Help me name my business...

[Shelteez2]

I am going to be starting a dog grooming business out of my house. I will be finishing a room in my basement complete with a tub, dryers, grooming table etc.
I am going downtown to City Hall on Monday to apply for the permit. I have everything I need (pictures of the area, pictures of the available parking etc) except I do not have a name. I am drawing a complete blank here.
I could really really use some ideas. I thought that perhaps we could have a brainstorming session here so post anything that comes to mind, even if you think it sounds silly. I really appreciate any help I can get.

I really like "The Barker Shop" as Karen suggested.

Just a tip, be sure there's something doggie related in the name. I know while I was on vacation I searched in the GPS for doggie related stores. I searched for dog, paw, puppies, etc.

There's a place I go to down here that I drove by for YEARS and had no clue it was a dog place because the name is "Munchies."

I would NOT use dog in the name for this reason. Some of us with long haired cats sometimes get overwhelmed with the mats and need a pro to clip them out. Note: some states require a separate license to work on cats; maybe your state does, you don't have it, so this is not an issue for you. Just wanted to point this out.

I really like Bark and Fluff; Pawsitively Beautiful; and Groom and Go.

You want something easy if you decide to invest in freebies - lanyards, caps, keychains, for advertisement purposes.

Pet Grooming by ( and then your name) This works well because people looking for a pet groomer on the internet will type in pet grooming and there you are. A different name might not come up in the search engine as fast.

Pawsitively Beautiful

*lol* when i started reading this thread, "Pawsitively" popped into my head, and you beat me to it -- love the name!

My other alternative was going to be Pawsitively Pampered

I like The Barker Shop. I think simple is good. How about The Dog Bath? I think that's cute and straight forward. It does specify dogs, but if you're not going to groom cats, then it's ok. Not all groomers will groom a cat or even bathe them, for their own personal reasons. If you're going to make it a grooming place for pets, though, I think Pawsitively Beautiful is cute, although kinda long. Maybe The Pet Bath, if you're planning on grooming more than just dogs.
