I have always hated to leave my pup during her grooming appointments so this was such an amazing idea to bring to hickory. My dog is also a very nervous girl but Wendy did such an amazing job with my pup, she took the time to make sure she was calm before she started to groomed her. Highly recommend Tails and Ales to other dog parents in the area!

I showed up to this vets office without an appointment asking if they could kindly put my dog down. The initial response was of course they could not. My dog was not a patient nor did they have availability. It's a Friday. They were busy, of course. They ultimately changed their mind for my dog's sake. She was in pain. They made room we came back later. The doctor and the assistant confirmed it was time for her. I'm the one that had procrastinated, sadly. So I am most thankful to the staff, the doctor and all those who made a horrible situation just better. They also offer cremation services and she's now back home with me. Thank you.
