WHY I STARTED GLAMOUR TAILS (AND WHY I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH)
WHY I STARTED GLAMOUR TAILS (AND WHY I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH)
I have 8 pets.
Two dogs, five cats, and a cockatiel who thinks he runs the place.
And over the years, I've wasted thousands of dollars on pet products that promised the world and delivered... nothing.
That's why I started Glamour Tails.
I'm an avid pet lover. I've always held a place in my heart for all animals. I've created real bonds with every animal I've ever met - I don't know if it's because I understand them on a deeper level, or if I was a pet in a past life.
Real talk though: 8 little souls are currently running around my house. I swear one day I'm going to open a petting zoo in here.
Meet the chaos:
Ghost is my year-and-a-half-old German Shepherd. She LOVES to chase the cats - not to be mean, but because she wants to aggressively love them like a real-life Elmyra Duff in dog form. She's also obsessed with her ball. She sleeps with it, plays tug-of-war with it, rolls it around the house. You can't hide it from her. She will find it.
Abby is my 11-year-old Pit/Kelpie mix. As a puppy, she was pure chaos - eating chocolate, my medications, anything she could get her mouth on. (I'm convinced vets lie about chocolate being toxic because this dog has consumed pounds of it and she's perfectly fine.) She's mellowed into the house nurturer now, mothering every animal we bring home whether they like it or not. When one of my cats had a kitten, Abby decided she was mom #2. Spook (the actual mom) was not consulted.
Each of these guys has very different personalities, different likes, different needs. Over the years, I've spent probably hundreds of thousands on food, toys, cleaning supplies - you name it, I've bought it, tried it, and formed an opinion about it.
And that's why I started Glamour Tails.
Let me give you an example of the kind of BS I'm talking about:
There's a pet stain remover that's been around for 20+ years. Everyone swears by it. "It's magic!" they say.
I spent $40 on a spray bottle.
It did... basically nothing.
After years of trying different products with varying degrees of failure, I finally found one that actually works. It's still kind of expensive, but you get way more product, it lasts forever, and with 8 pets destroying my house daily, I need something that actually delivers.
That's the kind of product I put in my store.
I've spent countless hours across multiple suppliers looking for the best products I can find - with all kinds of pet parents in mind. I do the research for you.
Yes, I call it a "luxury" boutique. Not because everything is expensive - but because I only carry products that are actually worth the money. Quality over hype. Function over fancy packaging.
Some things are cheap and work great. Some things are expensive and worth every penny.
I'll tell you which is which.
I'm not here to lie to you just to make a buck. I'll honestly tell you what's worth your time and what's not. I've spent many years with animals and met many pet parents along the way.
If you like the no-BS filter and want unorthodox pet advice, tune in. We can laugh and cry together.
I don't just want to run a store - I want to create a community of pet lovers.
And we give back.
Keep an eye out for special promotions to help shelter animals still searching for their forever families. Those little guys and girls have it rough. Anything Glamour Tails can do to bring them some comfort, we're going to do it.
Welcome to Glamour Tails. Let's do this.
