BRITNEY MARCUSSEN
Britney Marcussen
Touch of a Paw Spa, Bather
​
Britney has shown throughout her life a deep passion and love for pets. While going through high school and college she volunteered every minute she could to the Humane Society where she helped looking after the pets and the daily dog walks.
At Touch of a Paw Spa, Britney is our bather/dryer and she is brilliant at getting the pets squeaky clean while keeping a very calming and relaxing environment. She has the ideal attitude and exceptional ability to make any pet enjoy every minute of the bathing process and this is the main reason why she is such a great asset for our Spa. In 2015 she will be starting to train to become a Pet Groomer Assistant.
Britney has 2 dogs and 2 cats at home and enjoys her time off reading heroic fantasy books and drawing Japanese anime.
CHLOE
Chloe
Founder, Touch of a Paw Spa, Greater and Embassador-at-large
​
This mother of 6 gorgeous puppies worked daily hand-to-hand with Donna during the set up and initial stages of Touch of a Paw Spa. She is one of the founders of the Spa.
She daily greets and welcomes all our furry pets into the spa. With a couple of sniffs and a couple of tail wags she puts at ease and into a relaxed mood all of our daily visitors.
She is an invaluable member of the Spa's team and, of course, she is always ready to test all of our Spa's treatments to make sure the quality of our services is always maintained at its highest level.
I Wouldn't Take my Dog Anywhere Else!
We have been taking our dog Cindy to Touch of a Paw Spa for almost 4 years. She has never had a bad cut and it really puts me at ease to see how happily she wags her tail as soon as we arrive to the Spa and the staff are greeting her. It's easy to feel that I'm leaving Cindy in the best hands.

Nancy Perras-Spafford
Wilson has been going to Touch of a Paw Spa since he was a fresh pup and he LOVES going for his quarterly spa days! Donna and her team have always been amazing. Donna is very approachable, when something is not quite right, she wants to know and work out a resolution. Top notch professional who genuinely LOVES what she does. I can't imagine ever going anywhere else.
