Happy Tails in Porirua provides Wellington dogs with relaxing and rejuvenating grooming services. Although we cater to most breeds, the experienced team understand the unique needs of all breeds and their requirements. We also offer customised puppy grooms to gently introduce your pup to regular grooming visits.

We use only premium products and equipment for a thorough and safe grooming experience. From bathing and brushing to trimming and shaving, we tailor our services to each dog's individual personality and requirements. While we do offer a stand-alone grooming service, our doggy daycare pups often schedule routine grooming after a busy day of fun at our purpose-built daycare facility.

Let us help you keep your dog looking and feeling their best. Contact us today to schedule a grooming appointment today!

Why is dog grooming important for happy, healthy pups?

Having your dog groomed can provide numerous benefits for both you and your furry friend. Some of the key benefits include:

Improved hygiene: Regular grooming helps keep your dog clean and free from dirt, debris, and parasites, which can cause irritation and infection.
Better skin and coat health: Grooming can help remove dead hair, prevent matting, and distribute oils evenly throughout the coat, keeping it healthy and looking great.
Early health detection: During grooming sessions, a professional groomer can often spot signs of skin conditions, ear infections, or other health issues and alert you to these problems early, enabling prompt treatment.
Reduced shedding: Regular grooming helps remove loose hair, reducing the amount of fur your dog sheds and the amount of vacuuming you need to do.
