Mosa Pet Spa has been delighting pet owners and their furry companions since its Downtown Cary location opened in 2023. Founded by Amanda and her husband Ernesto, this charming spot specializes in personalized grooming and bathing services for dogs, cats, and even pocket pets like rabbits, ferrets, and hamsters. What sets Mosa apart is its commitment to a stress-free, one-on-one experience using all-natural, holistic products. Whether you’re a local resident or just passing through, Mosa Pet Spa offers a welcoming haven where pets are treated like family. We recently chatted with owner Amanda to learn more about what makes this business a true gem in our community.
Mosa’s Services
At the core of Mosa Pet Spa is a philosophy centered on individualized care. Amanda explains, “Our one-on-one grooming model is rooted in one belief: every pet deserves a calm, personal, stress-free experience.”
This means from drop-off to pick-up, your pet enjoys undivided attention from an experienced groomer, building trust that’s especially vital for anxious pups, seniors, puppies, and rescues. Paired with all-natural, holistic products, the focus is on long-term skin and coat health, avoiding harsh chemicals for pets of all breeds and sizes, including those adorable pocket pets.
Mosa’s menu of services is quite comprehensive too. The full grooming experience includes specialty shampoos, blow-dries, brush-outs, nail filing, ear cleaning, and gland expression, with customizable styles to fit your lifestyle.
For breeds prone to matting, dematting and hand stripping services preserve natural coat texture and health (favorites among terrier and spaniel owners), who report cleaner, more vibrant coats and fewer skin issues.
Skin therapy packages stand out for their transformative impact, helping pets with conditions such as itchiness, dryness, or inflammation through tailored 3-6 month programs. Amanda shares the impact of what a difference it can make:
“We’ve seen so many pets come in itchy or uncomfortable and leave happier, brighter, and finally at ease. One rescue pup with chronic inflammation even relaxed so much during her session that she fell asleep during her paw trim, something she’d always struggled with. Her foster cried happy tears picking her up. Moments like that remind us why we do what we do.”
Bathing options range from luxury experiences to low-shed treatments that target undercoats. And for a fun twist, creative add-ons like natural color treatments, gems, feathers, and pup paw polish let pets express their personality.
“One pup strutted out with a bright blue tail and matching paws for her family’s birthday party and completely stole the show. Another little white dog comes in every season for her signature “theme” color, pastel in spring, candy-corn for Halloween, peppermint stripes at Christmas, and it’s become a neighborhood tradition everyone looks forward to.”
These services aren’t just about grooming, but also about boosting well-being and creating joyful moments with our furry friends.
Their Storefront
Mosa Pet Spa’s adorable storefront goes beyond a standard waiting area. It’s a boutique brimming with pet essentials that capture the cozy, home-away-from-home vibe. Amanda and her team curate items from local makers, including handmade bows, collars, healthy treats, and enrichment toys, making it a one-stop shop for spoiling your pet.
The star of the storefront? Mosa Treats, which have become a community staple. These goodies are stocked in jars at dog-friendly spots around Downtown Cary, from breweries to shops and eateries, adding a touch of delight to everyday outings.
Looking ahead, Amanda teases an exciting new offering: custom monthly wellness boxes.
“[They’re] created specifically for each pet based on what we know they love and actually use. Our clients have always asked for recommendations, and these boxes let us hand-select items we know will bring joy, enrichment, and comfort,” says Amanda. “They’ll be available for pick-up during grooming , boutique shopping or daycare visits, a little monthly surprise curated with love. We’re polishing up the final details, and we cannot wait to share them with everyone.”
It’s the perfect way to extend Mosa’s personalized touch for your pet, and soon you can take it home with you.
Mosa and the Downtown Cary Community
Mosa Pet Spa’s story is deeply intertwined with Downtown Cary. What began as a small operation grew due to overwhelming demand and client support.
“We honestly didn’t plan to grow, we were happy staying small,” says Amanda. “But the demand in the area for our unique certified staff and the incredible support from our original clients pushed us to expand so we could take in more families instead of turning them away. When we found the little storefront in Downtown Cary, we fell in love with its charm. We made sure it still carried the same cozy, home-away-from-home feeling as our first location so our long-time customers would feel right at home.”
After being in Downtown Cary for roughly two years now, Amanda emphasizes how the community’s enthusiasm has shaped Mosa.
“The community here is a huge part of who we are. We love featuring local makers in our boutique, from handmade bows and collars to healthy treats, enrichment toys, and pet-care goods. We also partner with a rotation of rescues, offering free grooming for all fosters so they can look and feel their best on their way to their forever homes.”
