where every member, furry or not, is taken care of.

Grooming: "EVERY DOG DESERVES A DAY!"

At Opal Ridge, we celebrate the uniqueness of every dog. We understand that each furry friend requires personalized care. That's why we tailor each treatment to their specific needs, carefully choosing the perfect combination of shampoos, conditioners, and grooming techniques. We go the extra mile for special needs dogs, including the elderly, ensuring they receive the attention and comfort they deserve during the grooming process.

With over two decades of experience in breeding and grooming, we bring not just skill and knowledge but a genuine love for our work. Opal Ridge is more than a job; it's a calling, a privilege to work intimately with animals. What sets us apart is that everything we do comes from the heart. Opal Ridge is not just a place; it's our passion, a commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of every dog that crosses our threshold.

Our Mission: Kind. Safe. Professional.

Our mission at Opal Ridge is simple yet profound: to provide kind, safe, and professional care to the animals entrusted to us. We treat every pet as if they were our own, with their best interests at heart. We understand that the trust of pet owners is sacred, and we strive to honor that trust in every aspect of our work.

We are committed to making the grooming experience a pleasant one for both pets and their owners. Our goal is simple—to see every dog happy when it comes in the door and every owner happy when they leave. Opal Ridge is more than a grooming and breeding establishment; it's a sanctuary where love and care converge to create a harmonious haven for pets and their devoted owners.

Thank you for being part of the Opal Ridge family—a place where tails wag, hearts warm, and every dog truly deserves their day!
