Tailwaggers Larchmont, the new multi-purpose pet boutique, hosted a four-day-long grand opening to celebrate its arrival on the Boulevard. The event featured vendor demonstrations, free samples, gift bags with purchase, daily raffle drawings, and the chance to get to know staff members.
Tailwaggers, which has two other locations, in Hollywood and West Hollywood, first opened its doors on Larchmont this spring with a soft opening. Now, the shop is fully stocked and was ready for its official unveiling.
Owner Todd Warner was on-site, working with customers during the fête, and expressed his excitement about the Larchmont locale.
“I’ve been coming to Larchmont Boulevard for over 30 years,” Warner shared. “I used to live in Brookside on Tremaine, and I’ve always loved this area. It’s just so special and I’m really excited to be here.”
During the opening, patrons and their pets were greeted by Warner, as well as a full staff ready to answer questions about anything related to the shop’s pet products and services. Representatives from many of the product lines came out in support of the opening and offered free samples, tutorials and demonstrations.

Customers who made a purchase of $20 or more over the four-day event were given a goody bag and entered into a raffle. With multiple prizes being raffled off each day, many walked away with curated gift baskets for dogs and cats, designer dog beds, and other in-demand products.
In addition to its retail operation, Tailwaggers will offer daycare and grooming later this summer.
“Grooming can be stressful for some pets,” Warner explained. “So our approach is different. Other grooming models take on an assembly line format with the animals seeing multiple technicians. At Tailwaggers, each pet stays with one groomer for the entire length of the service, which is better for creating a bond and reducing any potential upset.”
Giving back is important to Warner. To that effect, the upstairs office space will serve as headquarters for his non-profit, Tailwaggers Foundation, which raises money for rescue dogs and cats. He is also committed to giving back in the community.
“I love being a part of the neighborhood, and I’m so excited to get involved and help Larchmont celebrate its upcoming 100th anniversary,” Warner said.
