Dina Perry, Founder of Wag'n Tails Mobile Conversions Wag'n Tails

Founder, Dina Perry, has been in the grooming industry for almost 30 years and has 1000's of hours working in mobile grooming units. She added mobile grooming in 1975 to her five salons. Since then Dina has expanded with a fleet of up to 20 vans serving a three county area. This high level of experience is evident in the design and construction of all Wag'n Tails units, including the company's new state-of-the-art mobile grooming trailers. Only the best will do. Dina was recently awarded "Groomer of the Century" by the professional pet grooming industry. Whether you are in sunny, humid Florida or cool, northern Michigan, Wag'n Tails mobile grooming conversion vans are built to take it. Need training? Dina founded one of the USA's very few federally accredited grooming schools, The Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology, in Lansing, Michigan. She is very active in the pet industry as a grooming competitor, judge and speaker at contests all over the USA. In 1994 and 1995, Dina was the coordinator for Groom Team USA and has never missed a European competition as coordinator, competitor or supporter. She has placed in competitions abroad, as well as in the USA. She now sits on the board of directors for Groom Team USA. Dina's son Dennis Gnetz has also spent many years in the grooming industry, operating the family's pet dryer company through his college years to help finance his education. He graduated with a marketing degree from Michigan State University. After college he worked for a fortune 500 Corporation consulting small businesses. His marketing background has proved invaluable in helping many groomers hit the ground running with their mobile grooming businesses. Wag'n Tails Mobile Conversions has sold over 300 units to independent groomers across the country, providing a wealth of knowledge from years of experience. Wag'n Tails provides marketing materials and business planning guidelines to insure the success of their customers. "Grooming is my career. It's my life's ambition to make our trade one with respect and profitability." -Dina Perry
