8 Signs Your Dog Deserves a Spa Day
Dog Getting Bathed at Happy Hounds Hotel and Day Spa
As a pet parent, you know your dog better than anyone. You can tell when they’re full of energy—and when something’s a little off. While regular grooming helps keep your pup looking and feeling their best, sometimes they need more than the basics.
If your dog has been feeling a bit “ruff,” it might be time to schedule a relaxing spa day at Happy Hounds Hotel & Day Spa. Here are some common signs your furry friend is ready for a little extra pampering.

1. Matted or Tangled Fur
If your dog’s coat is starting to look more like a tangle of knots than a sleek fur coat, it's time for professional grooming. Matted fur can cause discomfort and even lead to skin problems if not addressed.
At Happy Hounds, our experienced groomers gently detangle and trim matted fur, leaving your pup with a smooth, healthy coat and a whole new bounce in their step.
2. Excessive Shedding
Shedding is normal—but if it’s suddenly taking over your couch, your car, and your clothes; your pup might need a deshedding treatment. A good bath and brush-out at Happy Hounds helps remove loose hair, reduce shedding, and promote healthier skin and coat.
Say goodbye to fur tumbleweeds and hello to a refreshed, fluff-free pup.
3. Persistent Dog Smell
We all love our dogs—but we don’t always love how they smell. If your pup has a lingering odor that a towel can’t fix, a professional dog bath might be just what they need.
Our groomers use high-quality, pet-safe shampoos and conditioners that leave your dog smelling fresh and feeling clean—without stripping their natural oils.
4. Dirty or Sore Paws
Have you been finding muddy paw prints around the house? Is your dog constantly licking their paws? It might be time for a pawdicure!
At Happy Hounds, we offer full paw care, including paw cleaning, nail trimming, and pad checks to ensure your dog’s paws are healthy, clean, and comfortable.
5. Ear Scratching or Eye Irritation
If your dog is shaking their head, scratching at their ears, or has discharge near their eyes, don’t ignore it. These could be signs of ear infections or eye irritation.
Our grooming services include gentle ear cleaning and eye area grooming to help prevent issues before they start—and to keep your dog looking bright-eyed and comfortable.
6. Behavior Changes or Restlessness
Has your usually chill dog been acting anxious or restless lately? Just like people, dogs experience stress—and sometimes they just need a little time to unwind.
A spa day at Happy Hounds provides a calming environment, soothing baths, and one-on-one attention to help your pup relax and reset. It’s more than grooming—it’s a wellness experience for your dog.
7. Dry, Flaky Skin
If your pup’s been scratching more than usual or you’re noticing flakes on their fur, it could be a sign of dry skin. Our specialized spa treatments use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners that hydrate and soothe irritated skin while nourishing your dog’s coat.
Your pup will leave soft, shiny, and more comfortable than ever.
8. You Just Want to Pamper Them!
Let’s be honest—your dog doesn’t have to be dirty, itchy, or smelly to deserve a spa day. Sometimes, a little extra pampering is the perfect way to say "I love you." Whether it’s their birthday, a celebration, or just because they’re your best friend, a spa day at Happy Hounds is a gift they’ll truly enjoy.
Give Your Dog the Gift of Self-Care (Yes, Really!)
Whether they need a deep clean, a detangling session, or just some quality downtime, a trip to Happy Hounds Hotel & Day Spa can make a world of difference for your dog’s comfort and confidence. Our grooming and spa team is here to keep your pup looking great and feeling even better.
