Dandy Dogs With Happy Paws

My Wheaton Terrorist as I affectionately call him has been rejected by countless groomers since our Groomer quit a few years ago. I cut him but I am certainly not a professional. Lorena was brave enough to meet with Wheatie and take the time to develop a relationship with him. On the day of grooming I did not know what to expect but he turned out beautifully. He was transformed into a beautiful Wheaten. He came out calm and looking so good I almost cried. Not many would take the time to figure out why a dog is so scared of groomers but I am thankful Lorena did. I highly recommend Dandy Dogs.

Thumbs up to Dandy Dogs and Lorena Robinson! This pet spa is located in a very non descript strip mall on Atlanta rd near the intersection of Atlanta rd and Cumberland Pkwy (E/W Connector). My dry cleaner is in the same development. I would never have known about this pet spa if it wasn't for the fact my dry cleaner was a couple doors down. Its like a hidden gem. One day after picking up my cleaning I figured I'd stop in to Dandy Dogs (I think the sign just says "Pet Spa") just to check the place out and see what they would charge to groom my golden retriever.



Immediately after walking in I was taken back by how personable Lorena (the owner and groomer) was. The environment is lofty. It's just one big open space with small areas for the nice dogs to just be free and an open air pen style section for dogs that might need timeout or just a little down time. The place is clean, smells good and there is classical music playing in the background.



Lorena started by asking questions about my dog. She shared details on her technique, the materials she uses to groom and bathe (including the fact that she uses as many natural and organic/ non chemical items as she can). She even discussed how she does some sort of blueberry mask facial on the dogs so as to avoid getting any shampoos around their eyes.



What I really liked is that the whole time she was telling me about her services, the dog she was grooming (a bichon) was just sitting in her lap looking at her like she was some sort of dog whisperer. Lorena was loving all over the dog in such a genuine way the whole time we spoke. At that point I honestly didn't care about what the ultimate punch line was re: her cost. I knew I wanted to schedule an appointment.



Finally when she told me her costs I was literally shocked. Her price for a regular groom was about 30% less than what we were paying another local groomer.



Earlier this week we had our dog groomed with Lorena. She did an amazing job and just like that little bichon, our golden was just so happy when we picked her up. It was like she truly had a day at the spa.



Thumbs up to Dandy Dogs and Lorena Robinson!

Lorena does an amazing job. The salon is clean and peaceful and I love bringing my dog here! I have been to several places in Atlanta and none of them come close to Dandy Dogs!

This is the cleanest grooming salon I have ever been in. Lorena and her staff are very concerned about my shih tzu. She is an older dog and is very set in her ways. Lorena goes out of her way to make her feel secure and happy while she is being groomed. I am always happy with her haircut and so is she as she struts out of the salon saying look at me.

Lorena has started a senior citizen discount and it is greatly appreciated as I am a senior on a fixed income. I recommend this salon highly.

We love Dandy Dogs!! Our Khloe has been going to this spa since we had her and Lorena and her staff always do a great job with her grooming and care! She always is friendly and has her ready at the appointed time!

This is the best grooming place I have ever taken my long haired chihuahua. They don't put the dogs in cages, instead they have many play pens with chew toys, blankets, water, etc... The play pens are in the room with people, not in some back room. I think this helps the dogs feel more comfortable. The salon is spotless and never smells like dog, or even chemicals. Lorena is wonderful and truly cares about the pets! My little pup comes home clean, cute, and happy all for one low price (plus a tip!!)

Dandy Dogs is my yorkie's FAVORITE place to go! The owner Lorena Robinson keeps "Lacy" when we go out of town or just for her to have a "play-date" with the other dogs. Dandy Dogs is reasonably priced and I am ALWAYS satified with Lacy when I pick her up!

Lorena truly cares about all dogs and takes great pride in her work. She is very professional and genuinely loves what she does and is great at it!

I wouldn't dare take Lacy anywhere else!

I experience Lorena as very kind and a safe person who makes my dog feel safe with her. She is very considerate of my dog's needs and mine, deeply attuned to what is best for my dog, committed to integrity in her work and in her words.

Her genuine love for all dogs is evident with the time she takes to make the dogs comfortable. It is a pleasure to watch her loving care for each dog.

I also appreciate the time she takes to be thorough in knowing what each dog needs.

The place is warm and welcoming and each person who works there is caring and concerned for the dogs' well being and they all give the best care and respect.

I have seen her with others and all receive genuine caring and respect.

I believe the person who gave Lorena and Dandy Dogs a bad review totally misunderstood. Lorena's character is loving, respectful, caring, honest, and responsible and consistent.

I cannot put in to words how wonderful Dandy Dogs is!. Lorena(the owner) is the only groomer who has been able to cut my short hair Havanese properly. She is the only person I trust my dog with and we have been and will be loyal customers. I HIGHLY recommend Dandy Dogs with Happy Paws to anyone who wants a groomer who is trustworthy, friendly, professional and who really cares about the overall well being of your pet (A.K.A. baby). She is only satisfied if you and your are happy. Before Lorena I have tried every groomer in this Smynings area and by far Dandy Dogs is the Best!!!

THIS PET SPA IS BEAUTIFULL APPOINTED, COMFORTABLE AND ELEGANT. IT SMELLS WONDERFUL. MY DOG LOVES TO GO THERE AND RUNS TO LORENA AS SOON AS HE SEES HER. I LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY GIVE HEALTHY TREATS. I ALSO APPRECIATE IF I AM RUNNING LATE (TRAFFIC ETC.),THEY WILL WAIT FOR ME TO GET THERE FOR PICK UP .LORENA ALWAYS CUTS MY DOG TO MY INSTRUCTIONS AND HE LOOKS GREAT. I LIKE THE FACT THAT MY DOG RELAXES AND ROAMS FREE WHILE THERE. AS SOON AS I PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT MY DOG GETS EXCITED. HE CAN'T WAIT TO GO INSIDE. I AND MY BABY LOVE DANDY DOGS.

Dandy Dogs Pet Spa is one of the BEST pet spa grooming in Smyra. The attention the dogs receive as well as the excellent grooming services Lorena provides is top notch. The facility is clean, trendy and a fun place. The dogs are relax and get to enjoy play time before there services. My yorkie Skylin loves going to Dandy Dogs for her grooming and the special doggie treat she gets. I highly recommend Dandy Dogs it's the BEST.............



Dandy Dogs Pet Spa is by appointment only, but it's well worth calling ahead to schedule this special time for your dog. Lorena and staff loves dogs. Give it a try you and your dog will be HAPPY you did!!

Best grooming place I've been too !!!!! I would'nt take my dog any other place. They enviroment makes me comfortable. My dog is very at ease when i bring her there and when i pick her up she looks as if she is off the show room floor. Lorena knows her ish !!!!

Dandy Dogs Pet Spa is the greatest!!!, It is clean and a safe fun place to take my dog. They book by appointment only and is never over crowed. The dogs are allowed to stay out and roam around unless Lorena is grooming someone, then they are put in pens where they have toys and can play. They aren't kept locked up in cages all day making me more comfortable with leaving my dog there. They get filtered water and good treats while they are there too. Just by talking to Lorena I could tell she really loves dogs and enjoys her job. Oh did I say the place is very clean, it smells clean and looks great, .

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have taken my Pug to a few places here in Smyrna and Lorena Robinson at Dandy Dogs is the best! She is very knowledgeable, meticulous, and safety conscious of all her clients. I watched her unclip a small dog from the grooming table and carry it just 2 steps away so she could reach a tool without leaving the dog unattended on the table! The spa is very clean, comfortable, and trendy. It dose not smell of bleach or dogs, it is just clean. Also, the spa is not packed with dogs running around, making look more like a kennel. Dandy Dogs is quiet and only has a couple of dogs at a time. Lorena also took time to answer my questions about how I can better care for my dog. (This is the first time I have owned a Pug and they need certain care with regards to wrinkle cleaning, nails, and shedding.) Lorena has a genuine love for all dogs that come thru her door and cares for them as she would her own. I can not say enough good things about this place. First time clients get 10% off, (at least that was the deal when I first went there) As for the bad review she got, it sounds exaggerated and slighted. I could never imagine Lorena doing anything like that. I am glad I ignored the bad review and gave this place a try, I will be back for another grooming!

I was very disappointed with this dog groomer. The owners name is Lorena Robinson I dont believe they even gave my dog a bath, when I picked her up, she still had dry poop in her fur. Her nails had not been cut short like I asked. The owner of the store rang me up, and she told me it was going to be $30 but when I looked at the receipt, she had charged me $45. When I brought this to her attention she was like oh did I say $30. I hope that the owner of the shop reads this review, and if she would like to contact me to personally apologize, then I will retract my review.
