We are Albert & Yvonne Guibert, the Pawprietors of Groovy Cats & Dogs. We are so glad you found us!

We feel very lucky to have found each other, and we knew from the start of our relationship that we wanted to combine our strengths to build a business together.

We married in November of 2005 and in August of 2006, Groovy Cats & Dogs was "born." We have 5 human children between us. Al has 3 grown sons Daniel, Derek and Dustin from a previous marriage. Yvonne has 2 beautiful school-aged girls Ariana and Roshan from a previous marriage.

Hello! My name is Yvonne. Thanks so much for stopping by to visit.

I love chatting with pet parents like you about wellness and nutrition for pets. I have over 20 years of marketing experience working for corporate America, focused primarily in the healthcare industry. I have a passion for event marketing and I love developing fun and educational events for Groovy customers and their pets. I still do some marketing consulting for a handful of marketing clients. However, my head and my heart are with Groovy every day. It has been a very interesting journey so far, and I look forward to evolving with the pet industry - one of the few business segments that continues to grow despite our sluggish economy. I enjoy finding new products and resources for Groovy customers.  My favorite thing to do when not working at Groovy is to pack up the car and one or more of our beloved Chihuahuas and go on a road trip! I find unplanned, spontaneous trips to be the most fun. I love to write about and share my adventures with pet owners who like traveling with their pets.

Hi! My name is Al. Glad you found us.

I maintain a full-time job in the lawn and garden industry, so I'm your "Sunday" guy, unless I'm traveling for business. I'm an honest-to-goodness "hippie!" I like to take credit for coming up with the "Groovy" name (although Yvonne believes it was a joint effort - Ha!). I would have attended Woodstock, if I had the funds to make the trip, but alas, I was a college student and couldn't quite manage it. I like to say I attended "in spirit." Many of my college buddies at St. Leo University in San Antonio, Florida (just north of Tampa) were from New York and did attend the famous concert event, so I heard lots of stories about it. We have a copy of the Woodstock poster on the wall of our store. My favorite thing to do when not working at Groovy is to tease my wife (because it is so much fun!) and to play golf, preferably with one or more of my sons.
