Everyone loves to be pampered every now and then and the same goes for our beloved pets. Tamara Currie, Island Spaw & Kennels Inc. and her staff do just that.

Over 10 years ago, Tamara’s husband, Mitchell told her it was time to venture out and open her own grooming business. Tamara had her doubts, but after enrolling in a small business program, meeting with key stakeholders such as CBDC Western PEI and developing a business plan, she started to believe it could be possible.

Island Spaw and Kennels Inc. certainly did not become the success that it is now without learning curves. Persistence, perseverance, tremendous passion and a great deal of patience are necessary when starting and growing your business.

November 9, 2020 marks 10 years that Island Spaw & Kennels Inc. has been in business. Tamara says “I do what I love, and I love what I do.” Clients on Island Spaw & Kennels Inc. Facebook page have said “Very pleasant atmosphere and loving caring staff.” and “Tamara loves every animal that enters and is so passionate at what she does! Your animals are in great hands here!”

Island Spaw & Kennels Inc. was recently awarded the CBDC Western PEI Business Award of Distinction. Tamara says receiving this award was unexpected and had her in tears. She also has a lot of gratitude and love for the assistance she and her business have received. Tamara’s husband, Mitchell praised his wife on receiving the award by saying “So well deserved. So very nice for the recognition by CBDC. She is one of the hardest workers I know. This has stimulated a lot of reflection on the past journey.”

We wish Island Spaw & Kennels Inc. continued success!
