About Us
About Shampooch Pet Salon
For more than a decade, Shampooch Pet Salon has been caring for pets in the Bonita Springs community with a personalized, gentle approach to grooming. With years of hands-on animal care and grooming experience, Vilma and her team understand that every pup has their own personality, comfort level, and individual needs.
From puppy imprinting and full-service grooming to gentle senior care, natural grooming options, and specialty services, we take the time to make every visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Experienced care, personalized attention, and a whole lot of love – that’s the Shampooch difference.
MEET VILMA
Vilma Vicente has dedicated much of her life to understanding, caring for, and working with animals. With a degree in Animal Sciences from UBA, she gained valuable experience at the University Veterinary Hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she worked as an imaging specialist with a wide variety of animals – from dogs, cats, and horses to wildlife and zoo animals.
Combining her knowledge of animals with a lifelong creative side, Vilma became a Pet Stylist and has since trained numerous protégés who have gone on to successful grooming careers of their own.
Her approach goes beyond traditional grooming. Vilma is also a certified Animal Acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner through the Tallgrass Institute, a Reiki Practitioner, and an Animal Massage Therapist through PetMassage Inc., with additional knowledge of aroma and herbal therapies.
Today, Vilma brings that unique combination of animal care, experience, creativity, and gentle hands-on attention to the pups and families of Shampooch Pet Salon.
vilma’s pups
Trixie
Trixie, a sweet Dachshund, was rescued in Arkansas after being found as a stray at just six months old. Alone in a rural area and frightened of people, it took several days of patience before rescuers were able to earn her trust. Today, Trixie is safe, loved, and very much part of the family.
Norton
Norton, a lovable mixed breed, was rescued from a hoarding situation in Clewiston, Florida. He came to Vilma fearful of people, poorly socialized, and in need of lots of patience and love. After becoming part of the family, Norton blossomed into a happy, gentle pup who loves other creatures, spending time in the garden, and even coming to work at the Shampooch salon!
For Trixie and Norton, a difficult beginning turned into a life filled with safety, happiness, and plenty of love.
Your Pup Is Family Here!
At Shampooch, every dog deserves patience, kindness, and care that fits their individual needs. Whether it’s their very first groom, a regular freshen-up, or a little extra attention for a senior pup, Vilma and her team are here to make every visit a positive one.
