Hi, We're Reino Canino

Alex Molero

Founder & Pet Groomer

​

Hallo allemaal! My name is Alex. I know many of you will recognize me. I´m the founder of Reino Canino and in 2019 I transferred the business to my good friend and colleague Nuria. Perhaps you´re wondering why I´m back, right? Well, this is my story. I sold it with the intention of doing what I love more, to buy a farm and make a hotel for dogs.
Due to circumstances with this pandemic that took all of us by surprise my plans didn´t go how I expected. I Love this place so after all I´m very happy to be back. I come from a large family of 11 brothers of which 5 are veterinarians. We grew up on a farm, surrounded by all kinds of animals. Our parents instilled in us love for animals and I remember that since I was a little child I used to take all the puppies and kitten that I found on the street to the farm.
I came to Amsterdam 17 years ago. When I arrived here the first thing I did was apply for a job at Artis Zoo where I wasn´t working for a long time because to see the animals in captivity made me feel sad. I personally think that all living creatures must be free and happy in their habitat. Sometime later I went to Spain and began studying to become a pet groomer, after that I opened Reino Canino. I´m always training and improving, attending seminars, and participating in  shows and competitions where I have the opportunity of meeting people who love the profession as much as I do. My dear customers and friends you´re always welcome in my home, your home as well, Reino Canino where we will always pamper your beloved pet with all our love. 
Big hug! ❤

Hallo allemaal! My name is Lucia, I come from Galicia (Spain) but I have been living abroad for a few years. I am in Amsterdam since 2020 and I feel like I found my new home here.
I always had a big appreciation for animals and that´s way I became vegan a few years ago. After having dogs myself I discovered a passion on my for these furry little four-legged and I decided to change my profession and dedicate my life to the dog grooming world.

Carolina Amaral

Certified Dog Groomer 

​

Hello there! My name is Carolina, I’m 28 years old and I’m Portuguese. I began my dog grooming journey in January of 2019, so I am kind of recent on this area, however, I feel I have a good sensibility to practice this profession with quality, love and patience. My mother’s love for animals became part of my being, my inspiration, and I’m just grateful for that. My experience includes dog & cat shelters volunteering with my mum since childhood, petsitting, dogwalking, a wildlife rescue center volunteering in Thailand, dog handling in dog & cat hotels, canine physiotherapy, veterinary assistance, and finally, I ended up as a dog groomer, because I have this artistic side influence from my father. 
I love photography and manual work, so becoming a dog groomer makes all sense for me ✨🤍 I’ll do my best on my session with your pet, I will take my time and give them a lot of love. I wish you happy moments in your life, along with your fluffy and loyal pet. See you soon? I hope so 🍀
Carolina 🌼
