WINDSOR — It took 25 years of sprucing up dogs in Windsor, but Katie Calkins has a new nickname that describes her perfectly: Ultimate Groomer.
Calkins, 55, the owner of K.C.’s Dog Grooming since 1989, is a nationally certified master groomer who has been named Rags to Riches Ultimate Groomer — an award she has been chasing for five years.
“I just love to turn a dog into being a little mop into something stunning and beautiful,” Calkins said. “A clean dog is a loved dog.”
The online contest pitted Calkins against groomers in the U.S. and Canada. She received a $3,000 cash prize, plus hair dryers, other products and enough dog shampoo to last two years. She’ll also get a trip to Groom Expo 2013 in Hershey, Pa., and will appear in a print ad for contest sponsor Double K Industries.
