Welcome to Happy Tails
At Happy Tails Pet Salon, we know every dog and their owner have a special story and unique needs. We're all about getting to know you both and making sure those needs are met with love and care.
​
We build long-term relationships, providing one-on-one attention in a completely cage-free, stress-free environment. It's not just about one grooming session. We want your pet to look forward to every visit. We are more than just a grooming service. We're your pet's home away from home.

Meet Dani
Hi! I'm Dani, and I'm so glad you're here.
Dogs have been my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they weren't just pets, they were family. My Shih Tzu Koah is convinced he's human, and honestly? I don't argue with him! That lifelong love is what led me to become a groomer 15 years ago and inspired me to create Happy Tails Pet Salon.
​
I started Happy Tails because I believe grooming should be about more than just getting the job done. It should be a positive, calming experience that your dog actually looks forward to. After 15 years of grooming (11 in Indiana and 4 here in beautiful Wilmington) I've learned that the best grooms happen when you slow down, pay attention, and treat each dog like the individual they are.
​
The best part of my job? When dogs that used to be nervous start wagging their tails when they see me. Or when a dog finally relaxes and gives me those sweet thank-you kisses. Some of my regulars get SO excited to come that their owners can't even say my name around them without triggering the zoomies!
​
Whether your dog is wiggly, shy, senior, or just needs a gentle touch, I'd be honored to meet you both.
