Kim has spent 24 years working hands on with dogs and their people, and has owned salons since she was 23. She co-founded Sydnee's Pet Grooming, which grew to 24 locations, so she knows both the table and the business behind it.

After years of listening to owners and studying Ayurveda, integrative wellness, and animal naturopathy, she created the Era Animal Wellness Method and the Dog Dosha Quiz, the framework that gives groomers a scope safe way into the wellness conversation.

The Era Animal Wellness Method

A framework, not a hunch.

Groomers are the first to notice the itchy skin, the extra shedding, the anxious energy, the dry paws. What they have never had is a structured, scope safe way to talk about it. That is what Kim built. It starts with your dog's type, and from there we match the bath, the products, and the pace to them, not to a one-size checklist.

Every ritual we choose traces back to your dog's own pattern. That is the difference between a service and a guess.

MovementComfort, handling, and how they settle
NutritionCoat and skin as a window into wellbeing

Happi Pup Spa provides grooming and everyday wellness support, not veterinary care. We observe, educate, and refer. We never diagnose, treat, or replace your vet.

How we got here

From Sydnee's to Happi Pup

  1. 01 One salon, at twenty-three Kim bought her first grooming salon before most people finish figuring out what they want to do. She has been hands on ever since, which is the part that never changed.
  2. 02 Sydnee's, scaled to twenty-four She co-founded Sydnee's Pet Grooming and helped grow it to 24 locations. Running a business that size teaches you exactly how much a rushed groom costs a dog, and how rarely anyone stops to ask why.
  3. 03 The questions owners kept asking Years of hearing the same things at drop-off. The itching that never resolves. The shedding that got worse. The dog who will not settle. Kim went and studied Ayurveda, integrative wellness, and animal naturopathy to find real answers.
  4. 04 Happi Pup Spa & Apothecary The Sugarhouse salon became the founding home of the Era Animal Wellness Method, with an apothecary handcrafted in house. Same table, same hands, a much bigger idea of what a groom is for.

Katie, Groomer at Happi Pup Spa
KatieGroomer

Hi, I am Katie! I have been grooming for over 3 years, and I could not imagine doing anything else. I have three adorable cats and hopefully when I am out of an apartment I will have a little zoo of my own.

I have always been an animal lover and I knew dog grooming was my thing as soon as I found it. I love spending my days getting to know each dog's quirky little personality and helping them feel happy and confident.

For me, grooming is not just about making your pup look cute, it is about creating a calm and positive experience. I want every pup that comes to me to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I cannot wait to meet your pup!

Maddee, Groomer at Happi Pup Spa
MaddeeGroomer

I am Maddee! I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I even have a kitty of my own at home. I am a creative person who loves working with my hands, which is one of the many reasons I love dog grooming.

Another one of my favorite parts of being a groomer is building connections, not only with the clients I work with, but with their parents too. I work hard to create a positive and comfortable environment and build trust with every dog that comes into my care.

I find it very rewarding seeing a pup come in needing a little extra TLC and watching them leave looking and feeling their best. I love knowing that I get to play a small part in helping each dog feel happy and comfortable. I am excited to meet you and your furry friends!

Jessica, Groomer at Happi Pup Spa
JessicaGroomer

Jessica lives in Salt Lake City with her husband and their two dogs, Margot and Cleo. After six years in the esthetics industry, she decided to combine her love of hands-on care and creativity with something she has always loved: dogs.

Her own dogs have played a big role in shaping her career path. First, Margot sparked her interest in temperament, behavior, and training. Then Cleo introduced her to the world of grooming and quickly became the reason she wanted to learn more.

Jessica began working at Happi Pup Spa in spring of 2026 and loves that there is always something new to learn (and dogs to love on). She cares deeply about making dogs feel comfortable, understood, safe, and well cared for throughout the grooming process.

Outside of work you can find Jessica with a good book, on a run, at a local brewery, knitting, planning over the top parties, playing video games, or spending time with her husband and their dogs.
