From its humble beginnings as a one-man mobile service to a trusted presence in pet stores across the region, Pedicured has built a reputation for safe, low-stress nail trims for both dogs and cats.\n\nMary shares the unique origin story of the company (including a love story sparked by a puppy visit), how their innovative handling techniques reduce anxiety for pets, and why proper nail maintenance is essential for a pet’s health, mobility, and overall well-being. The conversation also explores their expansion into multiple locations, the introduction of house call services, and the importance of creating positive, fear-free experiences for animals—especially those turned away elsewhere.\n\nChristine also highlights listener feedback from a previous episode and teases an upcoming discussion on breed restrictions, rounding out an episode that blends education, community, and a shared love for animals."}
