Meet Antonio And Yhoel | “More than grooming it’s our passion.”

We had the good fortune of connecting with Antonio And Yhoel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Antonio, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
Other than deciding to work for ourselves, the most important decision we’ve made has been to believe in ourselves—our profession, our passion, and the quality of what we do.

When we opened our company in Forney—a predominantly English-speaking community—we knew we would face multiple challenges, including the language barrier. But we took that risk with full confidence in our work. Every obstacle became an opportunity to grow, and we truly believe that our trust in ourselves and our commitment have been key to our journey.

Throughout this process, we’ve had to make many important decisions. One of the most defining ones has been choosing to focus on offering an exclusive service—designed for a specific audience that values personalized care, high standards, and a deep awareness of what true pet wellness means.

We knew that this audience existed, and we chose to speak directly to them—with a purpose-driven service rooted in quality and compassion. Our mission goes beyond grooming; it’s about inspiring pet parents to understand the importance of keeping their pets healthy, cared for, and truly part of the family.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We feel deeply proud of where we are today, because it hasn’t been easy. It has been a long road—built with time, effort, love, and purpose.

What sets us apart from others is the way we work: with heart, with intention, and with deep respect for every pet and their family. For us, grooming is not just a routine—it’s a personalized experience. Every pet is different, every client has unique needs, and we truly take the time to listen. We take their words, their concerns, and transform them into love, care, and dedication. Our goal is for every pet to feel happy, and for every client to feel heard, understood, and valued.

We are proud to say that our clients notice this difference. Reading each review on our Google page, seeing those five stars, fills us with joy. Every comment is motivation to keep going, to keep growing, and to give our very best every day.

Getting here hasn’t been easy. We’ve had to face many challenges, but we’ve overcome them through the confidence we have in our work, the faith that sustains us, the support of our clients, and—above all—our passion and love for this profession.

Our company was founded by two partners: Antonio Muñoz and Yhoel García. Antonio is a veterinarian who graduated in Venezuela in 2008 and has more than 26 years of experience as a professional groomer. His training has given him the sensitivity and insight to understand each pet’s individual needs.

Yhoel is a metallurgical engineer by profession, also graduated in Venezuela. He began his journey in the grooming world in 2015 and has been fully dedicated to it since 2019. He’s been an animal lover his entire life and found in this profession a way to express his passion and care for them.

We are extremely proud to be Venezuelan and to represent our country with dignity and passion here in the United States. This dream has grown over time—with faith, with God’s help, and with the incredible people who have walked alongside us. We’ve been able to turn it into a reality, and today we continue working with the same commitment and excitement as day one.

Our mission is to reach every person—and every pet—with love. We believe all pets deserve to be treated with respect, compassion, and kindness. They all deserve to feel loved. And that is exactly what we aim to reflect in every grooming experience.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting the area for a week, I’d make sure they had the most unforgettable experience exploring the beauty, culture, and spirit of North Texas and beyond!

Day 1 – Welcome to Forney
We’d start right here in Forney, our charming hometown, to enjoy the local vibe and small-town warmth. We’d grab breakfast at a local favorite spot, then walk through historic downtown, visit some antique shops, and maybe catch a sunset by Lake Ray Hubbard.

Day 2 – Exploring Dallas
Next up: Dallas! We’d visit the iconic Reunion Tower to take in the skyline view, then head to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, where President Kennedy’s legacy is remembered. After a stroll through Klyde Warren Park and the Dallas Museum of Art, we’d enjoy dinner in the vibrant Deep Ellum district—known for live music, murals, and incredible food.

Day 3 – Fort Worth’s Western Soul
On day three, we’d dive into the Texan cowboy culture with a trip to Fort Worth. We’d explore the Fort Worth Stockyards, watch the cattle drive, and visit the Cowtown Coliseum to catch a live rodeo. The area is full of old Western charm, great BBQ, and unforgettable energy.

Day 4 – A Day of Nature & Lakes
We’d relax a bit with a lakeside day—perhaps White Rock Lake or Lake Lewisville—for a peaceful picnic, paddleboarding, or just enjoying the Texas sun. In the evening, we’d try some Tex-Mex in the Bishop Arts District.

Day 5 – Austin Adventure
Road trip! We’d head south to Austin, where we’d spend the day by the Colorado River, stroll down South Congress Avenue, and enjoy live music at night. If the weather’s great, maybe a dip in Barton Springs Pool too!

Day 6 – Oklahoma Waterfalls Escape
We’d go beyond Texas for a day and take a short drive to the Turner Falls Park in Oklahoma. The waterfalls and natural swimming areas are absolutely magical—it’s like a hidden oasis.

Day 7 – Chill & Celebrate
We’d wrap up the week with brunch back in Forney, some last-minute local shopping, and a relaxing evening at home with good food, good music, and a toast to memories made.

North Texas (and its surroundings) has so much to offer—from cowboy culture and city lights to rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. It’s the perfect mix of fun, history, and natural beauty. And sharing all that with someone I love would make it even more special.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, we give thanks to God for guiding us every step of the way. We are also deeply grateful to our parents, who gave us the best education and raised us with perseverance and determination to achieve our goals, always believing in us. Likewise, we thank our families, siblings, and friends, who have been a constant support and source of encouragement.

We want to give a very special thanks to each of our clients who have trusted our work and supported us throughout these long years. And of course, to every dog who, with their love, can turn a gray day into a bright one. They fill our daily lives with love, and that love is what we reflect in every visit.
