The Bogue family purchased Preferred By Pets in August 1994 and has operated continuously out of 3788 Voltaire St in the Stump's Marketplace Shopping Center, with daughter Jessica — an International Certified Master Groomer — taking ownership in 2008 and husband Peter joining the family business in 2011. A staff of 8 experienced pet stylists runs breed-specific cuts, hand-scissoring, and hand-stripping work on wire-coated breeds, and medical skin-issue cases mid-groom route directly to neighborhood veterinary hospitals such as Sunset Cliffs Animal Hospital for diagnosis. The team travels to Pasadena each year as a group for continuing-education seminars in grooming technique and handling safety, which is unusual for a neighborhood grooming operation. Basic groom service includes bath, condition, blow-dry, nail trim, ear cleaning, and sanitary trim, with flea-treatment protocols layered on when an infestation is detected. Senior-dog clients with arthritis, skin fragility, or age-related handling concerns often travel with mobile-vet visits from specialists such as Home Sweet Home Veterinary Housecalls to coordinate medication timing around grooming appointments. The most technical work on the books is show-quality scissor-work on a Bichon, Poodle, or Portuguese Water Dog, a breed-specific hand-scissored trim that runs 3 hours or more and follows breed-standard patterning rather than a generic pet clip.
