The super cool van was right on time, and McKenna gave my VERY anxious dog plenty of time to check out the space, gave her lots of treats, and moved slow to not scare her. She clearly knows how to interact with nervous dogs and keep everyone safe and comfortable. She answered all of my questions and gave me tips on how to help keep my dog's weird nails safe. The grooming took just about an hour, and I love that she came to my driveway so I could get other stuff done, but not have to leave my dog elsewhere for half a day. Price was very reasonable and I could easily pay with cash/check (tho I think she takes cards as well).

I'm an experienced cat owner, and I find Rena Repass, the owner, to be one of the best groomers I've dealt with over the years. She clearly loves animals, and has a loving, gentle way with them. She provides full dog-grooming services as well as cat grooming; based upon our experience with our kitty, I'm sure she's equally excellent with canines. She also works with horses from what I understand. She's friendly, warmly polite, reasonably priced, and quite knowledgeable. When I made my first appointment for our kitty, Rena asked a breed-specific question that I had only learned about myself the day prior. We have a Maine Coon, and they have specific grooming needs; Rena loves Coonies, and our little girl comes back smelling lovely and looking great. Her business has ample parking, and is near other businesses, such as a grocery store, so one can run errands while one's pet is being groomed. It's easy to find, and clearly a labor of love. Now that we've found Rena and Shaggy to Chic, we won't go anywhere else!

Twice in the last several months, my dog has been injured by other dogs. The first time she ended up with a hole in her ear from a bite, which they called and informed me about. I went to get her and she was oddly in good spirits but has a gnarly tooth hole in the tip of her ear. I monitored overnight and cleaned her up, since emergency vet visits after-hours are costly and the injury wasn't life-threatening. We lucked out in that instance, and I wish that was the end. Maybe it should've been for me, but I know dogs will be dogs. It bothered me, and I ignored a gut instinct telling me it could've been avoided by better temperament monitoring etc. I wish I'd listened. January 2025: the long and short of it is that at pickup time the excited dogs tend to go bananas and cluster by the door. Apparently not one but TWO dogs got aggressive in this moment when my dog was being jumped on and signaled with a 'yelp' that she wasn't a happy camper...and the other two dogs involved (daycare's details, given to me from camera review) did not appreciate it; one left a tooth gouge so deep in my dogs back that it actually looked like a long, gaping incision - that we had to take her and our other dog in tow immediately to the emergency vet where she was sedated and required surgical care and 2-3 weeks of follow ups, stitch removal, and for me to take several days off of work to monitor and nurse her to a comfortable point so I could return. $1000.00 later, I've now asked them several times via email for what my recourse options were. No acknowledgement. What's worse is the acknowledgements I did get avoid addressing those comments or concerns, and are simply "Ok great thanks for keeping us posted!" They'd only reply with their best wishes for my dog, and that they'd make sure the other two dogs weren't in open play with mine - plus a "warning." Conveniently, no acknowledgement of my concerns about the financial hardship or questions about what my next steps were. I read the fine print in my liability with them on day one: you are responsible for any costs or repercussions of property damage, injury, etc. caused by your pets and Dogtopia was not. Which is fine, I signed it with full knowledge that could happen; dogs will be dogs. I had to put this issue on hold for a bit as the winter was not kind to us circumstantially. Now it's time to see if my dogs are ready for daycare again and some grooming, and things have calmed a bit so I could give this my attention yet again. 4/23/25 I sent a final email to them about it, and not shockingly at all, zero reply or acknowledgement. At least, not until I asked a very direct question - which I will get to momentarily. Initially I wanted to ensure that 1) the dogs who were warned would not be in open play with mine, so I wanted to warn them we were coming so they could be especially mindful (as you can imagine, my paranoia is in high amounts all things considered) and 2) if I could inquire about how to contact the two other dog owners to discuss the costs of the injuries further. I was quickly told no, they don't share pet parent info. I replied and said well, I read your liability rules you made me sign and they say that pet parents are solely responsible for the consequences and costs of their dogs damage or injury. So how do you expect me to accomplish that if you won't give me that info to make contact? It's now been a week, well past the reasonable time to reply to an email, so I can only deduce that yet again I am being ghosted and I'm done trying to remedy this with people insistent on being unprofessional and avoidant. I suppose I will have to take further recourse against the daycare if they won't follow their own policies. This is deeply saddening that I've spent probably in the thousands of dollars in 10 years just to lose this option for my girls. And to be treated like a casual afterthought when if I were the recipient of that last email, I'd at least sense the importance of a reply nonetheless maybe involving someone of actual authority and tenure there to help manage my request. Make no mistake, it will be settled as I don't intend to shrug it off. I just wish it didn't have to be the hard way, as I've had enough of that all things considered. I don't want to tell other consumers "stay away!" because that's not my place. But this has been my experience.

On Thursday, June 19, 2025, at approximately 3:30pm, our dog was severely injured by another dog at…read moreDogtopia Gainesville. We were told that the two dogs were playing and then the other dog became aggressive and attacked our dog, biting him around his ear, causing profuse bleeding and severe damage. After we rushed over to pick up our dog to take him to the vet, we later received a call from the General Manager who stated that when a staff member tried to stop the attack, she was then bitten by our dog who was still under attack. She stated that their protocol is to call Animal Control when a dog bites a human and that our dog would need to be quarantined for 10 days. When we spoke with Animal Control, they said they were not given the entire story and were unaware that our dog was under attack at the time of the alleged bite of a staff member. To date, Dogtopia Gainesville has refused to provide a written Incident Report or any video footage of what happened between the two dogs and what happened when the staff member tried to intervene. Our next step will be to contact the Corporate Office to get a better understanding as to why we have not received a written Incident Report and video footage of what happened.

We brought Mia, our Savannah in, to go to the Rainbow Bridge, she was quite elderly and it was her time. They took her and chatted with us for a bit. We even were able to give her some chocolate. All throughout, the staff was compassionate and kind. They took the time to get to know Mia as a cat rather than just as a patient. And when her situation became a little complicated due to her fragile state, they were ready with other solution that were humane and compassionate, and allowed us to hold our girl in her last moments. This isn't unique to Mia. We've brought many cats in to them. There was one memorable time when Dr Q. spent about an hour with our Nala, who was all cattitude, even at the end. He hadn't treated her before--Dr Lucy had the dubious pleasure, sorry about your muzzle, guys!--but by the time she was ready to go, he, too, was emotionally invested. I cannot tell you how beautiful it is knowing that your vet is caring, compassionate, and gentle in those moments. Especially in THOSE moments. Every single person on staff is warm, gentle, patient focused, and compassionate. In a world where everything is rush rush rush, it's really fortunate that we have this practice so close to home. I'd trust my cats to them without reservation.

They stayed late, examined him, stabilized him, determined he needed emergency surgery, located and contacted an emergency vet and had them on standby for us. Then they provided above and beyond followup care by treating us like family and showering us and our dog with empathy (they even had their groomer come over to the exam table to clean him up because we couldn't bathe him after surgery) The doctors and staff here left an imprint on our family that cannot be put into words. Thank you!!!
