Our Story

Irish Touch Pet Grooming, located in Chesterton, IN, is a premier pet grooming service dedicated to providing exceptional care for both dogs and cats. Founded in 2020 by Mary and Jeff Briney, the business was born out of a deep love for animals and a desire to offer a stress-free, high-quality grooming experience. Mary Briney, who had been grooming professionally for over two and a half years prior to starting the business, is the heart and soul of Irish Touch Pet Grooming. Her passion for animals and her commitment to providing the best possible care for every pet are what set the business apart.

Mary's qualifications reflect her dedication to the craft. She is certified in the Professional Grooming Career Course, Science of the Skin, Pet First Aid & CPR, Certified Pet Aesthetician, and Salon Sanitization. These certifications ensure that she is equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle all grooming needs, from routine cuts to more complex skin conditions. Her in-depth understanding of skin irritation, allergies, fungal and bacterial infections, and overall pet health enables her to give each pet a personalized and thorough grooming experience.

The journey to opening Irish Touch Pet Grooming began when Mary and Jeff decided to take a leap and turn Mary’s passion for grooming into a full-time business. Initially, it was just Mary working solo, but by May 2020, the client base grew rapidly, leading to a need for expansion. The Brineys' commitment to delivering the best service in the region has allowed them to build a loyal clientele and grow the business steadily.

What sets Irish Touch Pet Grooming apart from competitors is the personal connection Mary and Jeff build with each client and their pets. They focus on understanding each pet’s unique grooming and health needs, which ensures a comfortable and effective grooming experience. One of the cornerstones of their approach is minimizing the amount of time pets spend at the salon. They aim to keep grooming sessions between 1.5 to 2.5 hours to reduce stress and anxiety, which is especially important for pets with nervous tendencies. They also specialize in both small and large breeds, ensuring that all animals, regardless of size, receive the same level of care.

Potential customers can expect a transparent and compassionate experience. Irish Touch Pet Grooming takes time to educate pet owners, especially when it comes to establishing a regular grooming schedule. This is crucial for pets with coats that require regular maintenance to avoid matting, which can lead to skin problems. Mary emphasizes the importance of starting grooming early in a pet's life to prevent anxiety and ensure their grooming experience is always a positive one.

At Irish Touch Pet Grooming, every pet is treated like family. Whether you're in need of a simple trim or specialized skin care, Mary Briney and her team are here to provide your pet with the highest quality grooming services. They are currently accepting new clients and look forward to making your pet’s grooming experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. For all your pet grooming needs in Porter, LaPorte, and Lake counties, contact Irish Touch Pet Grooming today.
