    Santino enjoying his after wash treat from the lovely employee!

    Loved coming in here and getting my dog washed from the getting into the ocean nearby! He climbed the steps into the wash tub and looked back for his usual bribing treat, which I did not have, oh no, we survived the wash luckily, and little did we know that he would get a puppucino cup to celebrate his wash!! Amazing service and loved the little wash stations with everything you need for a dog's bath!

    Puppy Cut

    First time at this place and my puppy loves it. He loves his hair cut! Groomer did a great job! Lots of treats and options for dogs! We will be back for our pups next cut! Thank you!

    Receipt with purchase date of 4/22/2025

    Update: Happy to say I received a call back from Martin, the store owner, and he made everything right remote which was great as I was not in the area. I definitely understand that mistakes can be made, we are all human after all, and that it is how we handle them that makes the difference. Super kudos to Martin for his quick attention to finding a solution. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be stopping by again The store was lovely, the cashier, Nick, was very nice. And I thought everything was great until I got home and opened this new bag of Farmina for my dog. I found that it was expired back in November. I immediately called the store to hopefully make things right. All I was told was that because the food was opened, that I couldn't return it. No offer of a refund, or exchange, or any attempt to make it right. I used to work in retail at a pet store and we would make sure that we did not have expired food on our shelves. If a product wasn't moving, we would regularly check for expiration dates so that we didn't sell expired food. Apparently Happy Pet does not hold itself to the same standards. I asked for a manager to call me back, but have not heard back. Called again today, no answer, so left a message and now will leave this review since my messages do not appear to be making it to management. Hoping they take this opportunity to make it right.

    Grooming Station
    Lulu M.

    Groomed my pet for the first time and I will MOST DEFINITELY be coming back due to Nick's (the front desk man) charisma and politeness! The self grooming station is first time user friendly, and they even provide bathing products such as shampoo, conditioner, hair brushes, and a dryer for your fur babies. :) They also provide impermeable gowns to don prior to bathing them! A very thoughtful set up. I will be back!

    I am a local in santee and have recently discovered Happy Pet! All i can say is WOW! I am amazed with the great customer service and the product selection! They have a self wash station for your dogs and also grooming on set days of the week. I will definitely be coming back. My pup is very happy.

    He won't let go

    I'm so glad they reopened! I normally come here a couple times a week to grab quick snacks for the pups so they miss it too! I just heard they're also opening a self washing station which I'm deffff going to come by and see. Their selection is great and they have mainly top quality and natural products . Must visit if you're in the area.

We like the teddy bear/puppy cut and bichon face so he's really round. Service: Bath, haircut, gland expression as well as teeth, brushing hair, cleaning, nail trim, and buff. Booking: You can text her or use the portal. We book his appointments 2-3 weeks out because she is quite busy. We've gone to her twice now and Kona looks like perfection!

    POMERANIAN GROOMING (5 stars)…read more Spa Day for my Gigi! A new young Pomeranian has entered my life and I wanted to be on the right track either way the right go-to people. After seeing on social media advertising of this groomer, I felt the urge to secure an appointment instead of going to my previous Pom's groomer. And I am very very very happy with the end results! Location is downtown, there is a small parking lot but usually full - has with narrow spots and hard to get into since surround streets are one-way busy streets. I recommend circling and parking on 10th Ave for less of hassle. Fabiola is fabulous! She was so sweet, caring, attentive, and does an amazing job cutting fur. She doesn't rush each grooming and takes her time for a very quality cut. She also has a Pomeranian which made my experience feeling better because she knew exactly how to cut their fur. We even had conversations about Pomeranians and everything about our dog care life. My Pomeranian looks so beautiful and smelt wonderful when I picked her up. I asked for a trim, clean up the buttox area, and do cut the paws (like cat paws). She also knows how Pom fur is suppose to look like and she rounded out all the areas needed AND brought in the fur around the waist to give my Pomeranian a cinched look. For a bath, some treats, nails trim, and fur.cut for $115 - please tip on top, she does a great job. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

She was thoughtful in this respect, & was attentive to our dog. Kristan was very kind to our lovely pet, was personable & attentive when we spoke on the phone, & was very accommodating with our baby as to having him at their dog day care center. On one night, our dog looked that he was not feeling well, & Kristan made a wise decision to have her staff member get our pet to a nearby pet hospital to get seen, after a few hours, baby was okay, & same staff member returned our sweet one to the dog club. Our sweet baby had trouble walking & was slipping on their smooth floor, & Kristan made sure to get some dog booties to fit his four legs to help to make him comfortable & to make him feel at ease with his walking, & this made a big difference on him. Several people took part in taking care of AmyJames, & I did not get their names. Thank you all at Doozydog!Club.

From our first visit to today, I am incredibly impressed. We shopped and tried a couple other daycares in the area but immediately knew Doozydog was the daycare for us. I believe the quality of this place is a direct reflection of outstanding management. Kristen sets high expectations of all of her staff and it's evident she has selected team members who genuinely care for every dog. I never have a single worry when dropping off my pups. When we first started utilizing DoozyDog, I only had one dog. Knowing the level of care provided by Kristen and her staff made it an easier decision to get a second dog. Now, both of my dogs get so excited when we arrive that they climb over each other to get inside. Our dogs always come home completely tuckered out and pass straight out after dinner, which tells me exactly how much fun they've had all day. Just look at these happy pup photos. They have extra activities on some days for example playtime bubbles and celebrating birthdays. The facility is clean, and I've been in a few other daycares where you can tell cleaning, sanitizing, and ventilation or circulation of air is lacking. The staff are wonderful, they quickly learned my pups' names and greet us warmly at every drop-off and pickup. I love the report card photos. Doozydog does have a camera system where you can watch live, which was a big plus to me initially. However, I learned fairly quickly I didn't have the need to check in as I know they are in the best hands. Kristen treats these dogs as if they were her own, works tirelessly to please every parent, and takes immense pride in her work. She has even called personally to check on my dogs when they have missed days due to illness. If Kristen ever left, I honestly don't know what we would do. The rates are reasonable, not the most expensive but not the cheapest. I would be suspicious of any daycare that offers lower rates because what are they cutting corners on? We love taking advantage of their end-of-the-month package deals. We've also utilized their individual or group walk packages. Their hours are great too for people with busy schedules. For boarding, we book a suite for maximum comfort. The staff strictly follow feeding and medication instructions and sends us updates, which I appreciate. Their grooming services (bath/brush, and nail trims) are also incredibly convenient to have in all in one spot. They truly do have it all! Even when we moved out of the downtown area we still utilize Doozydog even when other options were closer. We are so grateful for Kristen and the team, we can't recommend them enough!

We specifically asked for his nails to be trimmed, the hair around his eyes to be cleaned up so he could see, and just a small trim overall. We did not want him to receive a full haircut because he is still a puppy. When we dropped him off, the worker was not very welcoming and basically told us to just drop him off and pick him up at 5:30. When we returned, we were very disappointed to see that our puppy had received a full haircut. I asked why his hair had been cut so short, and she explained that his hair was matted (which was not )and that his coat was currently transitioning, so it would grow back better this way. However, we never gave permission for a full haircut, and I feel we should have been contacted beforehand if they felt a more extensive cut was necessary. Unfortunately, that wasn't even the only issue. Our puppy was also nicked/scraped around his private area during the grooming. Afterward, he was walking strangely and constantly scratching his bottom, which became concerning enough that we had to take him to the emergency vet. We are extremely disappointed with this experience. If a groomer feels that a full haircut is necessary, they should communicate that with the owner and get approval before proceeding. We trusted them with our 5-month-old puppy, and unfortunately, we left feeling that our concerns and instructions were not respected. I would not recommend this place based on our experience.

I've had tons of people ask where she gets her hair cut and am always happy to let them know that Gabriel Feitosa is the spot!

Some of her cuts are just so unbelievably cute and precise - I wish they could always be so perfect.

And finally... we got to go! Prepare your dogs vaccination records. :) Bring them before or on the grooming day. When you arrive, you will fill out a simple questionaire with basic info. They'll ask the usual.. what style groom you have in mind! I like my dog to have the typical teddy bear cut. :) So cute! Keep the eyelashes etc. It took a few hours (as expected) and I was sooooo happy with Gigi's groom by Logan! Logan is so detail-oriented and sooo nice! When I came to pick Gigi up, he kindly came out to bring Gigi out! I also had Winston, (Gigi's bestie) with me since Winston was with us overnight for a pupsleepover! At the salon, they sell treats, dog clothing, dog bed, dog necklaces and shoes, and our fave, the dog cologne by Hydra USA! Logan used Forever Fresh on Gigi and it smelled amazing! I returned a week after to purchase it. There are many other amazing colognes too to choose from. Natashya and Randy assisted me at the front desk and they were so kind and welcoming! We will be back in the future and will also support at the new location! P.S. Parking - street parking with meters. There is a small lot on the left of the salon but I am unsure if those belong to the other businesses or if anyone can park. It's pretty easy though to find parking.
