Our last three dogs were cared for by Dale and her talented groomers. They loved our Bichon, who passed away years ago, and then our two Havanese. Highly recommend this groomer, including for older dogs who need more support and patience. There may be a long waiting list to get in but it's worth it! read more

I absolutely love this place. My golden retriever mix is almost 14, blind, diabetic, with mobility issues, and keeping her thick coat clean and trimmed in all the right places is now more important and more difficult than ever. They started taking care of her the moment we walked in the door, they were very gentle and patient and they told me that her appointment would actually take longer than a usual appointment because of her age, that they would likely take lots of breaks and move slowly so she wouldn't get too tired (she has issues standing) or get scared during her shedding blowout. I picked her up and she looked beautiful, so soft and smelled great. They told me she needed help standing in the tub so I'm glad they helped her. Her hair was clipped specifically so she wouldn't get dirty when trying to use the bathroom (little old lady problems) and her nails and paw fur were trimmed to give her better grip when walking on hard floors. Loving the reprieve from shedding, too. They even figured out I was military and told me to tell them next time so I could get my discount but I didn't even bother mentioning it because I figure they earned every penny. Thank you guys for making life a little nicer for my old baby! read more

Dalespets - Pet Groomers Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

See all

This pet grooming spot opened not too long ago. It's tucked away between the Dorn VA Hospital and the entrance to the 77-South. There is ample open place inside which allows you to see all the action. Appointments are preferred but they also accept walk ins (though the time to get your pet done may be longer). Grooms cats and dogs. Reasonably priced. We get a basic service for our dog which includes cutting all nails clean and trimming all around. We appreciated the "sanitary cut" our doggy is given (cleaning of the underside and her butt area). We have been to places where they trim her under-area and it looks like she got a doggy Brazilian wax. Let's just say Brazilians are not meant for doggies.....'nuff said! read more

Dalespets - Exterior from the street - Pet Groomers Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I just picked up my Aussie from getting groomed at Dalespets. It was her first time going here and we will be back again! We had been to another groomer in Columbia and it was overpriced, hard to book an appointment, and my dog seemed scared when she left. That wasn't the case at Dales! She got a basic cut and bath with some trimming up around her face, legs, and bum. When I first saw her she immediately looked 10x fluffier, and so shiny! She was so soft! I really like the set up they have when you come in - everything is out in the open so you can see them working and see all the dogs. I'm happy my girl was kept in a larger pen instead of a crate. I can tell that the staff really care for the dogs that come in here! Overall, Dales is the place to go in Columbia for a fair price with awesome service. read more

Dalespets - My girl after her appointment! She was so soft! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Took my Aussie here for her very first grooming experience! My Aussie was rescued from a puppy mill, which has caused her to have a lot of anxiety when it comes to getting bathed. The groomers here at Dalespets definitely took great care of her! When I picked her up she has happy and very relaxed. She also looked beautiful and was so soft! Everyone was pleasant, listened to all my concerns, and the services are very affordable. I also love that the dogs are kept in an open area. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I went to Dales after getting recommendations from several people on Facebook when getting my shih tzu puppy groomed for the first time. He went today and I was thrilled with the results. They said he did very well and was cuddled all day. I could tell he was pretty comfortable, because he seemed so comfortable and relaxed with the staff there. He was excited to see me but not like get me out of here now excited. I think my boy enjoyed his spa day and I can't thank the staff at Dales enough for making it a great first visit for both of us. read more

I really love these group of groomers. They seem like they really care. I like that they have 2 hour grooming. If you are not completely satisfied they will do what it take to make your pet look the way you want. They also give military discount which is really nice. read more

I have tried at least 3 different places for grooming here in Columbia. They've all managed to fall short in giving my baby Walter an appropriate Westie cut. Dale's does a great job. Walter started going there last summer. I now take him every 6 weeks for a cut, and every 3 weeks to get whitened and freshened up (I bathe him every 3 days, but he is white and likes to dig, so yeah). The pricing here is very cheap, compared to several of the other places we've been. They also are genuine pet lovers. read more

Dalespets - Post Grooming - Pet Groomers Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I took my two mini schnauzers to Dales Pets after not getting quality grooms from another groomer. The groomers at Dales did a superb job!

This is now our go to groomer! read more

We had been told before by groomers that our puppy "wasn't ready yet" to be groomed and that we hadn't prepared him properly. I brush him and pet him all over. He's a puppy though, they're never easy! We went to Dalespets today and they told me he did great! I was so nervous about going to another groomer.. they took such great care of him and he looks great! read more

We would not take our 2 dogs any where else. The staff is super sweet and our pups always look and smell nice when we pick them up. I have one dog who is pretty anxious and they always make sure she's in a pen near the groomers station so they can pet her, etc. read more
