People will soon be able to get their dogs nails painted, buy their fluffy friend perfume and locally made treats, and wash them at a new Fort Gratiot business.
Port Huron resident Paula Bennert said she and her husband hope to open the pet business Happy Tails Bath & Boutique this Saturday.
“(It’s) a place you want to come get your dog bathed, maybe do some shopping,” she said, and “have a great shopping experience with your pet.”
Located at 5985 Lakeshore Road, Happy Tails Bath & Boutique will offer full-service grooming and two self-wash dog stations. The boutique portion of the business will carry new and gently used items, locally made dog treats and toys, specialty homemade items like dog T-shirts with customized wording, and more.

“It’s great to be open again. As a brewery, most of our customers have been closed for the last 13 months and although we’ve been doing a fair bit of trade at our onsite shop, without most of the staff it’s been like a ghost town. Having the buzz back is a good feeling and I’m sure the atmosphere we’ll get over the next few weeks will be lovely, with people meeting up with friends and family in a socially-distanced way.”
To drink, Rob says the brewery’s Stour Valley Gold is “fantastic”, but also reveals they’ve just launched Venture Point 5 – Nethergate’s first low alcohol beer, ideal for drivers. “That’s really exciting. So far, most people who’ve tried it have been very positive, saying it taste just like our regular Venture beer.”

With an estimated $63 million in COVID stimulus funds heading for St. Clair County’s local governments, Jeff Bohm joked with other officials about making a down payment on a helicopter.
He even punched up a recent message to two city managers, sending a photo of one.
The county board chairman admitted it’s not a true goal of his for county spending. But it emerged in a much larger conversation among local leaders who said they’re still figuring out how and on what the federal funding can be spent.
