About Us - Petapalooza
Petapalooza is the brain child of, and proudly owned and operated by, Hayden Middlebrook. Now open for almost six month and growing strong. He has combined his experience showing cats with his love for animals in this venture. He also sheep, goats, chickens, dogs, cats... and a few hundred goldfish, quite the menagerie. Luckily he has an amazing and supportive partner who helps him everyday. You know what they say, "Behind every great man..."
Hayden has years of experience showing cats and has a great appreciation for well groomed animals. In the course of showing cats he has had to learn how to degrease, shampoo, condition, blow-dry, brush, comb and even trim the nails of his cats. Not to mention the two Maremma Sheepdogs who are the onsite security. As a result of this he has tested many pet grooming products over the years and found that one illusive product to beat all the others. That is why he has started selling the internationally renowned 'Groomer's Goop' and is looking to expand into more quality products in the future.
