"Grooming is not just about making your pet look good; it's about showing them love through care and attention.

~April Cain

April's Pet Place is now located conveniently in Whiteville North Carolina, just 20 minutes from Coastal Brunswick County.

April graduated in 2000 from Nanhall Professional School of Dog Grooming in Greensboro, NC. She is also the 2001 first place winner of the "Oster Career Start Grooming Competition".


All dogs and cats should be groomed on a regular basis,  some breeds more than others. While the dogs you see in competition will display a show trim, most dogs will look equally impressive in the easier-to-care-for pet trim. Dogs should be bathed every four to six weeks. April's Pet Place uses shampoos and conditioners specially formulated for your pet's coat type. To keep your pet comfortable, the nails should be clipped every four to eight weeks. Ear cleaning is essential to help prevent ear infections, ear mites and odors. Whether you have a new puppy or a senior cat, we have the expertise to help you maintain a great grooming regimen.

For the safety of all pets, April’s Pet Place requires proof of current Rabies, Distemper, and Parvo vaccinations.

We look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!
