Happy Pooch Styling & Spa

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Melissa at Happy Pooch. We adopted Oscar from the Whatcom Humane Society in September and he is very reactive to new people because he is partially blind. I really needed to get his nails trimmed and the vet recommended Happy Pooch. I was able to make an appointment very easily. I had explained about Oscar’s reactivity so she gave us an appointment at the end of the day when there wouldn’t be a bunch of clients or dogs around. I brought Oscar in, and as predicted, he barked at Melissa and her assistant, Madelyn. Melissa was very very patient with Oscar, giving him treats and speaking to him calmly and gently. She knew exactly how to work with him!! She led us to a back room where it was quiet and we wouldn’t encounter any other “triggers”. She really took her time letting Oscar relax and we were eventually able to get his nails clipped with lots of treats and encouragement! I am so grateful for Melissa. She is very experienced and very kind! We bought a punchcard and Oscar will return for regular “PETicures”!

We took our puppy (Rico) here after getting a recommendation from my sister. They have a puppy service that gets them used to being groomed. I was so very impressed and satisfied with Happy Pooch. Rico was so soft and fluffy and the staff was so very sweet and you can tell they legit care for the fur-babies. I’ll use Happy Pooch from here on out.

All I’m going to say about this place is they make you feel like you’re a massive inconvenience to them every time you walk through their door. They do a decent job but don’t make you feel very welcomed. Being friendly and kind goes a long way. Cheers 🍻

Amazing people. Fantastic grooming services. They love out dog and it shows. They also carry high quality products.

My pound puppy; Jojo is a very timid dog, but he doesn't mind going to happy pooch, the are kind and patient with him, and I appreciate that greatly.
