Like many of you, we have a very strong bond with our dogs. They are members of our pack, and we are members of their pack. When we began to seriously talk about creating a business that could have the potential to positively impact so many dogs and their owners the excitement took over. An idea to build a hydrotherapy center soon began to expand as we talked about adding a bakery and the retail shop. Like many good ideas, they need a driving force to put them into action, Diane was that driving force.

Her love for dogs, combined with her passion for learning brought Happy Dog Healthy Dog from an idea to a reality. With over 16 years experience as one of the most respected massage therapists in the state, Diane's work on human clients ended when a tendon ruptured in her hand. As she rehabilitated she began to massage our dogs to gain strength.

Our dogs responded so well to the massage that she began to devote her recovery to canine massage and forgo the humans. Many of the humans cried fowl and begged her to return, they could not believe she would only book appointments with their dogs and not them. She also began to pour herself into the study of canine nutrition and the history of commercial dog food. What she found was alarming, and that became the driving force behind the bakery and providing a source for better food.

The idea has now become a reality, we look forward to meeting you and your dog. The true joy in opening Happy Dog Healthy Dog is watching the dogs walk up the steps and know that this store is for them, when the tails begin to wag we know we are doing something right.
