Why We're FabulousWhen Krista Castellarin relocated to the Edmonton area from Las Vegas, Nevada in January 2007, she wanted to purchase some doggy couture sweaters for her freezing Yorkshire Terrier, Gamble. Unfortunately, the selection was limited and what she did find was cheaply made overseas- nothing like what her spoiled pooch was used to. Instead of tolerating what was in the market, Krista set about creating a luxurious boutique with only the finest pet couture and establishing Fabulous Furballs as the first truly high end pet boutique & grooming salon in the Edmonton area. Fabulous Furballs will be the exclusive carriers of doggy couture from Krista’s extensive travels to Europe, Australia, Japan, and the United States. |

Who We Are |
|
| KRISTA CASTELLARIN, Founder & Owner Prior to opening Fabulous Furballs in August 2007, Krista was a life long animal lover and consumer of all things luxury for her pets. Upon relocating to the Edmonton area from Las Vegas, Nevada, Krista discovered that there was no pet spa or high end boutique that met her fussy Yorkshire Terrier's standards. Thus, Fabulous Furballs was born! Krista's greatest pride is that each furball we are entrusted with is treated as our own- it is not uncommon to come in and find your pampered pooch relaxing behind our counter or on our manager's lap post spa treatment instead of languishing in a cage. |
