Things went off the rails FAST on this episode of Hair of the Dog. When life gets crazy, sometimes you just need to grab a drink, skip the standard podcast script, and plan the wildest networking event San Antonio has ever seen. 🤷‍♀️✨


The Reality of Starting a Business
Today at 12:32 AM

Ever had a moment where you look around and realize... absolutely nobody actually has it figured out? 💀

We are keeping it 100% real about the absolute chaos of shop renovations. The space is leased, the plumbers have arrived, and suddenly the "under-the-floor" is on top of the floor. Massive holes, dirt piles, and pure construction madness!

If you're out here building something from the ground up and feeling completely overwhelmed—just remember, we're all just winging it together. 🥂 Let's just drink through the stress!

🥤 When You Try to Be Fancy but the Straw Wins 😂

Ever tried to look elegant drinking through a straw only to realize... you have absolutely no idea what you're doing? 💀

Watch as we try to figure out the ultimate "straw etiquette"—from gumming it to hiding the teeth. Spoiler alert: it didn't go well, and we definitely aren't in that "industry" anymore! 😭 Let’s just say, classing it up is harder than it looks.

Drop a comment: Are you team "hide the teeth" or team "just drink the damn beverage"? 👇

We are tackling the hottest topics that everyone loves to argue about on social media.

The wildest drink preference you’ll hear today 😭😂
05/18/2026

There are two types of people in this world:

People who want a nice, refreshing Tito's with lime. 🧊People who want a scotch strong enough to grow hair on a non-existent third tit. 🧔‍♀️

We’re not judging, Sarah... okay maybe a little bit.

In our very first episode of Hair of the Dog, San Antonio groomers Sarah (owner of The Canine Co) and Leigha introduce themselves, their shops, and how an online rant turned into a friendship—and now a podcast. Over a “Goldendoodle” cocktail (champagne, cranberry, pineapple and triple sec), they talk shop hopping, corporate vs. independent grooming, pricing without apologizing, supporting other groomers instead of tearing them down, and why this show is unapologetically “for the dogs.” You’ll hear stories about terriers, doodles that “come in every 12 weeks (you mean six months),” rescues learning to trust again, and training young groomers t...
