    I've been taking my white cockapoo (cocker spaniel-poodle mix) here for years! I began as a client when Ashley had her small, family run grooming business out of her home. As her business grew she opened up The Smiling Dog in Rocklin. And boy does business keep on growing. Ashley is the one who cuts and designs my dog's sometimes elaborate do's. Once we grew and groomed his hair to look like a stegosaurus. My dog usually rocks a Mohawk with a bushy lions tail. with everything else shaves close. Ashley does shape the hair on his face to look so cute. She is a true sculpture artist for sure, on a moving target no less. They have animal friendly dye, which reassures me that my baby is safe. Rachelle the dyeing expert, dyes like a true artist. She does hombre styles so well! My dog's hair styles have brought on-lookers smile and laughter often. People have even stopped their cars to comment on my dog's colorful hair styles. Once on a walk at the park, a little girl screamed out with delight, "Look! A tie-dyed dog! I've never seen a tie-dyed dog before!" We also take our other dog there to be groomed as well. She's a mutt of every sort so she's hard to describe. But she comes out looking great. Their basic groom includes everything; shampoo, anal gland expression, nail trim, ear cleaning, and your desired hair cut, if need be. And of course dye jobs are extra but not expensive at all. I highly recommend The Smiling Dog!

    Hats off to the lady who groomed by rescue dog. My dog's hair was matted, gunks in her ears, and pretty foul breath. The sweet groomer took her time since Emmy was so scared and it was her first time. 4 hours later, I picked up a happy and cleanly cut dog. We agreed to shave all her fur and have a fresh start. I can't wait to see her beautiful coat once it grows back. Her bad dog breath and smelly ears were gone!!! I am so impressed with the skill, patience and time spent with my baby. Thank you!

    Hurt dog!  Shaved him raw to the point of blood!  Enough!

    They fired me as a client today because I called them out in injuring my dog for the 2nd time. Instead of apologizing and being more diligent in grooming they decide we are not a "Good fit". You tell me if this is ok with you if it was your Golden Doodle? Apparently they don't let me post the picture but they injured his testicles for the second time... Made them bleed... Seriously hurt him. We usually had good luck with them but being disrespectful to me and telling me I'm not a good fit when you hurt my dog is enough!

    Bella, the day after grooming. We love Ashley and The Smiling Dog!

    My two goldendoodles have been going to Ashley at The Smiling Dog even before she moved out to Rocklin. She is kind and we trust her with our dogs. I had tried several dog grooming facilities before her and she was the only one that my dogs got excited about when we would arrive. That speaks volumes! Thank you Ashley for taking care of our sweet babies and for all that you do!

    Guess she thought this was cute

    Never thought I would write a bad review for Smiling Dog, but I guess once they have security they feel that can do and say what they want. My 6 month old puppy came home looking worse than when we sent her. Ashley , the owner and groomer, thought this was an acceptable way to send her home and had the nerve to charge $60 for it. She had all kinds of excuses, none acceptable. When I complained, she laughed. She is a perfect example of forgetting how she got where she is!

    We have been taking our dog to Ashley for years. Nala has many allergies and health problems but Ashley and her staff always listen and work with us. We have done both grooming and boarding and have been absolutely pleased with both services. When I have questions or concerns Ashley always responds quickly and is very professional and kind. Our dog is terrified of car rides but comes quickly when we mention Ashley's name.

    We bring our 8 month old Goldendoodle here for daycare a few times a week and he absolutely loves it! The staff are friendly and I love that they are just as excited as he is when he arrives. Dallas (our puppy care provider) is such a sweetheart and obviously a total dog person! I also had him groomed here for his first haircut. Our boy has pretty wild hair and they did a great job grooming him. I was very specific about wanting him to still have the teddy bear look and they did exactly what I asked. I appreciated their patience with my energetic puppy during his first grooming. He looks adorable!

    I love this place! Our dogs get so excited when we turn on to Granite drive! We went on vacation and left them here for a week knowing they would be safe and have fun! We have since dropped them for doggy day care and another night. We've had our husky groomed. They did AMAZING and she smells so good! I'm so thankful for Ashley and her crew. They love our dogs. They truly are awesome. Our dogs are so tired when they come home!!

    BEST GROOMER EVER. I could not be more happy with their service. My baby Maltese always looks amazing, the cut is consistently the same and I don't have to constantly remind them what I want. They have a new facility out in Rocklin which is farther for me to go, but it is WORTH it. I am so glad I found them! Thank you!
