🐾 New Grooming Options to Fit Your Budget! 🐾

Hey y’all — it’s Ralena with Happy Tails Grooming 💈🐶

I know things are tight for a lot of folks right now, and full spa grooms aren’t always doable — so I’ve rolled out a new à la carte pricing system to help make grooming affordable again.

✔️ Want just a bath and dry?
Starts at $15 for small dogs (no nails, no ears — just the basics).

✔️ Want to skip nail trims or ear cleaning because you do those at home? Cool! That saves you money.

✔️ Got a few mats or tangles you want to handle on your own? I can skip those too and lower your price.

👌✌️💬 I offer free consultations so we can make a plan that fits your pup and your budget. Grooming is based on time — and I’ll only do what you need done, nothing you don’t!

Prices that used to run $60–$85+?
We can trim them down to $45–$60+ depending on what you need.

👉We do still offer the all inclusive full spa experience we are known for those that want the deluxe treatment

💡 Quick facts:
✨ It’s just me, Ralena, grooming (haircuts) on all dogs myself.
✨ Kirsten (my bather of 6+ years) is still with me.
✨ We just brought on a new student-turned-assistant from the college intern program.
✨ If you’ve never had me personally groom your dog, give me a chance — no rotating groomers, no surprises.
💸We have some sweet specials for clients giving the shop another try 👏 $20 off two grooms!
🐸New clients get 15% off our full service packages!

📍NEW LOCATION in Lowgap coming soon as well as the Dobson location!

My rescue dog Baxter has been terrified of fireworks since the day I brought him home. Every Fourth of July turned into a nightmare—him shaking under the bed, panting so hard I worried his heart would give out, refusing to eat for days after.

Last year was the worst. He broke through a window screen trying to escape the noise. $300 vet bill, anxiety meds that made him a zombie, and me sitting on the bathroom floor with him for six hours straight while he trembled in my arms.

This year, I was dreading it all over again. Then two days ago, I saw this random tip in a pet group (I've been on there lately ordering handmade dog beds and treats from amazing crafters). Someone posted about using tennis balls in the dryer to create white noise that masks fireworks.

I thought it sounded absolutely insane. But I was desperate enough to try anything.

So tonight, before the fireworks started, I threw six tennis balls, an old sneaker, and a knotted towel into the dryer. Turned off the heat. Let it run.

The steady thumping sound filled the house. And I waited, holding my breath, for Baxter's usual panic to start.

Nothing.

The first firework went off. He lifted his head, looked around... and went back to sleep.

I actually started crying. For the first time in three years, my dog is sleeping peacefully on July 4th instead of hiding and shaking.

He's been passed out on the couch for two hours now, completely unbothered, while the neighborhood explodes around us.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones that save you. If your dog struggles tonight, try this. It might just change everything.
