Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

It is because of excellent reviews like this that Dirty Tails is now able to call themselves a Top Rated Local award winner!

Not Your Average Pet Groomer

Dirty Tails got their start 13 years ago, when it started as a self-service dog wash. Over the years, they have become a full-service grooming salon, daycare, and overnight boarding.

We were excited to learn all about Dirty Tails and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with Kristin Brigandi.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Dirty Tails stand apart from its competitors. We learned that they are an open facility, which means that nothing happens behind closed doors. They have a pet bakery and give out doggie daycare report cards. They listen to their clients, practice excellent communication with them, and make sure that attention is given to every client, giving each of them the amount of time they need based on their individual needs. If a senior dog needs more time, they give it to them. If a puppy needs some play, they are more than willing to accomodate.

Kristin told us that they are cleaning up Plainville, one tail at a time.

Building Success And Giving Back

Dirty Tails has earned a fantastic reputation over the years, so we wanted to know a bit about how they have gotten their name out and grown their business. Kristin told us that they do what they can to support their community, which they do by participating in pet-related events and supporting local sports teams. They also keep in touch with their community through their Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram profiles.

There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Dirty Tails has managed to. We asked if Kristin could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:

“Be committed, and be honest with your client base when it comes to pricing and their pets.”


Congratulations to Dirty Tails for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and special thanks to Kristin for taking the time to speak with us!
