With four dogs and two daughters studying to be vets, it’s no secret that the Dewans are an animal family. That’s a big part of why Garrett and Aisling Dewan were drawn to the unique concept of Petbar—a full-service and self-service pet wash and boutique. When the husband and wife duo were considering starting a business, this franchise felt like the perfect fit.
Since beginning their Petbar Cedar Park journey, the Dewans have acquired a staff that loves animals just as much as they do. Their groomers have trained in various locations and schools, and their bathers consist of kennel techs who have veterinary office experience.
“They understand animal behavior and watch for signs of discomfort, fear, or anxiety. We want people who know how to react with compassion and adjust to the needs of the animal,” says Garrett. “If you watch our Instagram videos, you will see how caring and gentle the groomers are with the dogs. We try to demonstrate the full grooming process from the bath to the cut.”
Thanks to Petbar’s membership, it’s easy to keep your dogs looking, smelling, and feeling their best. With the convenience of four washes per month, you can regularly rid your pup of allergens from the yard and eliminate the pain of matting.
“It’s amazing to see people’s faces when their dog comes running out from either the groomer or the bath. I have seen so many times where the dogs are virtually unrecognizable from when they came in,” says Garrett. “In fact, one time I remember the owner walked right past his dog—it was such a transformation."
Petbar Cedar Park is committed to being a game changer for any dog owner, whether faced with a Chihuahua or a Great Pyrenees. On top of that, Garrett and Aisling devote time to giving back to the community that has so warmly welcomed them.
“We have supported school sports, FFA funding, Ladder for Leaders, Austin women’s groups, and much more. We try where we can and where it makes sense to help with events for other local organizations in the area,” says Garrett. “I feel it’s important we all try to help each other to be successful.”

“Pets are like children to many people. It’s exciting for them to see their pup come out nice and clean with a little bandana on.”
