    Our dog loves this place. She used to be apprehensive when we first started coming here but now she is used to Gryffindore.

    What a great place! I can't tell you in the many years of having pets and taking them to play/board how nice it is here. Finally, my pets matter and I'm not treated like an inconvenience. So many places I've been to before Griffindore I felt treated like a number and looked at as a money pit. Several times (at another place) I literally felt one of my dogs was returned to me as the bait dog. Full of pee, poo on the feet and was skipped her meal and food returned. The dog was so dehydrated, as well. Glad I found a place that treats pet and owner with respect. Thanks so much!

    Great place to board your dog. Great location and great hours. The owner is really great and I know my dog is safe there.

    I have taken my dogs for boarding and grooming for over 20 years and I couldn't say enough positive…read morethings about this place. they are very personable , accommodating and take such great care of my fur babies. I moved to Smyrna and wish I could find a place like this. I highly recommend.

    A completely unprofessional experience ... We were seeking a…read moreplace for our dogs from 10/4 to 10/14, but our normal place as booked. This was our first and LAST experience with Indian Shoals. We received an email at 5:17pm on10/3 requesting a deposit payment by 5:30pm. My spouse went online and paid. The payment processed through their system at 5:32pm (it shows a 5:26pm time from our bank). I get a text at 5:53pm stating our reservation was cancelled due to no deposit. I text them and inquired about it, they said it was processed too late (their system!) and the reservation was cancelled with NO REFUNDS. After some banter, they "did me a favor" and fixed it - what "favor" it was your system issue?! So, I agreed to allow my dogs to stay. I dropped them off at 2pm on 10/4 with an expected pick up time at or around the same time. On 10/14 I get a text if my dogs are not picked up by 11:45am there would be a late charge (even though I dropped off at 2pm!). I arrive at 11:57, due to some traffic SO they tried to charge me $15 each dog for being late. I told the front deck employee I dropped off at 2pm, with a 2pm pick up. She said "our system" shows 11:45 scheduled pick up, so your late. I paid the $15 each dog "late fee", it is $30 total, after some banter with the front desk employee ---- BUT, they have lost any future business from me. After I reviewed the invoice emailed to me, I noticed I was charged for an additional day of boarding. I had to call and request a refund for their error. I was told they "don't do refunds" - this was their error and they did not want to refund it! ... they finally agreed to refund the $57 over charge, stated it would be refunded to my credit card. After waiting three days for a refund confirmation and several follow up conversations, then they said they would mail me a check for the $57.00. A refund that could have been done same day took over a week to receive via check. Very unprofessional! While I understand owning and operating a small business, their policies add more stress to the process, the person who handles their text interactions is rude over text, and check your invoices for errors. Now lets talk about my pets - they were literally starving when I pickup them up on the 14th. They each ran into the house searching for food and water, acting like they never ate. I supplied ample food for each dog, enough to have extra, which I never was offered back (I forgot to ask with all the frustration). They can keep the extra food, but hopefully this review helps others make better decision on where to trust their animals. Just Stay Away !!!

    I wanted to leave an honest review about my experience because I almost allowed the negative…read morereviews to influence my decision -- and I'm glad I didn't. I brought my dog Abundance to this location in McDonough, GA. When I first arrived, I asked whether she would need dematting or detangling and was initially told she looked fine. Later, I received a call that she would need some dematting, which could range from $10-$25. I'll be honest -- I became concerned because I had already read reviews about upcharging, and I was also working within a very tight budget at the time. I expressed my concern, and in hindsight, I regret how I approached it. The groomer was understandably offended, and I truly felt bad afterward. I apologized because I realized she was simply doing her job and being honest about what my dog needed. Despite the uncomfortable start, she still moved forward and groomed Abundance -- and I am so glad she did. Not only did she do a good job, but something very important stood out to me: My dog came back HAPPY. Abundance goes to the groomer regularly, and typically when she comes home, she's quiet, withdrawn, and goes straight to her bed. This time was completely different. She came back happy, spunky, and in great spirits -- like her normal joyful self. As a dog mom, that meant everything to me. The groomer also chose not to charge me for the detangling, which I truly appreciated, especially given my situation. That level of kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed. I also want to say -- don't let negative reviews automatically discourage you. Every experience is different, and in my case, the groomer showed patience, professionalism, and compassion. I plan to return to tip her again when I'm able because I truly appreciated her work and how she treated my dog. Thank you for taking care of Abundance and making her experience a positive one.
