A 10-year veteran of the pet grooming industry became a first-time business owner with the May 1 opening of The Furologist LLC. Brittny Knapp launched the company at 193 S. Marshall St., Ste. F, in Rogersville. She worked the past four years at another Rogersville grooming company, The Pet Cottage LLC. Knapp said she pays $750 a month on her  two-year lease with Marc Strecker of 193 S. Marshall Investors LLC. Startup costs for the 1,200-square-foot shop were roughly $12,000, Knapp said. She is the lone employee, handling dog baths, haircuts and other services, including nail filing and teeth brushing. Grooming packages are priced by the dog breed, size and coat type and length, she said. Prices range $45-$55 for small breeds, $55-$65 for medium-size dogs and $75-$100 for most large breeds.
