I couldn’t recommend Happy Dog any more! The staff is all so friendly and my dog loves going there. I typically take him for daycare once a week. It means a lot when you run into staff members outside of work and they run up to your dog and remember his name and want to pet him. I also did a full groom for my German shepherd and they did a fantastic job!
Where do I start? I only make reviews if necessary, and this is absolutely one of those times. My now 1.5-year-old American Bully has been attending Happy Dog for almost a year now. As a first-time animal/dog owner, getting accustomed to the ropes was a challenge. Needing to attend a work trip, I boarded my then-pup…
We’ve used for doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming for 2 different dogs and am always happy with the care that the dogs have received. Customer service from the staff is always exceptional, going above and beyond on several occasions.
My boy Archer loves this place! I can’t say enough positive things about the staff, services and facilities at Happy Dog. I needed a daycare that stayed open longer hours due to my work schedule and they checked the box. I love that they also offer daycare on weekends! It’s so cute to see his excitement and wiggle…
We are just finishing week one. Mezzo is a (just this week!) one year old hound/beagle mix. She is enamored with her daycare experience. She went 3 half days this week, the first being an evaluation day to see if she was a good fit. I loved that we didn’t pay for the first day of evaluation, I thought this was…
Kudos to Amy! I couldn't be happier with my dog's grooming! They gave my pup the perfect haircut—it's neat, even, and exactly what I was hoping for. My dog smells absolutely amazing and feels incredibly soft and silky. You can tell they took their time and truly care about the dogs they groom. The attention to…
If my dog could review Happy Dog... he'd say 5 stars isnt high enough! The level of excitement he has coming here explains it all. Happy Dog has been such a blessing for us. The staff is top notch. You can tell they genuinely care for each and every dog that comes through their doors. The grooming services along…
Roscoe's and Jasper's favorite term is "Happy Dog." They LOVE this place, and so do we. The hours are great, the staff is helpful and friendly, as is the owner, and my dogs love it. They give them play breaks rather than running them ragged, as one place we took them to did. They treat them kindly, so my dogs WANT…
We take our dog Moe here and he absolutely loves it! They take great care of him, they groom him on site, they work with him one on one and we couldn’t imagine taking our dog to a better place where we know they care! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a doggy daycare service!!
Cannot say enough good things about Happy Dog and its owner, Jim. We’ve always been treated exceptionally well, and our dogs absolutely love going there. Jim consistently goes above and beyond—he even offered to help at 4 a.m. if I went into labor while I was pregnant. That’s true customer service. Highly, highly recommend!
My dog loves this place! I have a 3 year-old husky that I’ve been bringing here for about a year and a half on the recommendation of a co-worker and it was the best decision! My girl needs exercise and socialization or she gets destructive so this place is perfect. She’s always so excited to go and super tired when…
Our dogs just love Jim! Happy Dog is the ONLY place we will take our dogs for boarding. Unlike other places they get plenty of playtime that's included with the boarding fee. They are always worn out after a couple of days there and we feel they are safe and loved while we're away. We highly recommend Jim and Happy…
The staff was very kind & attentive to my dog. Very clean facility. Jim sent me photos of her since it was her first night boarding at Happy Dog. I love the flexible pick up times. I will be back!
My dog has a wonderful time at Happy Dog. She comes home happy and tired. We go every week
