Kim Odeen had been working with animals since 1991, first as a veterinary assistant and then as a bather and groomer, but it wasn't until 2006 that she made the decision to strike out on her own and start a pet grooming business. 

After two years of research and developing a thorough business plan with a SCORE mentor, her dream became a reality. Kim's Animal House is now an all-breed, full-service pet grooming salon offering high-quality holistic foods, treats and pet products. 

Kim says, "Our SCORE mentor helped us find a great accountant that helped us get everything in order... it has enabled us to spend more time on marketing our business and has led us to double our sales."
