Update: 3rd or 4th time wasn’t a charm for us. I think the team may have overbooked because the last couple of times I’ve taken him it’s just been a bath seems like. I’ve asked for a full groom per previous visit notes and it’s not the same. They are friendly just not doing it for us any longer. On to the next.I called this place on a whim a couple of weeks back, because we just moved here over a few months and it was time. They had just had a cancellation and told me to come on in. I typically get him groomed every month or so and in between I just bathe him. I miss his old groomers back in SC, but Jason was amazing accommodating my needs. Not sure if he is the groomer, but whoever is did a pretty good job. I wish I had met the groomer, would be my only complaint.

My dog came out the same way that she went in . They claimed that she didn’t like her nails clipped, so they weren’t. The build up from her draining eyes was partially still there. When i asked could they bring me a napkin so that i could wipe it a little, he pulls the build up off along with some of her fur. She’s a very well behaved 8 month old puppy, and has been groomed at least 10 times with absolutely no complaints. She wears a harness, so some of the fur on can get a little tangled from time to time. I’ve checked and the tangled fur is still there. She wasn’t even properly blown out. She has curly hair, after a groom, she looks like a little brown puff lol. Her tail wasn’t cut or barely brushed. This is my first time trying these groomers and i will NOT be coming back. I do not recommend this establishment.

HIGHLY recommend this place. I took my lab there for the first time today and he came out super shiny and happy! Everyone there was SO welcoming and I know they took super good care of my baby. I will definitely be returning! Thank you all for being so kind and loving!!!

Was ok. I just moved from Massachusetts and was looking for a groomer. I have to say I am shocked with Atlanta prices. Never paid more than $60 there and it’s crazy out here.Anyways this place just gives you a range of price, and then add on for stuff at random. Went from $60 to $80 just because he had matting. My dog is a silky terrier whose hair I brush regularly and it’s “silky”, never ever matted. Then they said that the groomer used some special scissors…. I was like why?? Then it was that he was difficult? It can be challenging to cut dogs nails, but isn’t that your job, training? You’re supposed to keep them calm.Just my honest thoughts and experience, that I thought I should share.

We love Animal House of Buckhead. They always have our golden looking wonderful. She is always so happy after she gets groomed. They take care to assist her with all her special needs. They are great about listening to special requests (even when we change our minds). Their services are reasonably priced and they hold true to their word that maintenence appointments are cheaper than make-over appointments. Dakota thanks you guys very much.

I cannot rave enough about Animal House! This is the first groomer ever where my girl doesn't immediately shake and panic when we walk inside. You can tell they take care of the dogs so well. The dogs in the waiting room always look happy. Bella always leaves with a smile and looks great. The bandanas are the cutest touch! Great quality, great customer service. I've only had top notch experiences here.

I was very impressed with Animal House. I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to since their service was so good! My dog, Brody, is a 65lb doodle mix and they did a great job with him. When I picked Brody up, they gave me a full report of how he did, how I should care for him at home, and they truly seemed to care for him. The dogs get to play with each other while they’re not being groomed—they even told me what specific dogs Brody liked to play with. They did a very thorough grooming job, and didn’t miss one spot. Thank you, Animal House!

Worst grooming job I’ve ever had. We discussed a half an inch off of my Aussies fur, and the groomer shaved him down to as low as they could without bare skin showing. Not only is this not aesthetic, it’s unhealthy for an aussies thermoregulation. Also his legs were covered in dried pee like he’d been forced to lay in it the entire afternoon. Clearly no care was taken during this grooming. Absolutely don’t take your pets here.

Animal House has been grooming our dog for about four years. Our dog can be a very difficult dog to groom because of her somewhat aggressive and skidding nature. The groomers at Animal House know exactly how to handle her and make her feel comfortable, not to mention they do an incredible job of making her look great! We appreciate their hard work and the way they make each and every dog feel like family. I would highly recommend Animal House!

I am leaving a review because I am so beyond disturbed after leaving the groomer today . We have taken our dogs here for two years because we really felt we had no alternative for a groomer . When we started going there we were semi satisfied with their service . Over a period of time it slowly declined . There were times when we picked up our dogs and were not even sure if they had been bathed . Their services are not cheap and we paid the money and didn’t question . The last time we went apparently the groomer didn’t even show up . Instead of contacting us to pick up our dogs they kept our dogs there for the day and did not bathe them and attempted to try to half groom them on their own which entailed no bath and a semi chop around my dogs face . Both of our dogs are very loving and friendly dogs who started to come home scared and very thirsty. They seemed afraid every-time we showed up at the groomer .When we questioned the owners they became aggressive and defensive. I am appalled by the fact that the son of the owner came to my car shaking a bag of my dogs hair in my newborns face aggressively telling me that my dog was too matted to groom even though we brought our dogs once a month with seemingly the same results . I do not recommend this groomer at all . It is hard to find a groomer in Atlanta for golden doodles however will groom them myself before I ever bring my dogs back to these Incompetent so called groomers .

Poorly run business - grooming results not worth the hassle as surely there are alternatives in the area. New to ATL and was recommended by another doodle owner we met out and about. Have now tried Animal House 3 times and majority were not positive experiences.On one occasion they put me down for something they call a “mini groom” instead of “full groom” - I found out at drop off and was told there’d be a fee b/c I had wrong appt type. Odd practice for something that was their error and not explained or outlined at time of scheduling.Next time, I call and explicitly request the full groom for both of my dogs to avoid the same fiasco. Unfortunately that wasn’t enough b/c when I showed up they didn’t even have my appts on the schedule. This was after I waited in the parking lot for 40 mins after their opening time b/c owner was “in traffic”. Again said they’d try to squeeze them in but couldn’t guarantee my requested pickup time (6 hrs after planned drop-off). Was going to take my dogs and “see what they could do” even though I might not be able to pick them up…They seriously need help on the business side of the operation. Will be taking our business elsewhere

Amazing experience today. Our dog Cali is a Goldendoodle puppy with a ton of energy and has been asked not to come back to multiple groomers. We were even given a prescription by our vet that might help with the last groomer but he called half way through and asked us to pick her up. We were nervous to say the least. She just came home looking great and was so happy. The guy at the front (sorry I didn’t get your name) was so happy to see her when we got there and played and played with her. I am so happy we found this place!!!

I took my pup to Animal House for the first time April 2019. They listened to what I asked for and he looks great! His length is consistent all over and he got a handsome bandana. He was ready at the time I was told he would be. We'll be going back!

We ( my dog and I) love them. They are right across the street and we have been there for three yrs. they were very busy during COVID but I tried to hold off and not go anywhere else. I can smell my dog being super clean with Justin and his brother giving my dog a bath vs anywhere else we go! My dog kicked them once 😳accidentally and I know that hurts - they were so nice about it!

I can’t say more nice things about this place/ my dog Lexi always looks amazing when she gets groomed here. She’s really small for an adult Pomeranian and they always handle her with the most care. I love the shop it’s clean and modern. The owner is always nice and friendly.

Not only do I love the people and services at Animal House, but my pup does too! Great service, incredibly friendly people, and a happy pup - what more do you need from a groomer?

The absolutely best dog roomer in Sandy Springs or Buckhead. I have been going to Animal house for 10+ years and have always had a great experience.

jumped price from $70 to $110 and did not provide the services stated to thedog. Cut dog and did not tell us. Did not do what they say they are going to do. It seems that it is all about the money.
