Introducing Chris Lacquement, a Dallas native with a passion for pet care that goes beyond the ordinary. With over 15 years of hands-on grooming experience, Chris has cultivated lasting connections with both pets and their owners, distinguishing himself through a commitment to providing the highest quality services. What truly sets Chris apart is his unwavering dedication to prioritizing the well-being of pets over financial gains – a pledge encapsulated in the core value of "Humanity over Vanity" at K9 Business Solutions. Another essential value for Chris is being customer-centric, ensuring every client receives personalized attention and care.
Chris is not only an expert in mobile pet grooming but also a seasoned professional in brick-and-mortar pet grooming locations.

At K9 Business Solutions, Chris leverages his expertise to empower pet groomers nationwide, fostering successful businesses rooted in compassion, quality, and customer satisfaction.
Chris embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in 2017, investing $18,000 to launch his first mobile grooming business. Over the next five years, his vision and dedication propelled the business to unprecedented heights, evolving into a fleet of seven vans and five storefronts. Chris achieved significant success beyond mobile grooming, evidenced by his recent sale of the mobile business for nearly $2 million. From humble beginnings in a grooming trailer and an $18,000 investment, K9 Business Solutions has grown into a multi-establishment enterprise, boasting an impressive gross revenue exceeding 4.5 million dollars annually in just five years. With several strategic acquisitions are currently underway, poised to further enhance the company's profitability and market position.

At K9 Business Solutions, Chris Lacquement continues to redefine the pet care industry, offering not just grooming services but an unparalleled commitment to the well-being of furry companions. Join us in experiencing the difference that comes with a true passion for pets and a dedication to quality care.
I have established a nonprofit initiative to honor my mentor and grooming teacher, Mr. Rod Ford, whose profound influence transformed my life and career in the pet grooming industry. Mr. Ford's kindness and traditional teaching methods were instrumental in shaping my skills and success in this field. Without his guidance, I would not have achieved the level of success I enjoy today.
When contemplating how to repay Mr. Ford for his invaluable mentorship, his consistent response was always, "Do not let my grooming methods fade away." Inspired by his words, I have dedicated myself to paying forward his legacy by empowering groomers to excel, much like he did for me. Mr. Ford instilled in me a commitment to quality and customer-centric business practices long before I fully comprehended their significance.
For years, I freely shared the industry knowledge gained under Mr. Ford's tutelage, assisting numerous brick-and-mortar and mobile grooming businesses in our community to thrive without fear of competition. Recently, a mentor suggested a new approach, prompting the creation of this initiative.
This nonprofit aims to provide grooming services and, in some cases, veterinary care to individuals facing health challenges, elderly individuals, those with special needs, and others who require financial support for their pets' needs. We recognize that unexpected health emergencies, chronic conditions, limited income, unemployment, and physical or financial limitations can make it difficult for pet owners to afford essential care for their beloved companions. Additionally, in cases of natural disasters or emergencies, rescued or adopted animals often require immediate veterinary attention. By offering these services, we aim to alleviate the financial burden faced by pet owners in underserved communities or difficult circumstances, ensuring that pets receive the care they need and deserve.
To support this mission, 10% of all money earned from consulting jobs and 100% of all donations will be contributed to the foundation. This financial commitment ensures the sustainability and impact of our efforts in honoring Mr. Rod Ford's legacy of compassion and dedication to animal welfare.
Thank you for considering the significance of this endeavor and the love and care it represents for our community's pets and their owners.
Sincerely,
Chris Lacquement
Founder
