Happy Tail Service

Happy Tail Service is a family-owned dog grooming salon on the Pacific Highway in Gordon, on Sydney's Upper North Shore, where a wash, tidy or full clip is treated as a proper spa session rather than a quick once-over. Every groom starts with an organic shampoo wash, blow dry and brush, and builds up through face tidies, nail and ear care to full-body clipping, with optional extras like de-matting, de-shedding and a tooth brush available on the day. Pricing is set by coat size, so owners of everything from a small Maltese or Poodle through to a Golden Retriever or Husky can see where their dog sits before they book. Alongside the grooming bench the team runs dog daycare and boarding, hosts dog birthday parties with dog-friendly cakes, shoots pet photography and bakes its own homemade treats, which makes it a fitting choice for owners who want one familiar place that knows their dog. Drop-offs are asked for by 9am so there is unhurried time to do the coat justice. It is a warm, pet-first salon for North Shore families who want their dog pampered and sent home looking the part.
