Happy Grooming is a neighborhood pet grooming spot tucked into Arlington’s Langston Boulevard, known for its gentle touch and attention to detail, especially with small to medium-sized dogs. It’s the kind of place where pet parents bring their pups not only to look sharp but to feel comfortable and calm throughout the process—a priority clearly reflected in how dogs leave happy and relaxed.

The shop caters mainly to dogs under around 35-45 pounds, with a focus on breeds and mixes that benefit from careful, consistent styling, like doodles and similarly textured coats. Those specific grooming needs, such as the popular teddy bear cut, are handled with a steady hand and pride in craftsmanship. This makes Happy Grooming an ideal choice for locals who are particular about their dog’s look and overall experience.

Locals appreciate the ease of scheduling, sometimes with same-day appointments, and the warm, approachable staff who seem to instinctively know how to soothe nervous or rehomed dogs. This atmosphere, combined with results that keep pets feeling natural rather than over-styled, highlights a balance of skill and empathy. While the shop’s size means larger breeds or very fluffy dogs like Samoyeds might need to find other options nearby, smaller dog owners find a reliable, familiar spot where their pups are treated like part of the family.

Visiting Happy Grooming fits naturally into the rhythm of Arlington pet owners who value a grooming experience that’s straightforward, consistent, and gentle—a practical choice rather than a flashy one. If you’re in the neighborhood with a smaller pup in need of a tidy trim and some calm care, this is the kind of local stop that quietly supports daily life for busy dog families.

This place is perfect. My puppy looks so cute and natural (not overly groomed, you know) and came out so happy and calm too. Couldn't recommend more.

Took our 19 month old rehomed dog here and the staff knew just how to make him comfortable. He had the most adorable haircut and he’s much more comfortable. Thrilled to have found Happy Grooming!

Happy Grooming did an amazing job! Chopper has never been this soft before!!! 10/10 would recommend. Super easy process, they got me in on the same day which I wasn’t expecting and the staff were very nice.

Great groomers!! My baby came out like a brand new dog! But sadly it will be the last time since they told me my dog is too big and their shop is too small for her. So if your dog is 35-45 lbs they probably won’t take your dog or if they’re a samoyed or along those lines. But either way they are amazing and gentle. I super appreciate them!

I have been getting my dog groomed with Happy Grooming for a couple of years now. I will not take my dog anywhere else! I found that many groomers in the area lacked consistency when it comes to grooming doodles and I am very particular about the way I like my dog to look. I was on the hunt for a groomer who can perfect the teddy bear hair cut and I am so pleased to say that is Happy Grooming! They do an incredible job on doodle cuts and more importantly they are always consistent with their cuts. I have never had a bad experience here. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating to your schedule. My dog is comfortable with the staff and never seems stressed or in any discomfort when I pick him up which is incredibly important to me. We will be long time customers here. I would highly recommend Happy Grooming for any of your pet grooming needs!

Small but speedy-great groomers. Im very picky about my poodles grooming. Not every groomer can do a good *teddy bear cut*. I have been throughly impressed each time my 3 poodles have been groomed at Happy Grooming. I appreciate their professionalism and customer service. I also appreciate how clean their dog spa is. No odors of dog urine. Clean. Professional. Quality cuts.

Love that place! The owners and the employees really love the dogs and take such a great care of them! I have been there 3-4 times, and grooming is consistently perfect, and they give them the softest texture. The staff is always polite and friendly. Keep up the good work!
