Pet Evolution

Wash • Groom • Nourish

If left to their own devices, your dog would eat questionable things and stink. Luckily for them, they have won the dog lottery. They have the best pal in the world to take care of them!

If you want your pooch to look and feel like a million barks, then you need only go to Pet Evolution of Eden Prairie. The locally owned franchise offers convenient self-wash stations, professional grooming services, and the foods and supplements which fuel canine bodies best. (Cats eat good at Pet Evolution, too!)

Washing

Is your dog starting to smell like … you know … a dog? Destinkify Fido at one of Pet Evolution’s DIY pup scrub stations! Fully adjustable nozzles. Comfortably warm water. Tubs that safely accommodate big lugs and distinguished seniors. Unlimited shampoo, unlimited towels, and complimentary smocks. One round with the high-velocity commercial air dryer, and presto – a dog that could easily pass for a bed of roses based on scent alone.

Grooming

If you want to truly beautify your dog, then it’s time to enlist the professionals. Pet Evolution’s seven full-time groomers and three full-time bathers are standing by to provide a “shampooch,” a quick trim around the face and paws, or a full groom that would make any AKC champ growl with envy. 

“We’re huge on continuing education,” said David Denniston, franchise owner. “Our groomers are always learning new techniques from online classes and the experts who regularly teach at our store. Whether your dog needs a cool summer shave, a by-the-book breed cut, or a field cut that will help them slip through the wilderness, we’ll make sure you love their new look.

“We make pet grooming convenient, easy and rewarding. You can schedule an appointment weeks in advance, or book the same day if you have to. We’ll help you understand your options, ask what we can do to accommodate your dog’s health and personality, and let you know when we’re almost finished. We’ll even send you an after pic! And if we discover any health issues that can be addressed through a change in diet, then Alex Apsey, our team’s certified nutritionist, will be happy to tell you more.”

Nutrition

“I’m knowledgeable on the wide range of health challenges dogs commonly face, including obesity, mobility, thyroid, urinary, cardiovascular, dermatologic and gastrointestinal issues,” said Alex. “If you need help balancing your dog’s diet, choosing the right homemade or commercial diet for their unique needs, or making informed decisions about the many supplements we offer for sale, you can count on my expertise to make your best friend look and feel great!

“Our health solutions save a lot of dogs from unnecessary trips to the vet. If your dog’s paws have become red and flaky, our Yeasty Beast Protocol homeopathic remedy can undo the damage. If they have a lot of anxiety, ask me to recommend the right CBD chew or tincture. And if their coat has lost its luster, I’ll design just the right diet to restore that healthy sheen.”

Navigating Pet Evolution’s massive selection of single-ingredient, limited-ingredient, grain-free, grain-in, raw and freeze-dried foods can be daunting without Alex’s guidance. But once she has learned what your dog likes to eat – and gathered what they should be eating – she will devise a full, well-rounded diet that they’ll love wolfing down.

Call (952) 521-3355 to schedule your dog’s grooming appointment or diet consultation at 8248 Commonwealth Drive, or learn more at petevolution.com.
