I will continue to use this platform to provide education about how we can all best care for our furry friends. And to catalog my career moving forward.  I'll be sure to add more context, photos and more to these posts when I free up some time. For now, I wanted to have a footprint saying that change is happening over here!! Until next post, best wishes and puppy kisses Karina

While Pawsh Pet Cafe has closed its doors, my passion for dog grooming, care, and education remains stronger than ever.
