At Happy Tails, we believe taking care of your dog’s grooming should be simple, not stressful. That’s why we’ve designed our convenient dog grooming services to fit seamlessly into any schedule with 24/7 care, combined services, and proximity to the airport. Now, it’s easier than ever for St. Louis pet parents to keep their dogs clean, healthy, and happy.

You have a job, a family, a calendar that’s already full, and maybe a commute that eats up more of your day than you’d like. Somewhere between all of that, your pup still needs a bath, a nail trim, and a good brush-out. If squeezing in a grooming appointment feels like just one more thing on an already overflowing to-do list, you’re in the right place. We built our dog grooming services around real life in St. Louis.

Why is grooming such a hassle for pet parents?

The trouble is fitting it into your schedule. For a lot of pet owners, dog grooming means you have to find a groomer with hours that actually match your workday. Drive across town for a separate appointment. Take time off work to drop off and pick up your dog. Coordinate grooming, boarding, and daycare as three completely separate errands. None of that is easy when you’re already juggling a full plate. And when grooming feels like a hassle, it’s tempting to push it off, which isn’t good for your dog’s coat, skin, or overall health. According to a study by the ASPCA, 92% of pet owners sampled reported at least one barrier to maintaining their pet’s grooming routine. So how does Happy Tails remove those barriers?

How does Happy Tails make grooming more convenient?

Happy Tails makes grooming work around your schedule with 24-hour availability, grooming add-ons, and our location near the airport. Our pet care facility is open 24 hours a day, so you’re not boxed into typical, narrow hours of operation. Clients can also add grooming onto any boarding stay or daycare day. Instead of making a separate trip across town, your dog can play, rest, and get pampered all in one visit. For those already boarding with us, we’re conveniently located near St. Louis Lambert International Airport, which makes us a natural stop before or after a trip.

How can clients take advantage of this?

Making grooming convenient is easy once you know your options. Here’s how St. Louis pet parents get the most out of Happy Tails:

Bundle it with dog boarding: If you’re heading out of town, add grooming to your dog’s boarding stay so they’re freshly bathed and ready to go the moment you pick them up.
Pair it with dog daycare: Drop your dog off for a regular day of play and request grooming as an add-on, so our team handles it for you while you’re at work.
Use our 24-hour availability: Early flight? Late meeting? Drop off or pick up whenever it works for you, not just during a traditional 9-to-5 window.
Plan around travel: Since we’re located near the airport, it’s simple to combine a grooming appointment with a boarding stay before or after your trip.
Book online in advance: Simply contact us to reserve your dog’s grooming service whenever it’s convenient for you, day or night.

Why is Happy Tails’ grooming salon special?

At Happy Tails, grooming is about more than a bath and a haircut. Our expert groomers have years of experience across various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. They take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, adjusting their approach to help nervous pups feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. We prioritize gentle handling, clear communication with pet parents, and attention to every detail, from coat care to nail trimming and ear cleaning. Because we see many of our guests regularly, we’re also able to notice changes in their skin, coat, or overall condition and share those observations with owners. The result is a grooming experience that supports your dog’s wellbeing as a whole, beyond their skin and coat.
