I'm sure it's been at least 4 days trying to just make contact for an appointment. HSD texted offering an appointment later today. Then changed it to a later time. Then next day or later today maybe????? Seems a bit irresponsible. Feeling Bummed.

Made my appointment. Brandon was exactly on time. So very good with my dogs. You can feel the kindness coming from him. My dogs look incredible and they really liked Brandon.

recently had the pleasure of having Juliet from Happy Spa Dogs mobile dog grooming take care of my puppy, Maple, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Juliet went above and beyond to make sure Maple felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire grooming session. Maple can be a little wiggly and nervous, but Juliet showed incredible patience and gentleness, giving extra care and attention to make her feel secure. She took the time to talk to Maple, comfort her, and ensure every part of the grooming process was stress-free. By the end of the session, Maple not only looked fantastic but was wagging her tail happily! The convenience of the mobile service combined with Juliet's professionalism and genuine love for animals makes Happy Spa Dogs my go-to choice. I highly recommend Juliet to anyone looking for a groomer who truly treats your pup like family!

Brianna always does a great job! Our dachshund-yorkie mix has hair that grows really fast and covers her eyes (and other parts) and Brianna is able to trim her close and make her beautiful!

I was so happy with the result and Casye was super nice and fast which is so important to me.

Annie gets her home service grooming from Brandon every 8 weeks. Annie always gets scared with other groomers but with Brandon she feels safe. Her haircut looks super good everytime. She also looks forward to getting her new bandana. See you again soon.

Our groomer, Josie, came early and was very professional and friendly. She was so friendly with our dog and understood the cut we wanted. She was also timely with the grooming service which we appreciated. We had a great experience with Josie and Happy Spa Dogs!

How can someone abuse animals? Please do not have this company groom your pet. (Day after grooming)

Please be very careful about who you trust with your pets. We have used this company before and, until now, had no major concerns. Typically, groomers keep all doors closed during the grooming process. This time, a new groomer named Kaila arrived. While my son was taking out the trash, he noticed that a door near the driver's seat of the grooming van was open. He looked inside to check on our dog and witnessed the groomer handling our small dog very roughly. He came inside extremely upset and crying. When I went outside, I personally observed our dog being handled in a manner that appeared aggressive and abusive. I knocked on the van door and requested our dog back immediately, as we no longer felt comfortable allowing the grooming to continue. The groomer responded with hostility, used explicit profanity in front of my young child, told us to "take your f***ing dog," and slammed the van door. Our dog was returned visibly distressed and shaking. Afterward, we could hear the groomer outside our home yelling on the phone, using extremely inappropriate language, including personal insults and profanity. I contacted management and requested follow-up. The following morning, I was told that this groomer had never received a complaint. The concern is that pet owners typically cannot see how their animals are handled inside a grooming van. In our prior experiences with this company, all doors were kept closed, which prevented any visibility. We have two dogs under four pounds. A refund of $250 was offered, but this is not about money -- it is about the safety and well-being of animals. I am sharing this experience solely to warn other pet owners. No animal should ever be handled this way. We will be filing a formal complaint with the appropriate licensing and regulatory agencies in hopes of preventing harm to other dogs.

This is the second time we've used Happy Spa dogs for our Cavapoo puppy. Brianna did a puppy cut for us and our girl looked so cute! Brandon did her first full haircut / grooming and he did an amazing job. He listened to what I wanted and was so easy to talk to. Both of my dogs naturally gravitated towards him when he came to the door. He was very loving and my puppy did great with him! Scheduling is so easy through phone or text. Responsive and punctual. We've had a great experience with Happy Spa Dogs and they make it so easy with their mobile grooming.

Our little Peanut has a lot of anxiety. Lord knows we needed someone we could trust. These guys were them! Peanut smells great and was super duper "wiggly butt" when she was done. That's the best sign. And they gave her a cute little bandana :) Thank you for taking care of our little Peanut

Very happy with service! Kevin is our groomer and our dog loves him and she is very picky. The cut is always perfect and service is exceptional, highly recommend!

Groomed all three dogs.easy and efficient and dogs don't sit in a kennel for hours. That's key for me.

The girls here are so great! I brought my 1 yr old goldendoodle in for a cut and a good cleaning…read moreafter being in the mountains. Ive taken him to another groomer before that could never get his cut right or trim detail areas like the paws. This place was wonderful, Took around 3 hours and they were so thorough! They even had him on the table still so i could examine him and make any changes. They gave me a full rundown of what they did to him, they even found foxtails in his paws that I had no idea were there! They took all the foxtails out, and trimmed his paw fur down perfectly!! They were so sweet and priced well for all their hard work, would absolutely recommend !

I've brought my 14-year-old Golden Retriever here for grooming 6 or 7 times over the past several…read moreyears because it's conveniently located and they've always done good work. On my most recent visit, however, our bill had increased by about 35%, including a $20 "infrequent grooming" fee. I understand businesses need to raise prices, but this fee caught me off guard because we bathe and brush our dog between appointments. When I dropped my dog off, I jokingly said, "Everything the same as last time... except the infrequent grooming fee." I intended it as lighthearted feedback, not a confrontation. Instead, the owner immediately responded by telling me I was welcome to go somewhere else. The conversation quickly became heated. I'll own my part in that. I wasn't perfect either. But what disappointed me most wasn't the fee itself; it was how quickly a simple comment was met with defensiveness rather than a conversation. As a repeat customer, I hoped my feedback would at least be heard. Ironically, I think there's an easy solution. Instead of adding an "infrequent grooming" surcharge, why not simply offer a loyalty discount to customers who come in more often? The end result is similar, but it feels like rewarding customers instead of penalizing them. To be fair, they do decent quality grooming, and I have no complaints about the care my dog received. Unfortunately, after this interaction, I was asked to take my business elsewhere. We've since found another groomer we're very happy with. I genuinely wish them well. My only advice is that customer feedback, even when you disagree with it, is worth listening to. UPDATE: Thank you for your response. If you were looking to come across as confrontational, argumentative, and defensive, well, then you nailed it.

Five stars for Ashley! I can't thank her enough for the amazing job she does grooming my dog, Teca…read more Before finding Ashley, Teca was actually red-flagged at his previous groomers for being "difficult" to groom. While other places turned us away, Ashley wasn't hesitant at all to work with him. She has been so patient and gentle, and they've built such a wonderful relationship that we were even able to lower his medication dosage! If anyone has a "difficult" or banned dog, I highly recommend bringing your fur baby to Ashley. She is a true miracle worker!

I made two separate appointments... one for my cat on Sunday the 11th and one for my dogs on…read moreThursday the 8th. I repeatedly confirmed both dates and was confident I had them right. On Wednesday at noon, I received a call claiming I had missed my cat's appointment on the 5th. They hadn't called Monday to check in or clarify the apparent scheduling mix-up. Instead, they gave me just two hours to return their call or they would cancel my dogs' appointments the following day. When I called, the staff was rude, insisted I was wrong, and treated me as though I were the problem. I was then told I would have to pay a deposit to keep my dogs' appointments, so I canceled. I had recently moved nearby and genuinely hoped to find a regular groomer for my pets. My dog has cancer, so finding a reliable, compassionate groomer is particularly important to me. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles them says everything. A simple phone call to clarify the dates could have prevented this entire situation. Instead, the communication was poor, the interaction was unpleasant, and I was left with no confidence in their customer service before my pets had even been seen. I wouldn't feel comfortable trusting my pets to a business that handled a simple scheduling issue this way.
