ONE STOP PET SHOP
BEST PET GROOMER
It’s no surprise that a woman who owns an animal grooming business is passionate about pets, but Dawn Lichtenwalner really takes it to the extreme. Her brood includes eight dogs, horses, birds, chickens and a pig. “It’s really a zoo at my home,” she says. Lichtenwalner, the owner of One Stop Pet Shop in Emmaus, worked at a veterinary oce for 10 years before going out on her own as a small-business owner. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to close her doors, she considered not coming back. Luckily for all those pet owners who depend on her to care for their furry friends, she had a change of heart. “It has pushed us harder to make sure we stay where we are and keep helping these people in our community,” says Lichtenwalner. It’s obvious that her clientele is grateful she made that call. In the days after grooming operations were allowed to reopen in the state, Lichtenwalner was scrambling to reschedule hundreds of appointments. It would be nearly two weeks before she was able to take a day off. “We really do love the animals like they’re our own,” she says.
