Founded and owned by Chris and Lisa Christensen, our company has steadily grown from its modest origins in a one-car garage operation in Dallas, Texas. Over the course of twenty-two years, Chris Christensen Systems has flourished into a global leader in premium grooming products, offering over 400 meticulously crafted items with new innovations constantly in development.

Today, nestled in a 30,000-square-foot facility in Fairfield, Texas, Chris Christensen Systems stands as the largest employer in the area, with a dedicated team of 30 employees and counting. From this bustling hub of creativity and craftsmanship, we continue to push the boundaries of grooming excellence, driven by our unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.

The heart of our product line encompasses a diverse array of offerings, including all-breed essentials, coat-specific treatments, intensive care solutions, color enhancements, sleek combs, and even a cat-specific grooming line. From handcrafted brushes to professional-grade shears, every item is meticulously designed to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.

At Chris Christensen Systems, product development is a collaborative endeavor guided by a simple yet rigorous philosophy. Each potential addition to our lineup must pass a stringent three-question test:

1. Purpose: Does it serve a purpose for our customers?
2. Industry-leading: Is there a comparable product on the market?
3. Improvement: And most importantly, can we make it better?

Only after meeting these criteria does a product undergo the exhaustive process of testing, refinement, and perfection. With an average of 5 products in development at all times, our product line grows rapidly each year, and we have no intentions of slowing down.

Chris’s boundless passion and enthusiasm for innovation infuse every aspect of our work and remains contagious to this day. Chris, alongside his wife Lisa, remains intimately involved in the product development journey, ensuring that each creation lives up to the exacting standards that define the Chris Christensen name – quality.

Proudly headquartered in Fairfield, Texas, we uphold our commitment to excellence by manufacturing a significant portion of our product line—including over 80% of our liquid products—right here in our state-of-the-art facility.

As we look to the future, our dedication to quality, integrity, and the well-being of animals remains unwavering. Chris Christensen Systems stands as a testament to quality, innovation, and a commitment to serving the needs of pet grooming enthusiasts. Our dedication to core values ensures that every product, service, and interaction with our brand is marked by excellence, passion, and a sense of responsibility. As we continue to evolve and develop new products, our mission remains clear: to provide premium grooming solutions for those who demand the very best.
