April 9, 2014 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 19 F CUS on Midland Park Businesses Le Chien: affordable luxury for your best friend T wenty years ago Will Ruckel left a successful career in the family business to concentrate on his number one love: pet styling and care. He graduated from Nash Academy, the top pet grooming school in the country, and, after working in the pet grooming industry for some time, he returned to teach there for over a decade. In the process he acquired valuable experience and innovative techniques to pass on to his customers. In 2008 he opened Le Chien (French for the dog), a state-of-the-art pet groom- ing salon in Midland Park to bring his level of care and expertise to area pets, specializing in small breed dogs. At Le Chien, Ruckel offers breed standard to pet clips as well as retail items. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable about pets and their owners’ needs. Bringing into play his teaching experi- ence, he takes the time to listen to his clients’ requests and to explain exactly what will best benefit their pet. Daycare, at half-day and full-day rates, is available with a secure out- Will Ruckel and Rosie door play area, where dogs can unwind between grooming services or a day of socializing with their friends, making for a relaxed pet when at home with the family that evening. Stop by to tour his spotless facility and share your interests with him. “We are an affordable luxury for your best friend,” Ruckel says. “I treat your dog as my own, and that is very good indeed,” he adds. The front retail area, where Rosie, his own Bichon, acts as hostess, is stocked with pet accessories, including seasonal apparel, gifts for animals of all sizes and animal lovers, dog treats, cards, CDs and educational materials. Le Chien is located at 26 Central Ave. in the Wortendyke section of Midland Park and is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Tues. thru Sat. Call 201-447-WOOF (9663) for further information or to schedule an appointment so your best friend can get the pampering he or she deserves. Nuzzi Chiropractic Family & Sports Center D r.
