We couldn’t be happier with how our girls’ grooming turned out! We’ve been to several groomers over the years, and Lily Mae and Sadie Grace have never looked better than they did after their visit to Dixie’s Finest Groomers!
They both looked absolutely adorable, and we really appreciated that they were in and out…

I had no idea my dog could look this good! I’ve been to many groomers over the years, and Heather is DEFINITELY the best one by far! My Leo was in and out and still smells good days after. Every mat was meticulously conditioned and carefully combed out…NOT simply shaved off. If you haven’t yet gone to Dixie’s Finest Grooming…GO…you’re welcome 😉💙!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dixie’s Finest Groomers is truly the BEST!
I brought my 18‑week‑old Yorkie, Coco, for her very first grooming appointment, and I was honestly nervous. She had only had three baths at home, and each one was a struggle — she hated them. She also had quite a few mats in her coat, so I was worried she’d be scared, shaking, or traumatized when I picked her up.
One thing that immediately put me at ease was that the session was completely one‑on‑one. There were no other pets in the spa, which made the environment calm, quiet, and perfect for a puppy’s first grooming experience.
From the moment we arrived (10 minutes early), the owner and receptionist greeted us with such a warm, genuine welcome. Coco warmed up to them instantly, like she had known them forever. That alone told me she was in the right hands.
Her haircut turned out absolutely amazing — clean, even, and perfect for her little Yorkie face. But what impressed me even more was Coco’s behavior afterward. When I picked her up, she wasn’t stressed at all. She was relaxed, playful, and happy, which says everything about how well she was treated.
The owner even took the time to give me links to a brush and conditioner to help maintain her coat at home. Coco is my first pet, so I really appreciated the guidance and patience.
If you’re looking for a groomer who is gentle, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your pet’s comfort, Dixie’s Finest Groomers is the place. Coco and I will definitely be back!!! We drove from Downtown Atlanta for our visit.

Thank you so much Lisa for your kind words!💗 We know first grooms can be nerve-wracking, so we're thrilled Coco felt calm, happy, and comfortable with us🐾 She is such a sweetheart! We truly appreciate you making the drive from Downtown Atlanta- it means a lot. We can't wait to see you and Coco again soon💜🐶
