To our wonderful community and fellow pet lovers,
We are reaching out today with heavy hearts. As many of you know, we recently experienced the heartbreaking loss of a pet who was in our care. There are truly no words to fully capture the sorrow we feel. We are devastated, and our deepest, most sincere condolences go out to the family during this incredibly painful time.
As pet owners and animal lovers ourselves, we understand that your pets are family. The bond you share with them is sacred, and we take the responsibility of caring for them to heart every single day. We know that this news is deeply upsetting, and we share in the sadness that many of you are feeling. In times of loss, the collective heartbreak of our pet-loving community is felt by us all. This loss has affected our entire team profoundly.
Our mission has always been to provide a space where pets are treated with the highest level of professional care. To maintain this standard of excellence, we have always operated with rigorous safety as our foundation
We are dedicated to continuous improvement and growth. We encourage and appreciate any and all client feedback we receive and always take client feedback seriously. This is a vital component of our daily growth and development.
Our safety protocols are followed at every stage of the grooming process, as a core principle of professional pet care. By doing so, we protect the well being of the animals in our care, but also the safety of our trusted team members.

Merry weekend before Christmas everyone!!!

Just a quick reminder:
We all know holidays mean emotions, stress, and chaos are at an all time high! Tomorrow Saturday the 20th will be the last Saturday before the holidays.

That being said, we are going to be busier than Santa’s workshop tomorrow! Pups might be with us longer than usual due to the high volume of appointments we will be tending to. We are READY!!!

We ask that all of you be as patient as possible as we work on making your furry companions feel their best and look their best! We will get them back home and in your laps as soon as we possibly can. With over 30 dogs coming through our door tomorrow it is going to be a long and rewarding day for everyone!

We can’t wait to make this our salons record breaking weekend and we are absolutely so beyond grateful for all of you!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

(And yes, kitty cats are always the ones who rule our speed of the day, mostly due to needing cat naps during their grooms 😴) it really is tough being pampurrrred

We wanted to take a moment to talk about a service we offer in our salon that not many other grooming salons around the area do: hand stripping!

Q: what is hand stripping?

A: hand stripping is a grooming technique used for wire like coats to keep them from becoming soft and damaged like a normal clipper would do

Q: why is it not common practice in every salon?

A: hand stripping takes a lot of time and skill to accomplish, some newer groomers, or even those that just simply don’t have the time or skill set, will not offer this service. Not every groomer is taught the same techniques!

Q: how is hand stripping done?

A: hand stripping is done by using a small handheld tool and thinning the wire hairs versus just cutting off the length with a clipper or shears

Q: does hand stripping hurt?

A: hand stripping does not hurt, there is a little bit of pulling done to thin the hairs, but the sensation is a lot like using a small brush on the coat! That being the case, if done too short, improperly, or no proper after care by the groomer, it can lead to skin irritation and the dog being uncomfortable! Using soothing shampoos and following the proper guidelines can really make a difference on a dogs comfort!

Q: how often does a dog need handstripped?

A: it all depends on how fast a coat grows, but typically hand stripping clients come in anywhere from quarterly in a year to once or twice a year!

Q: how do I know if my dog needs hand stripping?

A: always ask questions if you’re unsure! Our staff is well educated and happy to answer any questions you may have! The most common breeds for hand stripping are:

Irish wolf hounds
Airedale Terriers
Wired haired Dachshunds
Cairn Terriers
Wire fox Terriers
Welsh Terriers
Schnauzers (show quality type hair cuts)

And so many more!

It’s been a little quiet on here from the Happy Tails crew, summer means warmer weather and our four legged companions need extra TLC to beat the heat ☀️

Each week we will be sharing the spotlight on some of the many breeds we see in our salon, along with interesting facts and ways to care for each dogs’ coat health ✂️

Stay tuned for our first debut and here’s a hint:
They’re one of the fuzziest dogs we have visit us and normally have an all white appearance!

Any guesses?
