Brand New Salon


Hello! Welcome to our blog! We are a brand new grooming salon that provides services for both cats and dogs in Bon Air. We are located on Buford Road next to Buford Road Pharmacy. Since opening, we have received several questions from clients asking if we are affiliated with the salon that was previously here, Burroughs. We purchased the salon in November and since it has been cleaned, remodeled, and upgraded. The salon is under completely new ownership, new management, and we are in no way affiliated with Burroughs!
Our Salon has a completely open concept so that we can visually see your pet the whole time they are in our care. We take every precaution to guarantee safety, which is why we have cameras throughout our facility. We never use any type of heated dryers or enclosed crates. Unlike corporate salons, our main goal is to ensure safety, quality, and a more personable experience.


Our Story

Mr. Herbert Alexander, the owner of Bows & Bones Pet Grooming, opened the salon in April 2017 as a pet lover himself for his dog PowPow to have a safe place with quality groomers to ensure they have a pleasant experience. He had previously taken his dog to other corporate salons where he just never felt he had a pleasant, personable experience. Under Mr. Alexander, the store is also run by Manager/Lead Groomer, Willow (also known as Jay) who has 13 years experience in pet grooming and 10 years experience in running successful corporate salons. This salon was opened and is run by the philosophy that pets are treated like family, because that's what they are. We look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

    This place is absolutely wonderful! The whole staff is friendly, accommodating and professional. My dog always looks good when I pick him up but today he looked especially good. When I called later to compliment the cut I was told Katherine had been the groomer. Kudos to her! She's great! Would recommend this place to everyone!

What To Consider Before Gifting A Dog For The Holidays

With Christmas being right around the corner, it's not uncommon for families to get puppies as a gift for their family member or themselves over the holidays. As wonderful as a gift dogs and puppies are, unfortunately, often times they are soon surrendered for adoption because not enough research was done to ensure the dog you are getting is a good fit for you and your family. Often times, important things to consider prior such as dog's breed, dog's energy levels, dog's temperament, dog's grooming and health needs, the time, attention, and training required, etc. are overlooked before bringing a dog home. For example, if you are interested in a low maintenance dog, a golden doodle, though adorable, may not be the best choice because they require daily brushing and regular grooming every 6-8 weeks to avoid matted hair (see blog post on matting ). Dogs are not objects, dogs are living, breathing creatures and most importantly, they are family. We encourage everyone ...

What Are You Feeding Your Pup?

Like people, dogs are what they eat. 40% of dogs are obese, 46% of dogs die of cancer, and heart, kidney, and liver disease are an epidemic. A lot people don't know about the foods their dog is eating, simply because the labels that say "organic, gourmet, high quality, complete and balanced", etc. are often misleading and don't mean much at all. Dog food may legally contain "4-D" meat: meat from dead, dying, diseased, and disabled animals. You may not think that what your dog eats can directly correlate with their health, but it can and it does! Ingredients in Dog Food to Avoid: Find a full list of ingredients to avoid here:  Ingredients To Avoid Ethoxyquin  - used as a preservative which is also found in herbicides. Vets have noticed that this ingredient is associated with development of kidney and liver damage, cancer, immune deficiency syndrome, blindness, and leukemia Propylene Glycol  - Also found in anti-freeze, it's placed in dog food to...

What To Do In The Event of Natural Disasters

As our beloved dogs and cats are a part of our family, it's always best to be prepared in the event of a natural disaster so they do not get left behind. Here are a few tips to prepare for in case disaster strikes: Upload all of your pet/vet records/identification records to a safe place (in the event that the paper copies get lost or destroyed) either to an email, phone, or hard drive. Also it's best to have a Rescue Alert Sticker that lets first responders know there are pets inside your home that need to be saved. Blizzards: Since we are in the middle of this year's winter weather, we will start with tips on how to keep your pup safe during blizzards. Keep your pet indoors as much as possible and limit outdoor time to bathroom breaks. It's very important that you do not leave your pets outdoors during frigid temperatures. If you are cold, that's a good indication that they are cold as well. When they do go outside, make sure you are prepared. Keep the...
