2015

Hundreds of readers sent in photos of their cute pets for our annual “Cutest Pets” issue. This year’s contest was decided by the number of “likes” each photo got on our Facebook page. In a heated battle, the adorable Monster won with 415 “likes,” beating out the super cute Goose who had 357 “likes.” The victory prize for Monster was a special package from Tail Wiggles, sponsor of the contest. Monthly thanks all that submitted photos and voted. We have selected some of our favorite photos for this special “Cutest Pets” photo spread. Special thanks to Faith Seiders for capturing this photo of the winning pooch!

An estimated 1 million dogs in the United States have been named the primary beneďŹ ciary in their owner's will.

A female cat may have three to seven kittens every four months. This is why having your pets spayed and neutered is so important.

PETS

A cat will almost never meow at another cat. Cats use this sound for humans.

A cat sees about 6 times better than a human at night.

A cat can jump as much as 7 times its height.

Over 50% of all pet owners would rather be stranded on a desert island with their pet, not another person.

JEFF & JEN PREKOP

Groomingdales opened in 2003 and was purchased

by Jeff and Jen Prekop seven years ago. Founded by Nash Academy graduates with over 20 years of experience, Jen and Jeff grew the business to what it is today: an awardwinning full service all breed pet grooming salon. They have attracted top pet professionals and train in-house to maintain their quality and service. Active in the community, Groomingdales is known for its volunteerism and exciting presentations at community events.

Q: Why do you think Groomingdales has been consistently voted Best Pet Groomers six years running?

A: We are consistent in our quality of grooming and offer a tremendous value for our services. Our professional team loves what they do and it shows in the personal attention they provide each pet.

Q: How does Groomingdales offer such great value?

A: Everything we offer is essential to the well being of your pet. We don't believe in charging extra for services that are part of the normal grooming process i.e nail dremeling, ear cleaning and plucking, gland expression, etc.

Q: Where does Groomingdales go from here?

Dogs can alert their owners of an epileptic seizure up to an hour before it occurs.

A. Continuing to grow and serve our community. My wife Jen has limitless energy and has been excited to partner with different charities and organize events, such as a dog friendly movie night for charity that we hope to continue.

She's also working on expanding our daycare so stay tuned for more details!
