After trying several groomers in Santa Barbara, we realized we were going to be on the hunt for a while. Luckily, I turned to Yelp and Dandy Dogs was highly rated and for good reason. Jeremy has experience with Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers while many groomers do not, and often defer to giving our precious Lola a golden doodle trim. Jeremy's traditional Wheaten cut was exactly what we were looking for: the preciseness, care, and thoughtfulness is exactly what we were looking for in our go-to groomer. We found the right place! Please support this small business that performs high quality grooming services. And Jeremy could not be more professional, nicer and more accommodating. Overall, a 10/10 experience. PS - our Lola is typically afraid to be dropped off at the groomers but this was the very first time she ran inside and was hopping around, no barking. It was a good sign and for good reason. See photos of her Wheaten Terrier haircut that looked a lot better in person! It's hard for her to stand still for the camera... read more

Love Dandy Dogs. I take my dogs here to get their nails trimmed. Both of my dogs are a pain in the neck, squirmy and cry, when it comes to getting their nails trimmed. Pet Smart didn't even want to trim one of their nails because they were so difficult. My dogs do really well here. They are in and out and done in no time. Jamie does a wonderful job and takes walks in! We will never go anywhere else. He makes something that has always been a huge ordeal before, not a big deal and easy. Thank you, Jamie and family! read more

I found these wonderful groomers online right around the Thanksgiving holiday. Not only did they fit me into their busy schedule, but they took amazing care of my little malti-poo puppy. We had a previous bad experience and Jeremy and his wife took the best care of Charlie. Jeremy took his time with him, getting him used to the clippers and ended up giving him the most beautiful first haircut! He didn't keep him in a kennel and was extra careful to ease his stress and anxiety from the previous groomer. I will never go anywhere else and I would recommend all of my family and friends!! If you are looking for exceptional care and service, stop looking and go here! And the pricing is less than any other place I looked at! Thank you Dandy Dogs! read more

I took my dog here as I needed a new groomer. Dandy Dogs came recommended so i decided to try them out. I called to make an appointment and was told its first come, first served and drop off starts at 8am. I dropped my dog off at 10am since i wasn't in a hurry. Jeremy was great at asking questions about what i was wanting and my dog's personality. I picked up my dog around 3pm and he looked great! Not only that, he was happy! Didn't seem nervous or upset. I would highly recommend this place for you and your fur baby! read more

I took my husky baby, Soba, to Dandy Dogs and had such a great experience. Jeremy was incredibly kind and professional, he did a fantastic job getting out all her mats and helping her deshed her winter coat. She was definitely blowing her coat and in need of some extra TLC, and he delivered exactly that. I'll absolutely keep bringing her here, and I'm already recommending him to my sister and my boyfriend. Thank you so much, Jeremy! read more

Tried this place The owner of this place is really nice but the haircut he gave our dog was awful! It looked like the shears were blunt- the cut was ragged and uneven- never going back. Going back to my more expensive mobile groomer.. Dissapointing. read more

Love bringing our Wheaton here!! Will continue to bring her here! They always take really great care of us and our Lola!

Jeremy has taken great care of both my senior dogs. My dogs always look so much better after seeing Jeremy. At later stages of my dogs life, Jeremy did a house call for us, which we so greatly appreciated. Jeremy is my got to groomer. He's committed to patient satisfaction and taking great care of dogs. I look forward to continuing to bring business to Jeremy. read more

Love Dandy Dogs. Small family business, Jeremy has always taken fantastic care of my sweet Camille (cat). She can be a bit jumpy, and isn't the biggest fan of grooming, I'm protective over her but she loves Jeremy! He took such great care of her, she's a shoulder cat and finds comfort perching high up so he dried her on his shoulder. Really really kind genuine people, they understand how important your pets are. The only reason I put 4 stars is the pricing. I'm a college student on a budget and don't have $70 to cough up for a ~35 minute groom, and maybe I don't have a good understanding of economics but I just feel that's very steep for work getting done, and have begun grooming her at home. read more

You book your date and then drop off first come first serve. My puppy was calm and looked so cute after! They were such a sweet family definitely recommend. read more

I was super sad when Jeremy stopped mobile grooming as it was convenient but glad he is still in town because he is the best groomer I've ever had for my dogs. He does a wonderful job. If you are looking for a groomer in SB Jeremy is your guy. read more

The new owner, Jeremy is absolutely fantastic. He is so polite and professional. You can really tell he enjoys his job and the pups that he grooms. There are so many groomers in town that don't take large dogs and Jeremy took our 76 pound golden retriever who was covered in tar and made our pup the cleanest he's ever been. Jeremy really took the time to clean out the tar rather than shaving him completely. We will be coming back and I'd recommend this place to anyone. Also just to update the hours he's open 8-4:30 read more

My dog has always been a nervous dog when being groomed and she didn't nearly seem as anxious here , Jeremy is very personable and genuinely just loves animals so i will feel safe leaving my dog with him , Great prices , and great cuts too . will be coming back ! read more

Jeremy is super accommodating towards our senior dog. It's great that the dogs get to roam outside while waiting for their turn.

Just tried Dandy Dogs after a few other places. We have found our groomer! They did an excellent job. My doggie seemed relaxed and happy at pick up and was not crated. He looked fabulous! Excellent, fair price too. It is family owned and family run business. SUPER nice people! read more

I've taken my golden doodle to Dandy Dog twice now and super happy. Jeremy is so kind and gentle with the dogs, the place is clean and calm, and my puppy looks fantastic! Plus you don't have to wait forever to get in, I just called him yesterday (Friday) and took my dog this morning (Saturday) Highly recommend Dandy Dogs! read more

These guys are great! They took me in last minute when all the other places were booked out for weeks. They were super nice and did an amazing job. 10/10 read more

Took my dog in for grooming. We got there at 8:00am the shop was just opening. The man said my dog would be done in 2 to 3hours. At noon I went over my dog was not trimmed. Only shampoo and combed out. I took my dog home and will never return. Marie former dog groomer was terrific and I went to her for over 20 years. She is not involved anymore. read more

My dog, Tilly, has always been terrified of getting groomed. Jeremy holds her and talks to her before he begins her grooming. She is no longer the scared little dog by the time they get started. He is loving and kind while being totally professional. I highly recommend Jeremy and Dandy Dogs. read more

Fast, affordable, and great. New guy very nice. Dog was happy, he was pleasant, price was right. Not much more to say.

Have been taking my pup to Dandy Dogs for over a year, he is 14 1/2 Maltipoo. I know he is in great hands and he always comes back with the best hair cut and trim . So happy to have found amazing groomers who are sweet and very loving towards my little pup! Highly recommend their services! read more

I can't tell you how amazing Dandy Dogs is -- I was worried about our little Pekingese, Mamas. She is ~ 16 years-old and a little on the fragile side. As you can see from the photo, Marie did an AMAZING JOB. The owner, Marie, is so calm and has amazing eye contact. I walked away after dropping her off feeling assured and that I was in reliable hands. When I returned, Mamas was like putty in her arms. Not at all frantic, which is more often the case. Please give this groomer an opportunity -- I can't say enough about Marie and Dandy Dogs !!! BRAVO !!! And, she was even gifted a Halloween hanky !!!!!! read more

Wonderful groomer! The location is in the same lot as 7/11 near DPHS. They open at 7:00 and you drop your dog off between that time and 11:00. We dropped our puppy off at 8:00 ish and picked him up at 11:00. He looked so happy and smelled so clean. They clearly treated him very well and even gave him a little bandana. Marie, the owner, also has groomed my mother's dogs also for years. One of them has some aggression problems and she is still groomed and happy coming out of Dandy Dogs. This is a dog that another groomer declined to groom (won't name names :P). Charlie, my dog, was clearly very relaxed and happy in there. I would recommend this lovely dog groomer to anyone in the Santa Barbara area. read more

Nail trim in the morning- no appointment necessary. Great job, great service, great price. So worth not fighting with my fur baby to trim his nails! read more

Dandy Dogs did an amazing job with both our dogs! They hadn't been groomed since pre quarantine and were both very overgrown (still adorable but quite a bit knotty). They're back to being soft and knot free. Dandy Dogs was so easy to schedule an appointment with and our dogs seemed very happy upon pickup. We'll definitely be taking the dogs back! read more

They do a great job every time. They are often so booked that it takes several weeks to get an appointment, so I've learned to call before my dog's coat gets out of hand. Very happy and will keep going back. read more

We have a 5 month old shih tzu and have been nervous about finding a gentle groomer. We found Dandy Dogs doing research on groomers in the Santa Barbara area and love them! Two months ago we inquired about getting a trim around her face and paws, which was excellent and fairly priced. Today our puppy got her first haircut and looks amazing! She didn't have to stay too long and even got a bow. Marie is very kind and understands the need to take care of dogs when they're away from their owners. We will definitely keep coming back! read more

First time visiting this groomer and had a very good experience. My dog was groomed exactly as I needed and he seemed happy when I was there to pick him up. Only downside is that they are quite busy so it can be hard to schedule (I had to schedule like 3 months in advance) but they were great about putting me on a cancellations list and helping me get set up for a future schedule. read more

Dandy Dogs is my new go-to. They were able to fit in my girl Callie within 5 days of my call, and she came out happy and well groomed. 10/10

Cute little spot. Quality work! It's been some years, but we used to bring our black lab here for grooming. I was able to conveniently drop him off early in the morning and then come to pick him up later in the day when the groomer was finished. I have fond memories of seeing my dog happy as can be after his session with Dandy Dogs. He'd come out looking consistently clean, shiny, trimmed nails, and would be sporting a cute bandana around his neck. You could tell that Marie, the groomer, took good care of him. I'd compare it to the ultimate spa day, for your pet. Though our dog isn't around any longer, I'm happy to see that Dandy Dogs still is. Check them out - you won't be disappointed, nor will your four-legged friend! read more

I absolutely LOVE dandy dogs! I have a tiny little morkie who isn't a fan of most things! I am also very particular with how his hair is cut! Dandy dogs makes sure that my little man is in tip top shape every time! They are also so sweet to him and I am always comfortable leaving him there! They go the extra mile and offer services beyond your average petsmart for their basic cut! They also gave this cute scarf!! 10/5 stars! read more

This is my first experience with a dog groomer (aside from some time working as a bather 12 years ago, and the basic grooming we do at the animal hospital I work at. I inherited my miniature poodle from a boarding client at the hospital in fact, which is why I'm now joining the Fluffy Dog club... When I got Gigi she was a bit shaggy, and now 3 months later she looked like a giant furry tumbleweed. It was adorable, but her hair was getting tangly faster than I could brush it and she was constantly eating her beard.. I dropped her off around 7:30 am, and Marie was waiting and ready to listen to me bumble my way through my first grooming consultation. I had to go to work, and she assured me I could send my husband and aunt with money to pick her up at noon. I felt confident enough; with no idea what to expect I had to rely on Marie's skill and the fact that Gigi was adorable and her hair grows like crazy. I finally got to see her after getting home from work tonight, and as soon as she came running around the corner I burst out laughing (in a good way, I always do when I see her) and almost thought someone brought their tiny, well-groomed poodle over to replace my living muppet. Marie really had her work cut out for her; I'll try not to let her get so overgrown next time! She looks great, Marie did just what I asked, and I can't stop looking at her.. Dandy Dogs is very affordable, and the customer service and skill are top notch! read more

The two groomers here are amazing. They understood what I wanted and did it wonderfully! Additionally they added a really cute seasonal bandana. They take notes of how you had your dog groomed and can modify how ever you want each time you come in. Requires reservations, so plan in advance. It took me about a week to get in, which was perfect for my schedule. My Lhasa Apso cost $45 for a bath, groom, ears cleaned, nails clipped, and anal glands cleaned. read more

Entirely satisfied with each and every experience with them. This is probably Czar's (Sheltie) 6-7th visit, and we get amazingly consistent results every time for a killer price!! Lots of hair to deal with on this puppy, they do a great job with the wash, brushing, light shave of the privates, trimming the ears and paws, etc. Tried several other grooming services in town that were more conveniently located, but they were always more expensive and always missed something. Thanks Dandy Dogs, we're customers for life!! read more

Dandy Dogs - So fresh and clean, looking like a million - Pet Groomers Near Me - Goleta, California

Whenever I go to Dandy Dogs, my dogs comes out clean and smells as fresh as a daisy. However, whenever I pick up my dogs, one of them is always cut up and bleeding. I have been to Dandy Dogs more than seven times, and yesterday was the last time I will take my dogs. My dog had a large (at least 2 inches in diameter) cut on his leg, and it was bleeding. I would have complained to Marie, but I found out about it when I left. The least they could have done was to bandage or put some alcohol on the cut and apologize to me. But no. They did not. The price is now $50 per dog, I have two little dogs, so $100 is a little outrageous. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best, I'd say that the service is a 2. read more

They won't groom big dogs. :( My friend (who has a big dog!) has been going to them for years and likes them, so I was thrilled to bring Cody to them...but they said they only take small dogs now. Very disappointed. read more

Nice, clean, courteous and professional. She did an excellent job with my mini poodle. We will be back!!
