So clean and happy!
Jason T.

Very kind animal friendly staff. Always welcoming and ready to give my Hanson a great experience. Highly recommend! Hey and the are even ADA Accessible! (My Hanson is a tripod).

Ridiculous cut.
Brennan P.

DoozyDog is usually really clean, convenient, and efficient. I wanted to like it really badly. However, without being unnecessarily disrespectful or rude, I have to say that this was the worst grooming job my dog has ever received. DoozyDog, come on. Do better. My toy Australian shepherd was buzzed throughout, except for his neck and head which were left at a normal/clean and poofy 2 inch cut. It was noth even close to what I asked for when I spoke to the groomer. It is nothing like a standard shepherd/border cut. He looked so bad, in fact, that every person we passed on the walk home laughed, one even asked if he had surgery! How did this get by the staff honestly? You should be ashamed of yourselves taking people's hard earned money (which is being STRETCHED for everyone during this pandemic). It's unacceptable to pay over $70 for this service.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS If i could give a negative rating I would. We booked a simple grooming appointment and nail hair trimming for our long hair dachshund and when we picked him up his whole body had been shaved. Even worse, it looked like it had been done by a three year old. When we spoke to the manager, he said it must have been a misunderstanding. no duh? If they can mess up something this simple and are this lax on the details, I certainly wouldn't trust them to board my dog overnight.... Needless to say we are closing our account at Doozy and will no longer be a customer of theirs.

Naughty bits not cleaned up

I'm increasing this review for completely outstanding service by DoozyDog, but leaving it at 3 stars for level of talent of their groomers with poodles. The gm called me and returned my money, apologized, and set up a follow up appointment for clean up. That was well above what I expected from any company and I really appreciate it. I had some anxiousness about it, but I brought the dogs in for a clean up. They had a different groomer do this. Both poodles were just brought all the way down losing any shape that was in the original cut. I'm not a Groomer, so perhaps the hair wasn't able to be saved. Ears were still not plucked, but it was reasonably even. If you have a poodle, I would just pay the extra $20 and go to Masterpiece Groomers when they open back up. The groomers at doozy seem to cut most dogs fine, but this location does not have a groomer that is worthy of a $85 cut on a poodle.

BEWARE. Short: I have had my pup groomed multiple times at Doozy Dog, but have only boarded her there on 2-3 occasions. Due to the condition that my pup was in upon pickup after boarding, we will not be returning. With past boarding at Doozy Dog, Harley has been groomed prior to check out. However, during this stay, Doozy Dog forgot to groom her prior to checkout, as scheduled (the scheduling of which I confirmed both before and during check-in), and would not "fit her in" this afternoon despite the error being theirs. As frustrating and as inconvenient as this was, it was a blessing in disguise. If it were not for this failure-- I would not have seen the dried mound of feces that must have been clinging to my pup for the several day duration of her boarding (photos attached). Further, her and her belongings smelled atrocious. This begs the question as to whether this has happened in the past, and due to her grooming prior to checkout I've been unaware? I will not subject her to this again, nor do I intend to pay a premium to do so. I originally went to Doozy Dog because of their nice facility, and the fact that I could get my dog a private suite. However, these things are useless if what I experienced today reflects their usual standard of care. Note, as to the grooming issue -- they offered to schedule her next weekend. While I initially accepted, Harley's condition upon pickup resulted in my cancellation. The cherry on top, I heard someone yell her name in a harsh tone while I was waiting for her to be brought out. Again, it makes you wonder... Very disappointed.

The grooming was far from what I had requested, and that isn't even considering the shaved eyebrow and choppy ears, face and body. I've tried this place twice over two years, 0/2.

My dog being humped by this dog 17 times.

I chose this spot because it was convenient to my house, and now that my 6 month puppy is older--it's a lot harder to "tire her out." When I did my meet and greet, there was a lot of staff around and it seemed super pro-active. Fast forward to watching the camera throughout the day, and my 6 month puppy got HUMPED 17 TIMES by this one dog while she was trying to play with a black dog. There was no staff in the play area monitoring. No matter where she went, she was aggressively stalked and dangerously mounted by this brown dog, her play partner was not spared either. Luckily both dogs submitted, but I don't think this is "healthy play" and could have easily caused a problem were it another dog. It took 7 phone calls before I reached someone to ask to separate my dog. I bet if I hadn't been watching she would have spent the rest of her time trying to run and avoid this one dog. Does doozydog support this behavior? Where was the staff? Why aren't they monitoring the dogs closer? I don't understand why it took so long to get ahold of someone and why there isn't someone to correct this behavior. I already purchase a 24 punch card, and willing to give this place a second chance and update my review as my puppy continues to go there.

Bad haircut, staff didn't wear mask and did not provide the right service for his special day.

See all

Ask the Community - Doozydog! Club

Where do people park for a quick drop-off/pick-up? Is there off-street parking?

Parking around this area (and at 14th/Florida in particular) is always challenging... try some of the smaller streets nearby like Belmont, Chapin, or Clifton, although even this likely will require some patience and driving around a bit.

He is thriving as a new city family dog and we have Megan to thank for most of that, continually looking out for him, updating us with photos and videos of his fun-filled days, and her extraordinary effort to adjust him to all different types of dogs and people! Her doggy daycare service with pick up and drop off is a must for any busy family (we also have two) small humans!).

She always makes time to walk my dog, even for a last minute request. She is responsible and highly attentive, and checks in with me on a daily basis if I forget to ask for a walk. My dog can be anxious and sometimes destructive when I work long hours, but since Aaralyn started walking him daily he's relaxed and content when I get home. Her services are personalized, reliable, and affordable. Also, Aaralyn shows how much she cares for the dogs she walks by providing an outstanding and unmatched level of service. When my dog became very sick one day inside his kennel, she immediately cleaned him and his kennel, made him a clean dry bed, and then texted and emailed me to let me know what was going on. For the next three days, she went to check on him every two hours while I was at work, even if it was just to sit with him and comfort him. On top of that, one of her walkers took my dog to the vet and waited with me while he got checked out, then walked him back home so that I could go back to work. This walker even bought a bottle of water to bring with him to make sure that my sick dog would have something cool to drink on the walk to the vet and back. She did not charge a penny extra for any of this - only for the times he was walked. She's fantastic!

At District Dogs, he doesn't even turn back to look at me- he just runs right in, which reassures me in knowing he's in good hands. The incredible staff, who actually take the opportunity to know your dogs, alone are worthy of 5 stars. The reasonable prices and webcams simply seal the deal. Let's not even get started about the adorable report cards I get every night with his picture, his demeanor and his friends of the day. One day on the webcam I noticed that he was distressed, so I called them up and they took him for a walk, which helped him a lot for the rest of the day. I cannot recommend District Dogs enough. I am so glad I found them!

I walked back in and asked if there was a problem and she was like oh yeah yeah, she messed her crate twice today but we wiped her off. I should have never been handed back my dog in this type of condition AND without any explanation. And how long was she in this state with no attention to her health and wellbeing? And apparently they accept no responsibility: "Unfortunately we do not have a grooming at this facility and really no way of cleaning her up other than just water. The dogs are crated throughout the day when we are rotating the classes of the different groups of pups. When we have a full house it is almost impossible to keep cleaning crates and transferring her to another." - Megan Clipfel-Johnson, Structured Daycare Manager This all sounds like a District Dogs problem, not my problem. With them knowingly operating one location in a flood zone that ultimately killed puppies during a flash flood last year to an employee at another location hitting a puppy that resulted in its death, you would think they would have a heightened level of care, but apparently not. Be cautious of using the Parkview location if you care about your pup's health and wellbeing.

She's incredibly smart and before finding Atlas she was pretty well behaved but I had sort of hit a wall with her undesirable behavior (barking, separation anxiety, jumping up on people). I knew she needed better instruction than my partner and I were giving her, but knowing how social my dog is, a group puppy class didn't seem ideal. Luckily I met Atlas owner, Danny, and immediately I felt the right vibe. He seemed to have a training approach based in dog psychology, and I knew I was gonna have to think like my very intelligent dog if I was going to effectively communicate with her. I then met with Thomas (who I thoroughly enjoyed on a personal level too!) for only 2 hours and we went over a lot... all sorts of tips and tricks and it helped me to understand the overall philosophy of dog training. I was so busy going over every training mistake i had made, that I didn't even notice that Thomas was efficiently correcting her and my dog began to be on her best behavior... quietly cuddled next to me. Later on that night the change became more apparent when my partner was also like "um did you notice how obedient puppy is being?" We began joking that it's like we brought over a military school recruiter and now she's like "I'll be good! I'll be good!" We're not 100% sure which tip that Thomas gave us was so magical (but I suspect correcting the pack hierarchy was a major point) but it worked! Barking has turned into a low growl or nothing at all, she's stopped pestering us for fetch in favor of waiting for "play time", the results are kinda mind blowing! But the best part I never saw coming. Until seeing the after effects of Thomas I didn't realize how my stressed my puppy was. So now everyone in the house is happier! This is one of those business I love to support! Great people doing great work!
