Pet Stores in Converse, TX

“I’ve been going to Pup Country/Happy Trims for a little over a year and never leave unsatisfied. They treat my baby so well! He gets anxious with grooming appointments but they’re so patient here. They call me with updates and my shih tzu always leaves smelling good and a perfect clean cut. They’re very flexible here as well, I accidentally brought my dog in for his appointment a week early, they said it’s okay and still took him in!! ? My dog also does better with male groomers, one day they called and said he was having a hard time so they switched him to the male groomer and he did much better. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these kind groomers!!!!!! Thanks Happy Trims!!”

“I lost my first dog in June, quite unexpectedly, and he was more than a pet, as he taught me for the first time ever what it meant to be unconditionally loved, how to care for someone else, etc etc, thanks to a lifetime of trauma and abused I somehow survived on my own. The world didn’t know/care that I was technically old enough to know things but had missed out on a lot, and so Toby was the catalyst for learning, healing, and growth, and also became a service dog for me when I had a bad wreck and wound up on fixed income.

Money tight and heart bound, I was never “ready” in many ways to lose my boy, but death comes because as I know well, life has zero “PAUSE” button, and the people who came to liberate my boy from suffering wanted nearly everything I’d saved and that didn’t even include them taking his body. I had heard of Bluebonnet just weeks before, and when I made the call to them to see about prices the woman on the phone was so kind, gentle, and also got business done.

My boy’s last morning came. He couldn’t be dropped off for some hours due to pre-existing things *I* had to deal with, and given my PTSD, I did what I had to do after being present for Toby’s goodbye, packed him and my other two in the car, and had a friend wait outside with them while I took Toby in. I’m already an emotions on her sleeve kind of person, and so this being my first loss as well as the loss of someone so very close to my heart, I’m sure I was half shut down half beside myself in tears, and by this point in my day, it was mostly due to stress OF the day because I still hadn’t registered that this was it, the last time I’d see my boy in his bodily form, and I hadn’t even had a private, no-dogs-no-humans around moment to myself to say goodbye, and here I was bringing him to be cremated because I couldn’t leave his body to sit all weekend to have more time.

I don’t remember which lady I did the business of payment with, but the guy who came to get his body from my car? THANK YOU SO MUCH for your gentleness, kindness! I had to have a neighbor guy help lift him into my car and he was so surprisingly unceremonious about it, the way Bluebonnet’s guy helped just so deeply touched me.

Though I had to pretty much drive like a bat out of hell to get there in time before closing, the lady who helped me do paperwork ALSO was so so wonderful; she gave me some time alone with Toby, finally, to say my personal, final goodbye to my boy, and words cannot express how greatful I am to her. She also let me break up payment half and half which was an unexpected blessing.

I feel like Toby came back to me faster than originally quoted which was a nice surprise in a thing as sucky as death and grief, and the box/papers they gave me were nice, sturdy, sure to last a long time if need be, but they also have other urns and engraving and etc so I may place his ashes in something else in the future. Again upon pickup I sort of lost it, seeing my boy’s new form, and again, they let me sit as long as I needed even tho the lady working that day was some other woman, equally as kind. I did speak with some of the other customers coming and going, even a lady with two little kids coming for pickup, and everything was so professional and yet compassionate. The one lady I spoke to said she had a few pets cremated here, and the woman working that day mentioned there was a pastor guy who rescued countless animals, all cremated there across decades.

I am very greatful for this business because while I’ve learned I hate the business of death, I have two more dogs still alive for now but aging, and I pray I’ll be able to afford/use Bluebonnet again for when it’s their time to cross over.

THANK YOU is not enough to all you wonderful people @Bluebonnet, so instead just know I ask the god whom creates such unconditional love in our dogs and y’all’s hearts to bless you richly. ?? In Jesus’ name, amen.”
