LoHi’s Sparkle Dog groom shop has relocated to 2525 15th St. and changed its name to
Vanity Fur LoHi.
The 1,500-square-foot shop is about four times the size of the old Sparkle Dog location, says Vanity Fur Owner Andrew Gillis. It’s the second location for Vanity Fur, which also has a shop at Leetsdale and Forest near Cherry Creek.
Vanity Fur is a full-service dog and cat grooming salon that uses high-quality shampoos, conditioners, supplies, tools and equipment. Services include hand washing, drying, brushing, full hygiene service and trimming as requested. The shop also offers the latest in shed-less treatment, commonly known as “The FURminator,” an all-natural process that helps limit shedding in pets with shedding problems and double coats.
“The LoHi clientele is younger,” Gillis says. “The Leetsdale location draws more retired people from Cherry Creek.”
Gillis, who is close to becoming a certified groomer, says he’s looking for locations to open up to four more shops.
The new shop has a retail component selling collars, leashes, clothes and treats. Gillis says he’s considering adding pet food to the retail mix.
