Owners of the business, Patrick and Joanna Casey, say they are looking forward to getting the new business up and running. They also own and operate Fort Thomas Pizza and Tavern at 1109 S. Fort Thomas Avenue.
"The city has a large population of dogs and I felt that opening this business could help people from having to go to Newport or Highland Heights to get their dogs groomed," said Patrick Casey.
The Caseys, who have two labs of their own and are self-described "dog people," said that they had been approached about a few other business concepts, including a wine bar and a printing business.
"Those concepts never materialized so I thought I might as well utilize the space myself and do something that we know," he said. "We are looking forward to developing he business over the next few months. We know that nothing can happen overnight, but we will be very stringent as far as processes and show due diligence and utmost care when it comes to the animals. We'll make sure it works."
Fort Thomas resident, Judy Dedeker will be the manager of the new business. She said her love of animals made this new business concept perfect for her. She has four dogs.

"I'm really excited to start at a business from the ground up. It's nice to be at the point in my career where I can bring my expertise and everything I've learned over the years to the table," she said. "All the animals will be treated with as much respect as your child would be treated."

Debbie Buckley said that the addition to Heir of the Dog to Pet Wants and the Fort Thomas Animal Hospital has created a niche animal market in the Midway District. "We certainly need another grooming business and I think this will be a great addition," she said.
Fort Thomas Renaissance Board member, Mike McDonough of Your Town Realtors, was also at the ribbon cutting. "It's great to see yet another business open up in our town. Especially one for our four legged friends. Fort Thomas is such a pet-friendly town it's great to have a shop that caters to their needs."
