Virginia’s Top Rated Local® Pet Groomers Award Winner: Purrocious Styles Feline Designs

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Purrocious Styles Feline Designs is a 2019 award winner for pet groomers in Virginia!

If your cat is due for a bath, nail trimming or ear cleaning, there’s one pet groomer in Virginia who stands above the rest — Purrocious Styles Feline Designs.

Purrocious Styles Feline Designs has earned dozens of online reviews with an average rating of 5.00 stars, a fantastic Rating Score™ of 96.00 and a 2018 Top Rated Local award for being ranked among the top 10 pet groomers in all of Virginia.

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

“I am so glad I found you. I didn’t even know cat groomers were a thing. I did know that my long-haired cat shed horrifically and liked to sharpen his claws on my furniture and carpets. Now that I’ve been bringing him to you regularly, there aren’t any more furballs all over my house, and we can pet him without having cat hair fly everywhere. You also introduced us to soft paws, which means he can’t tear up our furniture anymore and, when he wants to curl up with us, he can knead without scratching us up. Even my elder kitty doesn’t hate getting groomed here, and she hates everything that isn’t in her normal routine and gets stressed out so easily. You are always gentle with her and willing to take the extra time needed so she doesn’t get overly stressed out. I am so very glad I found you.” – Celeste S

Not Your Average Pet Groomer

As the name implies, Purrocious Styles Feline Designs is a feline-exclusive pet salon. Both of the groomers on staff are Master Certified Cat Groomers, which is a rarity, because there are only three total in the Virginia and fewer than 300 worldwide.

Purrocious Styles Feline Designs is the one and only feline-exclusive grooming salon in Virginia, and as such, their groomers are held to the highest industry standards so that they can ensure that every client is treated with respect and that every cat is treated as if they were their own.

We asked LaDean Gordon, the owner and Master Certified Cat Groomer at Purrocious Styles, why they do what they do and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what she had to say:

“Our mission is to help cat owners who have nowhere else to go to have their cats groomed. A groomed cat is a healthy cat. There is so much misinformation out there on how cats hate water, on how cats shouldn’t be groomed and on how cats groom themselves. Our goal is to give cat owners a happier, healthier life for their cats through grooming.”

Building Success Through Social Media and Referrals

LaDean credits Purrocious Styles’ strong online reputation to the fact that they are active on Facebook, as are their clients, which is where the majority of their reviews come from.

In addition to building a powerful online reputation, their qualifications and certifications have led to referrals from multiple veterinarians in the area.

They are also participants in the World of Pets Expo, which happens in Hampton Roads annually, and they have a featured booth, called The Cat Health and Professional Grooming Booth, where they do demonstrations on how to properly clip a cat’s nails, comb their hair between grooming sessions and check their ears and teeth.

When we asked LaDean what advice she has for other business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation, she shared these words of wisdom with us:

“Interact with your clients. Make sure you have quality information to provide people on social media, and that you have quality content on your website. Anticipate questions your clients may have related to your services and provide them answers before they even ask them.”


Congratulations to the team at Purrocious Styles Feline Designs for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner!
