Pet care is personal. When people trust a brand with their dog’s grooming, wellness, and comfort, they are trusting that business with a beloved member of the family.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we welcome Michelle Sandonato, Co-Founder and President of Bowie Barker Bath + Groomerie, a modern dog grooming brand offering full-service grooming, self-serve wash stations, wellness checks, membership-based care, and a convenient booking experience. Bowie Barker was founded in Los Angeles and is expanding through franchising with a mission to elevate the traditional dog grooming experience.
In Paws & Purpose, we explore:
• Why trust and empathy matter in the pet care industry
• How Bowie Barker is modernizing dog grooming and wellness
• Why pet businesses can become powerful local community hubs
• How franchising can help bring high-quality pet care to more neighborhoods
• What it takes to scale a service brand without losing personal connection
• Why community-centered experiences are the future of pet care
🎙️ Hosted by Stephen Sakach and Tullio Siragusa

The future of pet care is not only about services. It is about creating trusted, joyful spaces where pets, people, and communities feel cared for.
