Sarah Mayfield and her sister, business partner and pup photographer Emma, have six dogs of their own—so when they opened Oodles of Poodles in north end Halifax, they were coming at it from a pet-parent perspective as well as an entrepreneurial one. They wanted to create a stress-free spot where pups got one-on-one attention when it came to their baths, pedicures, dye jobs and glamourous grooming. And clients here are nothing short of runway material. “A huge thank-you to all our wonderful clients and furry friends that voted for us,” says Sarah. “You guys are the best!”
