Who we are

Tails and Topknots is currently a one-woman endeavor run by me, Toni Remmich.

I have been professionally grooming since 2015 and have made it my mission to provide the very best for every pet! I received my B.S in Animal Science from Kansas State University with a focus on Pet Food Science and Companion Animal Nutrition. My passion is educating pet parents so they have the tools to spoil their pets inside and out and for as long as possible.

I believe knowledge is key and I’m constantly furthering my professional education through conferences, seminars, and advanced certifications. I’m a member of both the National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGAA) and International Professional Groomers (IPG). I’ve spent 2024 actively earning multiple professional certifications and I’m currently on my journey to becoming an International Certified Master Groomer.

What most people don’t know is less than 2% of professional pet groomers are certified and even less than that become Masters. I’m seeking to change that. I believe our industry can do better and we SHOULD do better. There are many ways to groom a dog but there is a RIGHT way and a WRONG way. I value and appreciate the trust I build with pet owners every time I work with their dogs and I promise to always adhere to the ethics and morals of my profession.
