Dog Gone Dog Spa

The Dog Gone Dog Spa was opened in 2022 by Brian and Kristin Bishop, after a business opportunity presented itself through the local shop that they used to groom their own four-legged family members.

When the previous owner was presented with extremely difficult health challenges, she expressed to Brian that her primary concern was for the continuation of services for her clients…and although owning a grooming shop had never crossed their minds…they were confident in 2 things: their love for animals and business. A couple of months later they finalized the business sale of Paws Salon, relocated and rebranded into the shop that you see today!

Brian and Kristin own several other businesses including Bishop Family Insurance Agency, located in the heart of Spotsylvania Courthouse, where they were both born and raised. Together, they have 5 amazing children, 2 that were adopted internationally in 2019 and 2021. Their 5 dogs, 4 cats, 2 bearded dragons, bunny rabbit, and box turtle named “Spotter” round out their pack of 4-legged friends. They have an immense passion for animals and helping those in need.

Brian said, “Owning this shop has been a huge blessing for our family. Not only was I able to leave the daily grind of an industry that was extremely taxing on my health, but the schedule flexibility of this new venture allowed me to spend precious time with my family while loving your awesome pets…two things I love more than anything.”
