Playful Pups - Columbus, Georgia

M

I have been taking my dog here for the past four years for grooming. They've always been great. However, for the last two times they've suddenly gone downhill. It's like they're hiring groomers who don't know how to cut dogs' hair. I've specified she be cut short but not too short, and each time she's come back with razor burn. She's scratched so hard because it itches badly she's made herself raw. This was the last straw. No more. I'm done. Stay far away if you care about getting a quality groom for your dog because this ain't it.

This is my pride and joy... My Bella. Love her to pieces. Playful Pups was recommended to me by my friends and they take of your precious: feeding them, bathing them, and taking them outside and give them treats! I definitely recommend this place!!

This was my first time here and I really liked the professionalism and staff was very nice. Honey looked exactly like I wanted her. I will definitely
be back. Honey's new grooming place. Thank you Olivia for taking care of my fur baby.

I've been using Playful Pups now for two years and they are awesome. We tried a couple other places in town, and they were not even close to the professional atmosphere and joy I feel when bringing my two Doodles, Hugo and Watson, here. They are always excited to come play with the others, and the staff are always good to them and they never hesitate to run off with them to play. They are exhausted from all the fun they have when I pick them up and can't wait to catch a nap a home. Though it's not my regular groom because I live a little farther away, I have used them a few times between grooms when they get messy and they do a great job with reasonable pricing. Recommend this place to everyone I meet, especially if you got a lonely dog at home all day.

I cannot praise Playful Pups enough! I boarded my sweet, 13 year old German Shepherd, Sadie there for 10 days after doing a little research on Playful Pups and other boarding places in the area. She did a behavioral test day and did fantastic. The staff are all very nice and energetic. They were willing to show us around, where the pups sleep, play, etc. when first walking into playful pups, hon will notice it smells VERY clean, which is a pleasant surprise.

The pricing is very fair and affordable. I called twice during my dog’s stay to see how she was doing and the second time to add a bath before we picked her up. She was bathed, nails clipped and groomed very well. I’m extremely happy with our/her experience at Playful Pups and will definitely be recommending them and boarding with them again.

When walking into the building to speak with someone about my dog attending daycare, an employee immediately ran out to yell at me to leave. He stated that they did not take walk-ins, which was fine because I wasn't inquiring about daycare for this day. However, they don't answer their phone (I called multiple times) so that these questions could be asked. I did have my dog with me so that I wouldn't have to make 2 trips. I have boarded another pet here before and knew to bring shot records and that they needed to have a temperment test. However, it seems as though they are strictly appointment only. They should add a disclaimer on their website that they are not customer service friendly to walk-ins. Maybe the employee was having a bad day, maybe he yells at everyone. Either way, I'm glad I was able to see this employees true colors. I'm not sure my dog would be safe around him.

Playful Pups is hands down the best business for all of your dog’s needs in this area. Between day care or boarding, they are incredibly professional and helpful. The temperament test is an added plus to ensure your pets are socializing with other dogs they get along with.

Though there were some unforeseen circumstances with my dog, I still highly recommend Playful Pups; with a special kudos to the Vet Techs and Rob who gave me some very solid advice with my dog.

Checked out 2 other local places and this was hands down the best for my baby! They showed me the facilities, did a trial (free) day to test temperament, and offer nice deals on packages. After just a couple of times they knew him by name. On office days, I ask my little guy if he wants to go to daycare and he starts leaping up in the air with enthusiasm. He always runs right in when we get there and comes home tired, so I know he’s had a fun day with his furiends.
