Fast forward almost four years since our initial meeting and she has gone on to not only charm the Dragon's Den investors but secure one helluva FIERCE business deal.
Fabulous Furballs is an upscale pet grooming shop that Krista launched four years ago after complaining to her husband that there was nowhere to buy her precious pup a cashmere sweater (not gonna lie that seems extravagant and odd to me but what the hell do I know?).
She opened up FF in Sherwood Park and evolved it into a Grooming Academy, franchised into Edmonton, St. Albert and Calgary, made some saavy business decisions and kicked some serious ass. Not surprising, the girl came from a high-powered financial management firm in Las Vegas before moving here to be with her husband.

Did I mention she was on an Animal Grooming Reality show on Animal Planet? All while wearing feather boas and Stilletos.
Oh and she started her own reality show based on her store.
