At Doggy Daydreamz, everything began with a soggy, stubborn yellow Lab named Rosco—and a whole lot of love. Back in 2014, our founders, Heather and Jason Harmon, were wrestling (literally) with giving Rosco a bath. He hated water. He hated crates. And he really hated steps. What should’ve been a quick clean-up turned into a full-body workout and a soggy living room. It wasn’t pretty.

Tired of the hassle and heartache (and wet dog smell), we dreamed up something better: a self-service dog wash and grooming salon designed to be as gentle, welcoming, and drama-free as possible. No crates. No scary stairs. Just calm tubs, caring groomers, and plenty of treats. That dream became Doggy Daydreamz, and since then, we’ve transformed “oh no, it’s bath day” into “YAY, let’s get clean!” for thousands of pups and their people.

But we didn’t stop at shampoos and squeaky toys. In the salon, we heard every grooming question imaginable—from “How do I detangle this doodle before he becomes a mop?” to “What even is hand-stripping?” So, we teamed up with Brittany Baird and Christine Chang (fellow dog whisperers and grooming pros), and launched TheDogBuzz.com—your go-to hub for breed-specific grooming guides, step-by-step advice, and the occasional deep dive into doggy psychology. It’s like having your favorite groomer in your back pocket—minus the flying fur.

Then came The Dog Buzz on YouTube, where we rolled up our sleeves, grabbed our clippers, and hit record. Whether you’re wondering how to trim a poodle’s topknot without tears, or how to make your bath-phobic beagle less dramatic, our videos break it down with humor, heart, and real-life salon footage (yes, we’re talking about Rosco cameos). If it works on him, trust us—it’ll work on your pup.

Still, something was missing. As much as we loved sharing our grooming secrets, we couldn’t find a pet shampoo we truly believed in. The “natural” ones didn’t clean well, and the “effective” ones weren’t gentle. So, we did what dog parents do best when they can’t find what they need: we made it ourselves.

Enter Cologio—our premium line of pet shampoos and grooming products crafted by professional groomers with high standards, big hearts, and lots of firsthand experience. Named in honor of our black Lab and inspired by the cozy, clean scent of a just-washed pup, Cologio blends safe, cruelty-free, biodegradable ingredients (like Manuka honey!) with salon-grade performance. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, strong enough for muddy paws, and honest-to-goodness made with love.

Today, we’re still the same family (plus a few more team members and dogs), doing what we love: making dog care easier, kinder, and way more joyful. Whether you stop by Doggy Daydreamz for a scrub, visit TheDogBuzz.com for grooming gold, binge-watch The Dog Buzz on YouTube, or bring home Cologio for a spa day at home—we’re right there with you.

Because we’re not just a brand. We’re your dog-loving neighbors. Your behind-the-scenes groomers. The family that turned one water-fearing Lab into the heart of something beautiful.

And we’re so glad you’re here.
