Adorable fabric flower they sent her home with

Caity C.

My puppy just had her first grooming experience & Dunedin Happy Tails did awesome! Since she still has puppy fur, this was a nail trim, ear cleaning, & bath combo, plus some playtime. Extremely reasonable prices (honestly it was like 1/3 of what I expected) and the staff were very nice. Drop off and pickup were easy, though it was definitely busy at 9am on a Saturday. Looking forward to our next visit!

I travel frequently and always have my goldendoodle with me.. this makes finding a great groomer a challenge. I was SO happy to find Dunedin Happy Tails! Not only does my 70lb goldendoodle look perfect and just like I had requested, he had a great time while at Happy Tails playing with all the other dogs. The staff here is very nice and the place itself is very clean. I would recommend Happy Tails to anyone that is picky on how their dog is groomed, I am usually disappointed but they did a fantastic job. His eye lashes are already the talk of the neighborhood when we go on our walks!

Look at this horrible job and I pay $60 for this ! From 9:00am until 5:00 pm

First hair cut was amazing, Angela took care of our dog and did amazing, second time I brought our dog on a Saturday at 9 am they where really busy, at 3:30 call to see if our dog was ready and they say not! So I call at 4 and they sendd me a picture of my dog wIth a horrible hair cut all shave and his head long I say he looks funny so they where supposed to cut that up! When I pick him up at 5:00 pm ! They where just finishing him up ( he was there since 9:00 aM ! And I was in shock of the horrIble job they did ! ( was not angela was another lady ) I send Angela a picture but is like that was normal ! So I show up on her saloon aardvark she is like not you need aN appointment !! To fix what they do is wrong with Oort Dog! Everybody look at his hair cut and laugh look like a person without any experience did it. We pay $60 dollars for a horrible hair cut ! Very disappointed.

My Ruby loves going to Happy Tails! We have been going for over a year and they are consistent. We have a great relationship and she knows what works well with our Golden Doodles agreed upon cut. Angela the owner responds quickly via text. I love that she couples dog grooming with doggie day care so my dog can freely roam around for the day. I used to think I liked the scheduled visits and your dog is done in 2 hours, but the stress it put on her wasn't worth it. Ruby gets a day for her that feels more like a "doggie spa day" When I ask her if she wants to go get a bath... she is very excited to go see Angela and her team! That says a lot about them and the love and care that is behind what they do everyday. Thank you Happy Days for your high expectations! You deliver a difference that shines! Love, Ruby Red Rainbow

Yesterday, November 23rd, I brought my 4 year old Weimaraner mix, as well as my friends German Shepherd mix in for a grooming. They were dropped off and picked up from this establishment by my mom, who said that the staff was unfriendly and pretty uncomfortable to be around. One of the employees told my mom that we need to 'get rid of our harnesses' and continued to argue with my mom about off-leash walking, despite the fact our dogs were brought in on leashes and were well behaved. Seemed unnecessary and made the entire experience uncomfortable. Upon arrival the two large dogs were crated in the SAME crate. That is completely unacceptable, especially when there were other dogs roaming around and playing. The Weimaraner mix had a wound on his paw when we picked him up that was bleeding. The groomer assured that was not from the services so I assume it was a self inflicted wound from the anxiety of being crated in an inappropriately sized crate with another animal. However, the wound looks like it was from an incident with the groomers (photo attached). Our dogs also left extremely thirsty, and there was no water in the crate and no indication of how long they were in there. I brought me and my friends dog here because we had personally met one of the groomers, Megan, and her dogs personally. Her dogs were very well groomed and happy so we felt safe bringing our dogs to her. After hearing from my mom about the experiences we reached out to her, but her and the other groomers responses were defensive. They didn't apologize or mention at all the inappropriateness of having the dogs in the same crate. The other groomer however went on again about walking dogs off leashes. They assured dehydration was not possible and that water was offered throughout the day, but again there was no indication of how long they were crated. they were there from 10 to 2:30 and we were assured we would get a message when the dogs were done, but no one reached out so I had to text and ask the groomer if our dogs were ready, which they replied yes. Megan also told us in response to our concerns that "It is our philosophy to always act in the best interest of the dogs and they were safely cared for in our shop". I'm just not sure in what world it is in the best interest of a dog, and a safe care practice to crate two animals together for any amount of time. The grooming services were okay and my dog smells nice, but I've had a better grooming service done at Pet Smart.

Absolutely fantastic! We have a GS/Husky who hates being brushed much less going through a full grooming. They do such a great job! Fur, nails, everything. And the price is a pleasant surprise too.

Amazing place, and experienced staff with quality service. I would highly recommend Happy Tails to any of my friends or family. My Apollo, absolutely loves his spa day with Angela and her team.

Our female german shepherd had been "fired" from half a dozen groomers. She is super submissive but has lots of anxiety and groomers complained it took multiple people to handle her. One even called when she was still wet and had us pick her up (and charged us full price). We had the OPPOSITE experience with Happy Tails. She was immediately comfortable there, they had zero issues with her and she came home looking AMAZING! (She even got a pretty pink bow) So mad we didn't find Happy Tails 5 years ago when we got her or 15 years ago when we got our previous GSD. Dunedin Happy Tails is literally an answer to prayer. Wish we could give 10 Stars! read more

Don't bring your cat here- unprofessional. My cat rarely gets groomed as I groom her myself but I had to leave her with a pet sitter for extended period so she needed a good grooming. Made an appointment here for 9:30 dropped her off right on time. Got a text (not phone call) 3 hours later saying she came out of her carrier hissing and dug her claws into the arm of one of the groomers (and that the groomer was ok ...) and to come pick her up. Don't know why I needed to drop her off at 9:30 if she was going to sit in a carrier for 3 HOURS surrounded by dogs barking etc of course she is going to come out of the carrier stressed. No effort by the business to keep the animals separate dogs and cats alike, but she's not a dog she is a cat having her sit in a carrier like that for 3 hours then shooting me a text she can't be groomed is ridiculous. Now I understand they can't groom her like that, I'm not mad she didn't get groomed and I wasn't charged for anything- and I also understand I should have given her something to calm her as she hasn't been groomed in a while. But long story short don't recommend for cats. read more

Best dog groomer in the area. Today was our second visit, and my dog was excited to go in, and not stressed at all when I picked him up. I particularly love that all of the grooming is done out in an open area that you can see when you walk in and come back for pick up, so there are no secrets. They evoke a calming vibe from both the dog "parents" and the dogs themselves during the entire visit. read more

My dogs love going to Dunedin Happy Tails. They have a great time!! Angela is so great with the dogs along with her staff. They take great care of them. She also provides great feedback regarding the dogs. For the longest time, my dogs had harnesses because I thought that collars would choke them. That's a total lie and since switching to a collar it has been life changing walking the dogs. They respond way better on a collar and walking is more controlled. I would have never made the switch if it wasn't for Angela and I couldn't be more happy for her great advice. read more

Being new to town, I had a dozen questions and Angela smiled answering all of them. Griffin (the greyhound) got his nails done without a peep. Plus he made friends with the other dogs in the shop.

My dad took his elderly black lab for his regular grooming 2 weeks ago. Apparently they put all the waiting dogs together while they're waiting and my dad's dog got in a fight with another dog and required several staples down his back (the other dog was injured, not sure how badly.) He's going down there with the vet bills and hopefully they will do the right thing since this is on them. Not sure but it might be a doggy daycare although it's not advertised. I don't work with animals professionally and I know not to put unknown dogs all together because things like this will happen. Would give zero stars but that's not an option. Doing this for my dad because he's not internet savvy. I really hope the other dog is ok-the blame is 100% on Happy tails. read more

I absolutely LOVE this groomer! I am very particular about the cut my wheaten gets and Angela is very patient and understanding about it. She let me watch while she cut my pup's hair so I could make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. My dog loved going here, too! She would get very excited to see Angela. Not only is Angela great at her job, but she's also super kind and helpful. After I moved to another state and needed a new groomer, I was nervous I wouldn't find anyone as good, so when i did pick a new groomer, she called them to talk about what cut she gave my pup so they would know exactly what I wanted. I would 10/10 recommend! read more

My name is Stella and my dog is "Joey." Joey is a 12 year plus senior rescue and has heart issues. He is on heart medication and needs special care. I took him to "Dunedin Happy Tails" to be groomed, but I had bathed him at home prior to his appointment. His groomer "Angela" gently picked him up, placed him on a grooming table and was ever so kind and considerate of him. She asked me to stay and talked to Joey and rubbed his face during the time she groomed him. He looks absolutely handsome and was very calm while being groomed. This means everything to me, since he will be having heart surgery at UF and keeping him calm is my number one concern. Thank you Angela and Dunedin Happy Tails for your superb and loving service.

Angela and her staff have always been kind. I went to her after having poor experiences with another local groomer. I was very concerned my 1 year old morkie would start to have anxiety each time she would have to go for grooming. Angela was highly recommended and I read some reviews and was comfortable trying her services. Angela was very patient with me, listing to my concerns and asking good questions about Lily. Lily loves going to Happy Tails. She is running to the door when we arrive each time. She looks good and is very happy when I pick her up, not, frantic. I love it that the dogs get to run around a little to socialize. They do a good job grooming Lily. They have worked with me on pick up times because of my and mine husbands work hours. I only wish she had a doggie daycare too. Thank you Angela AND staff! read more

I am new to the Tampa Bay area, so I was on the hunt for a groomer for my 15 lb. super-fluffy ragdoll cat, Daisy (I attached a picture of her so you can see just how fluffy I'm talking about!). I am a crazy cat mom, so I am extremely picky about where I take Daisy, but I had heard good things about Dunedin Happy Tails, so I thought I would give it a try. I am SO HAPPY I did. I usually take my cat to get groomed about once a month, but since I was in the process of moving, it had been about 3 months, and her hair was matted, so I was worried that they would have to shave her beautiful coat to get the mats out. However, when I picked her up, she looked PERFECT. She has never been softer, and she smells SO good!! Even my boyfriend (who barely notices when I get MY hair done) commented on how nice she looks. Daisy has been to Happy Tails twice now, and both times she has looked amazing - like cat-show-quality amazing. Also, I'm not sure if anyone else's cat/dog acts strangely when you pick them up from getting groomed, but Daisy basically acts like she's been traumatized - she's such a diva. However, when I picked her up from Happy Tails, she was totally fine.. so clearly Angela and her staff were gentle. Also, I never write reviews, but I am so happy with the results, I had to! :) read more

My husband was a nervous Nellie leaving her and Paige assured us and even offered that we could call her anytime while Tacoma was there. Needless to say Tacoma loved it there and was so calm when we picked her up. (unfortunately at the other groomers she was hyped up) Paige did an excellent job with Tacoma and her coat was soft and smooth. The price was very reasonable for the services provided and I would strongly recommend Paige to anyone who loves their dog/pet and wants them to be cared for by a professional groomer. One can tell her love and respect for the animals she works with. Thanks again Paige for a remarkable experience. Greg and Kaye

I was visiting from out of town and needed to get three very furry maltipoos groomed. I have used…read moremobile grooming in the past and was much more comfortable knowing that I was literally steps away if needed. In addition, the prices were very much comparable or better than most of the brick and mortar grooming establishments that I had contacted. I contacted Tammy and found her to be responsive, friendly, and she made it super easy to book. I have one 'special needs' boy who needs to be cut standing, which can be a chore. Tammy had no problem with that. She is a former veterianrian techinician and that was extra peace of mind for me. On the day of the appointment, she sent me a text to let me know she was on her way. She arrived on time and was able to pull her truck and grooming trailer right in front of the house. The trailer is self-contained and very clean. She ensured that she understood the type of cut I wanted and then greeted my dogs. They were very comfortable with her immediately and climbed right into the grooming trailer without hesitation. I was extremely pleased with the cuts. Tammy also gave me some great nutrition and care advice on an issue that no one else seems to be able to pinpoint. Her advice has really helped. I really appreciated the extra care and concern in addition to the fantastic grooming. The cute bows and bandanas were a super nice touch. If you are in the market for mobile grooming, I absolutely recommend that you give Pet Grooming On The Go a shot.

I was excited to bring them back for a second appointment. I scheduled their appointment for 12 PM. I received a call at 1030 AM from the shop asking if I wanted to come in earlier than 12. I said "I will try to make it when I can." At 1201 I received a call from the shop asking when I was going to be there. The woman said, "I have been waiting since 1030. Are you almost here because I have to leave soon." I never promised to be there at a certain time other than their scheduled appointment which was at 12. Each of my dog's baths take at least half an hour so it did not make sense that she said she had to leave soon. Unprofessional and rude that this woman is frustrated that I did not come in earlier to accommodate HER.

He usually goes in for a bath and nail trim, and each visit leaves his coat clean, well-brushed, and under control. They handle heavy shedding well without overdoing it, and they always finish him off with a bandana, which is a nice touch. Customer service has been reliable and efficient over the years. Drop-off and pick-up are straightforward, and they stay close to the estimated timing. The staff handles Maxim appropriately, which is important for a larger, high-energy breed. The shop itself is clean and organized. The location is easy to access, and parking has not been an issue during my visits. It is a convenient setup for routine grooming without unnecessary hassle.

Always paid in full and alerted to concerns last two times with no resolution or offer to correct. Took several months off to allow hair to grow out even and get a fresh grooming start. Owner and team agreed that they saw my notes on account, then the day I brought in I discussed again concerns and history. Came to pick up and had an additional $40 charge for mat removal, that was not discussed or called to me. They stated we don't call to alert to additional cost/fees..WHAT? So, no need to address the cost associated to the service, I am just expected to cover no discussion? Please note, if called I would have approved if I understood the need, but while there could be areas to remove it was not anything of known nature or huge impact. Outcome: Poor Communication, Lack of corrective action when concerns presented and up charges for items not discussed. Be aware, services were wonderful until mid 2024 now I am questioning my provider options.

Walking in for the first time was the cutest thing. I looked to my left and saw an area for the dogs to be able to sit for instagram photo ops. I just loved that. Right in front were tons of different toys and birthday treats which is exactly what we were interested in for our girls. The employees were friendly and asked if there was any assistance that we needed but with everything on beautiful display it wasn't hard for us to pick what items we wanted to get them. As an everyday expense, I would say that this is a little high-end but for special occasions I think it's just perfect to be able to spoil your furry best friend(s). Our girls especially love dog friendly ice cream and they have that available so that was one of the number one items on our list. Once we got home with the girl's gifts and they got to enjoy them, and I would say they definitely gave them two paws up.

I moved from New York 4 years ago. I was looking for a dog groomer and I found my forever groomer. I have 2 dogs Hanna who is not friendly and does not like her nails cut and Oliver who is shy with strangers Well let me tell you I found the BEST place for my dogs. Angela the owner and her staff are AWESOME! The first time I went Hanna was refusing to go in. Angela came outside put her lease on Hanna and walked Hanna right in!! Oliver came in with me shaking and Angela just loved on him and he was good. Angela got right on the floor with Hanna and cut her nails without no problem! Oliver was bathe and trimmed exactly the way I wanted. Angela and her staff are always smiling and happy. The place is absolutely beautiful and clean. Even all the dogs are happy there! read more

I just recently moved to the area and I was kind of hesitant to try a new groomer for Boobear. He has been going to the same groomers since he was a puppy and I am VERY particular about his cut. I decided to give Happy Tails a try....I knew the first time would be hard, but Angela assured me that next time his cut would be done right. She went above and beyond for Boobear and he looks fantastic he get's compliments everywhere he goes on his cut. I am truly so HAPPY and appreciate all the care and hard work that Angela did for me and Boobear. She genuinely cares and takes a lot of proud in what she does. I will absolutely be going back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND**** read more

I had a bad experience with my goldendoodle at another groomer. I decided to give Happy Tails a chance based on all of the great reviews I read online. Angela got back to me almost immediately and told me to bring my puppy in the next day and she would take care of him. I was really impressed with how responsive and accommodating she was and really eager to help. When I dropped my puppy off, I felt like she really listened to what I wanted. I could tell that Angela cares about her customers and wants to see them happy. To top it all off, our puppy looks great. I was so pleased with his grooming and the customer service, we will definitely be back. read more

I recently moved to Clearwater and was looking for a groomer who could do a lion shave for my kitty, Max. My vet recommended Angela at Happy Tails, and it was a great referral. Not only did she schedule us right away, and perform the shave in just an hour, she did a beautiful job. I believe it is the best Max has looked after any of his lion cuts. He was so happy and calm with her, and when we got home, he immediately went to the mirror to check himself out. Then he posed for photos! That is one happy cat, and cat owner. Thank you Angela for a great job. I would recommend you to anyone! Lee K. read more

A very professional staff and environment, Angela and her staff took time with my two kids to welcome them and ensure they were comfortable. First time visitor and I drove an hour to get to them. Well worth it, I've never seen such results!!! My dogs both have a coarse coat and the cleanliness, softness and look of my German Shepherd and French Bulldog was amazing. Nails were trimmed perfectly and when I came to get my boys they were excited and happy.. definitively would recommend them and I and the boys will be back again soon. read more

Angela and the staff are the most courteous, professional, caring and kind people. They always put the pet first. Our two crazy dogs love going to Dunedin Happy Tails and sometimes I think they would rather stay there than come home. The environment is the best. Everyone plays well with each other which is awesome. The grooming is perfect, like show dog perfect, every time. The prices are more than fair. I would NEVER go any place else. read more

Last year, we rescued a Great Pyrenees, Winston, with the help of KK at Dunedin Doggie Rescue and our new friend, Rochelle. At that time, Angela utilized her patience and grooming skills over a lengthy session to transform Winston from a "hot mess" to a beautiful boy. Now, a year later, we want to acknowledge Dunedin Happy Tails for their professional care. Thank you, Dennis and Carolyn read more

We were referred to Happy Tails by our daughter, Brittany, who takes her cat, Fifi, to be groomed by Angela. We have had a lot of groomers, but were often disappointed because they would be rough with them. Our little pomeranians came back relaxed and looking and smelling beautiful. We would highly recommend Angela and Happy Tails to any of our friends with furry babies. read more
