Donna Criss
Grande Cache, AB
Little Critters Bed & Biscuit in Grande Cache is owned and operated by Donna Criss. Originally, Donna’s idea was to start a four-kennel business out of her home. After some encouragement from her husband and friends her idea grew to opening a larger facility.
Putting together a start up plan and working with Community Futures West Yellowhead, she opened her business in May 2014. She hasn’t looked back since.
Donna has built her business from one small business idea of boarding kennels into a thriving business. She’s expanded her business services to include retail sales, pet grooming as well as animal control for the hamlet of Grande Cache. Over the last seven years, Little Critters Bed & Biscuit has tripled in size!
When asked, Donna says her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs and new business owners would be “Don’t think you can't do it, start young and do something you love”.
She also added “Community Futures West Yellowhead is a wonderful organization for people seeking support and guidance, not only with starting a business, but also continued support with your business needs. Community Futures West Yellowhead was essential to my success!”
