Kris Virde-Owner & Operator of My Three Dogs
Kris Virde was 1st introduced into the dog business when she took a job assisting a local dog trainer. While she learned plenty about dog behavior and training techniques, she was uncomfortable with the amount of force being used upon the dogs to train them and what happened when the owners weren’t around. Knowing this wasn’t the right way to treat dogs, she moved onto the local Veterinary Emergency Room to continue her canine education. During her work at the emergency room she was educated in all aspects of canine health, nutrition, first aid, and medicine. Striving to learn more, she also began working alongside a prominent groomer where she learned about the benefits of consistent grooming and how to properly handle dogs of various sizes and types. After learning all she could from both the emergency room and the grooming salon, Kris began her own petsitting and dogwalking business. Drawing on the inspiration of her own three dogs; Dixie, Elvis, and Tippy, it was only right to name her business “My Three Dogs”. Though her business was a great success, she felt unhappy that these great dogs were all alone during the day and secluded from other dogs except for the brief periods she walked them. She then began to work part time at a Doggie Daycare to learn more about the business of daycare for dogs. While Kris gained a lot of knowledge she was still unsatisfied with the local daycares’ method of caging the dogs and only allowing them out for brief periods of play time. After much trial & error and searching for the perfect place, My Three Dogs Doggie Daycare was opened in June 2007 becoming the only cageless daycare in the lowcountry area. You can find Kris at My Three Dogs feeling blessed every day to be doing something she loves and believes in so much.
