Tanja Hasler
started her pet grooming business in September 2012 after purchasing an existing home-based grooming business called “Kookie’s”. She returned to Kamloops after working abroad in Switzerland so that she could be closer to her family. She received a BSc Mathematics from University College of the Cariboo in 1999 and became a certified pet groomer in 2011. She mentored under a skilled groomer with over 40 years of experience prior to starting a professional pet salon in her home on the North Shore of Kamloops. Tanja’s Pet Grooming has grown steadily over that last three years, receiving positive feedback on her pet styling and grooming techniques. Last spring, she attended the Northwest Grooming Show in Tacoma, WA and will be returning again next year to learn further techniques and styles. She operates with the belief that styling and grooming should go to enhance the overall well-being of the animal. All dogs, large & small, benefit from grooming as it aids in the breathability of their skin, comfort of the dog, body temperature control and many other aspects of the dogs health. All of Tanja’s furry clients undergo a routine inspection of their skin, nails, ears and teeth with preventative health care recommendations made to the owners. Tanja is committed to the well-being of her clients pets and welcomes your furry friends to her professional pet salon!

My name is Della Summers and I’m happy to have been a resident of Kamloops for the past seven years. I originally moved out here for the improvement in weather — as I’m originally from Saskatoon — but I’ve stayed because I love the people of this fine city! As a dentist, I’ve seen many changes through my career. I never imagined when I first started dentistry that at this stage I would be placing implants, doing bone and soft tissue grafts, and doing cosmetic dentistry that improves people’s smiles, and their self confidence, therefore their quality of life. Using a CT scanner seemed like something out of science fiction, but it is now reality and aids us in our day to day diagnosis and treatment planning. The best part of what I do is dentistry that is painless. Whether it is because of the topical anesthetics we use before the actual injection, or the gentle approach I prefer, it’s safe to say we aren’t recreating any bad experiences for people that occurred in the past. My favourite thing is when patients say to me: “You know, I feel more like I was visiting a friend than seeing a dentist,” or “That’s it? We’re done??” That, to me, is success. I’m very excited to be opening my new office on St Paul Street in early November. We’ve got a great team, all with the same vision to help people keep their teeth for their lifetime, to replace them with solid implants, or implant supported dentures. THIS is fun, and very rewarding for the patients and us as a team!
