Nice folks who care about your dog and treat them like their own. I especially like that they do a nice job with temperament testing.

Great, non-caged fun. The dogs come home exhausted, and they seem to be well cared for. Only negative is no webcams.

Dropping off and picking up my puppy was flawless. They offer baths for when you pick up your dog…read moretoo. Would definitely recommend and use again.

First let me start with I waiting a week before I tried to contact the owner so I could cool off…read moreand not reacted in a hateful manner. We have used Tannenberg Pet Resort two times. The first time was for a weekend and only a few days. We were happy with the way our dog was taken care of and how they were able to fit our dog in seeing they were full. The second time we were not happy at all. We dropped our dog off May 6th 2025 and picked him up after 9:00 am on May 12th 2025. I brought his food and a blanket with us because he is so attached to my husband and wanted him to have something with his dads smell on it. Just so he would feel comfortable while we were gone. We arrived to pick him up the lady at the counter asked if he was scheduled to have a bath and we said yes and she said OK. We paid and she asked for his collar and leash and she would go get him for us. when he was brought out to us his ears were back and He had brush marks in his fur with the strong smell of doggie cologne. (I thought it was just the smell of the dog shampoo until we got home.) She told me he had not ate yet this morning. I said OK I will feed him when we get home. When we took him outside to load him in the truck, he peed a long time then ran to the grass and pooped telling me he had not been out yet that morning. I told the lady that we had a blanket and she said oh let me go get it. She brought it out to me in a bag and said it was in the washer waiting to be washed. I said that is ok I will wash it. the blanket smelled and had something on it not sure what it was. The odor was like it had laid in the bottom of an outhouse. When we got home, he ate right away. He held his ears back for most of the day and was not his playful self. We went outside and came back in and I smelt an odor that was so bad. I cleaned out my trash can clean the garbage disposal. Still the smell was ungodly. Then I bent down to hug my dog and there it was. As a dog owner maybe, I spoil my dog too much and many may not think it is a big deal, but I feel like my dog laid in a cage for 6 days in his own feces. Just a side note our dog has never peed or pooped in the house. He would hold it until someone got home. telling me he pooped and peed in the cage because he had no choice. This is the reason I waited a week before contacting them because every time my dog looked at me, he had sad eyes and I felt so bad for what I let my dog go through. My heart was breaking every time I looked at him. I know if I would have talked to someone the moment I found out where the smell was coming from (by the way we paid for a bath) that I would not have a kind thing to say. all I have to say is shame on the staff at Tannenberg!!!! After speaking to the owner and hearing her tell me what Tannenberg offers and what she expects from her staff I would have written a different review if that was the service my dog received. With that being said I will not be using this business again. I hope this helps open the eyes of the staff and helps them to better themselves and helps fill the expectations of the owner. Also that the owner takes this to heart and fills her staff with people who really care for pets the way a pet owner would.

I brought my poodle in for his spring cut as I let his hair grow long during the cold months. He…read morelooked like a big stuffed animal -- cute! Anyway, I found this company through a link on local dog meetup group in Dayton. It said they were offering 50% off for new customers, but it also said I had to contact someone in particular using an email that wasn't from this business. I found that a bit suspicious and just called them directly. The owner did not know about that special, but she did honor the first time customer discount. Kudos! I expressed to her that I am very picky about my dog's grooming. She seemed understanding and told me they groom a lot of poodles. Good! When I got there, I was almost immediately greeted by someone who had paperwork for me and held my dog while I competed it. The groomer was across the room grooming another dog and was also asking me how I wanted my poodle groomed. What happened?! I think I was transported into poodle grooming heaven. What?! A place that seems to care and is running efficiently and is willing to honor a discount! OMG! Okay...when is the shoe going to drop? I left my poodle in their care. I came back approximately 2.5 hours later. My poodle was completed and the cut was done well. Thank you so much! I appreciate a business that actually follows thru, especially with a family member. I also like the location because the Dorothy Lane Kroger's is across the street. So, I can do my grocery shopping & get gas...all while the dog is getting groomed! Love it! BTW, they have do it yourself dog bathing or you can have them do it. The only criticism I have is that I had asked for no perfumes/colognes of any kind; I stated that and wrote it down on the form. My poodle had some kind of powder (?) that had a smell I didn't care for. It was the usual stuff that a lot of groomers use. I will be sure to stress that preference next time. Overall, my first experience there was very good. I gave the groomer a nice tip and was on my way. I recommend them! :)

Have used Poochie Bath for years. New ownership shocking. Took my 3 pups, and due to their…read moreinability to flex their schedule my pups did get mats, After dropping them off I got a call that it would be $25 per dog extra due to matting. I said the prior owner never charged extra, was was informed that she is no longer the owner and, their words, the TORCHURE they would put my pups through costs extra. WHAT? I suggested they cut the mats close and a few weeks later we could groom them as normal. They refused and told me to pay the extra amount or come pick them up. Well, I don't pay the normal amount and expect them to be TORCHURED much less pay more for that. I picked them up. . Please, if your dogs are anxious about going there, maybe they aren't being taken care of the way they should. If I could rate less than a 1 I would.
