Coco's Quirks

A Few Things Coco Is Known For

The Pick-Up Bark

When a client arrives to pick up their dog, Coco knows exactly which dog is going home. She runs over to that dog and barks to let them know their ride is here.

Tooth-Brushing Time

Every now and then, Coco grabs her own toothbrush and brushes her teeth.

Toys Everywhere

Coco always leaves her toys all over the place. Consider it part of the palace décor.

Meet Bella

The Quiet Royal

Bella is a 14-year-old Chihuahua and the crowned pup in our logo. She is rarely seen and almost never heard, spending her workday snug in her bag at the grooming station. She only makes an appearance when dinner time is near or nature calls.
