BUBBLES & BOWS
15174 Dedeaux Rd., Gulfport 228.832.0848
Bubbles & Bows has been serving four- legged friends of Coastal Mississippi for nearly 13 years. They offer a variety of bathing and grooming services for dogs of all sizes, including senior and special needs pets. Bubbles & Bows also offers dog boarding and walk-in nail trimming.
Ashley Kerr, owner, says the pets are the highlight of the day. “But truly, it’s sharing the love of grooming with my fellow coworkers that is the best part of my shop. We’ve created a family with each other and with our clients.”
Her advice to young entrepreneurs is simple: “Don’t shy away from a hurdle. They are God’s moments to really push us so the world can see us shine.”
And what most people don’t know about her is her absolute love of Poodles and Doodles. “I owned my first Standard Poodle when
I was 17,” she says, “and since then I have always had one in my life. Goldendoodles and Labradoodles are an everyday flow in our shop. We love being creative and educating owners about these new breeds.”
