How many of your customers own pets? I have been to a few grooming places including one where you wash the dogs yourself and didn't find it noisy or smelly or anything negative. They have been clean. I take my cats to be groomed and the place seems very clean. This could be a good thing too. You could ask questions about the planned business. Is it going to be an upscale pet grooming salon? I can understand your initial reaction. I'm past that and I'm skeptical. You might be overreacting b/c you are obviously emotionally attached. It's not a negative thing. It's normal as far as I'm concerned. Wish you the best and hope it works out. Speak up. Ask questions. Get the facts first. Don't rush to judgment. If you are wrong then you will look like a fool.

I recommend you contact the company you are leasing from. Be sure that if they accept this tenant that there are safeguards in place. You would be best to get something in writing to make it legal.

That's a pretty valid objection. Maybe say that you don't like the landlord/company that manages the property your spa is in. She may have already heard from others that business is good in this neighborhood, so I don't think I'd take that angle. Do what you have to. That’s a pretty valid objection.

Fido and his mama getting their beauty treatments at the same time. You have no legal rights to make demands of your landlord about this, and there could be MANY far worse businesses than a dog grooming salon next door. It isn't a SPCA kennel, after all.

I've been to many a pet grooming salon and never heard or smelled anything outside or next door. Go to a few grooming salons and visit the store/business next door or stand outside and see what you can smell/hear to calm your fears. She has every right to lease in that neighborhood as you do. If you do something unethical, it will come back to bite you on the *** eventually. Hairballs and smells and barking coming through the walls?

Personally, I think you two could work together quite nicely, Someone could get treated and relax at your spa while their dog is being groomed next door. There is a lot of compatibility there actually. How are people going to hear barking and smell dogs through the wall?
