    I was completely blown away at first with the personalized questions from Shelly about my Lagotto Romagnolo Lucy before she even arrived. Upon arrival, the location, safety and double checking with calls regarding updates questions was so appreciated. Being new to the area, finding a groomer or bath there that is reasonable, not mobile, and price to match this intimate service has led me to this review. Thank you OC Happy Tails!

    I've been taking my dog here since the day I adopted him from a shelter. This is his favorite place to be now and he lives the humans there. He has a LOT of anxiety from his past situation and yet this is his happy place. He gets excited when I tell him, "Guess what?! You're going to Happy Tails!" He jumps up and down. When he comes home he smells like a blueberry and his coat feels like a mink coat! I trust that they are treating him so well since he loves coming back. Trust me when I say that he would not hesitate to let me know otherwise. I sometimes bring my little dog to for a neat & tidy and he looks stunning after his bath! I'm very grateful for everyone here.

    Leo is so happy after being pampered at OC Happy Tails Dog Grooming!

    Bravo to Shelley and the staff at OC Happy Tails Dog Grooming in Dana Point, CA. They are top-notch, absolutely amazing groomers and wonderful human beings. Very knowledgeable in their profession and cares so much about their fur clients as well as their parents. So attentive to all our grooming needs. What I absolutely love about it is that they listen to what I want for my Leo and they stay in communication via text if appointments need to be rescheduled or if running late or coming early...very professional and prompt! The staff is truly the grooming whisperer's, as they have mastered the technique of making every pet comfortable with their groom. My Leo can get nervous and frightened when groomed and they have an uncanny ability to determine his behavior and use techniques to keep him calm, safe and very comfortable. This allows it to be a fun and satisfying experience for me, the pet owner. Shelly and her staff are very knowledgeable and experienced with a variety of breeds. Familiar with various cuts and styles. Their service is reliable and they always listen to my needs. They always do a fabulous job with the best care along with the most adorable haircuts, leaving my Leo with a shiny, mat-free coat to meticulously trimmed nails. OC Happy Tails Dog Grooming goes above and beyond the call of duty and provides a wonderful service. I would recommend them to people looking for excellence when having their pets groomed, as they provide excellent service, contributing to your pet's overall happiness and well-being. The best groomer in Orange County...hand down!

    My puppy had an awesome first grooming visit at Happy Tails. Shelly was the best and her team took such great care of my pup for his bath and tidy appointment! We can't wait to go back!

    We absolutely love OC Happy Tails Dog Grooming! Our dog, Abbie, has been going there for several years and we could not be happier. It took us a while to find the right groomer because her fur is high maintenance and requires frequent brushing, washing and grooming. Shelly, Melissa and the staff truly care for your "baby" and we highly recommend them! Thank you! -Abbie's family

    This is the worst grooming place ever! I had such a bad experience taking my puppy for grooming there. I was told that I have to leave my puppy there for at least 3 hours although I didn't want to. When I was back to take him he was shaking his head consistently! When I asked why, the answer was because air is going through his ears. But that was not the case!! I saw bruise and cut on both of his ears and took him to his vet right away. My puppy was depressed after that day :( Don't ever take your beloved dog to OC Happy Tail! They are specializing on making your dog Unhappy! Also they are so proud that there is a waver so they are not responsible for anything! Horrible!!
