Dogs by Dianne

I open my car door and my dog runs to the door he’s so excited to be there. First time he did it I felt like chopped liver. I’m over it though… I love that Diane and Ben make him so happy!

I’ve taken my very «energetic» terrier to Diane and always been very happy with the results. She is very aware of Rosie’s skin problems and does a beautiful job washing and grooming her. Couldn’t be happier. I will continue to be a regular!

We’ve been going to Diane’s dog grooming 20+ years with our many Irish Setters. We are always pleased with the grooming. Diane & Ben are very friendly & willing to answer any questions. The best recommendation is that our dogs go in the shop wagging their tales and leave the shop wagging their tales.

this is an incredible establishment. i rarely write Unilocal reviews, but Dianne and Ben are worth the time and effort to spread the word! i am a first time puppy parent, and my 5 month old Havanese is incredibly shy and defensive. we originally had an appointment at another groomer for his first haircut, but were turned away because my puppy was too nervous. I frantically called around and spoke to diane on the phone and she immediately made me feel better. she even squeezed us in for a full session that same afternoon (incredible)!! when we arrived, she took over 30 minutes talking to me and playing with my puppy to make him feel less nervous, it was like our own one-​on-​one behavior training session. she has so much experience and really helped me as a puppy mom. i then left him with her and came back to pick him up and he was a sparkling, fresh, adorable puppy! Dianne really helped turn this day around for us. Thank you so much, I definitely recommend Dogs by Dianne!

Great service by Dianne and her son — Loving and caring, our Lab always comes home beautiful! Dianne is great to talk to with common sense answers when I have a question.

Dogs by Diane is the only place where I take my dog to be groomed. Not only do Diane and Ben do a great job with our Golden Retriever, Buck, but Buck loves it there!
Diane and Ben are very caring people and it shows with how they treat each dog and his/​her owner.
They are very astute regarding observing any changes in my dog, and when they find something that they think needs to be kept an eye on, they’ll tell you and give you suggestions as to what it may be (i.e. Skin conditions, bacterial infections, etc.)
If you’re looking for a compassionate and cost friendly groomer, you can’t go wrong choosing Dogs By Diane!

My dog Maggie comes home very happy after each grooming session. When we pull into the driveway, Maggie starts wagging her tail: she’s there for a spa day! She’s a maltipoo and needs to be groomed about every 8 weeks. I drop her off on a Saturday morning for a few hours, know she will be well-​cared for for several hours while she’s there. She comes back with her hair styled, nails done and happy as can be.

Absolutely top Westie groomer! Our Gus is happy to be left off for a couple of hours for wash and trim, and he always comes out looking great.

RUINED MY DOG’s coat! I asked her not to shave my dog, AND SHE DID IT ANYWAY! She insisted on shaving his «privates», and not only made him look terrible, but also gave him RINGWORM all over his groin area! I have spent hundreds on antifungal medicine for him, but his fur is still falling out in CHUNKS!!! I would NEVER TRUST her again!

We absolutely trust Dianne to do the best job possible on our Tibetan Terrier, Sara. She always comes out of grooming looking happy and cute and above all clean including ears and nails. We have been customers over 4 years. Working with us, she has come up with an aesthetic but shorter cut suited for a Tibetan. These dogs are hard to groom in full coat. Sara has a shorter manageable coat but still looks Tibetan, and we are pleased with that!

Love love love Diane & her seasoned advice & grooming skills !!! We will be back & Happy Halloween

I took my dog here last friday (aug.28^th, 2015) for a grooming. It was my first time taking him to Dianne. I will say, my first impression of the location, was kind of run-​down and I was not sure how safe the area was. Inside her shop, it was not the cleanest place, it was dirty and had a not so smelling order, which i took a star off for. However, I read all the reviews for her, so I felt confident my dog was going to be clean when i got him from his day at the doggy spa. She did sit down with me, fed my dog a chicken strip treat and to get him comfortable which i liked! I felt unsure about the place when leaving him but I also felt like he would be fine at the same time. My boyfriend came and picked him after (he was there from 8 – 4:30). Dianne did a decent job, but was not cut enough like I asked for her to-​do because Mini Aussies dont usually get hair cuts, but I need his fur short because he has some issues with getting his poop on his fur and he sheds horribly, took a star off for that. When i looked at my dog’s belly, he was nicked horribly. not just a small spot but a huge portion of his belly just above his penis, he has these horrible razor cuts, I took a star off for that. To say the least, I would not come back. The price was really reasonable but not putting my dog through the pain of razor burns or nicks on him is worth it for his well-​being. I am also not satisfied with the cut he was given but at least he was clean is all i have to say. I guess, i got what i paid for when it came for trying something that is more reasonable. I would not recommend Dianne.

My dogs are always happy after a cut & shampoo and they look handsome.

Dianne has a great way of relating to animals so that they trust her. I have a mini-​poo, rescue dog, Ginny, who has always been terrified of getting groomed. She would start shaking uncontrollably on the way to the groomers. Dianne was recommended to me by a neighbor so I called and told her of my situation. She had me come in early and we just sat and talked, with Ginny in her arms. By the time I left, Ginny was totally relaxed in her lap resting her head on Dianne’s arm. When I brought her in for her second grooming, she was not shaking, and voluntarily walked straight on in! What a change. You might say that Ginny has given Dianne 5 stars!

I love Dianne. She and her son now cut pups together. She is loving, caring, very reasonable and even boards dogs occasionally for people. The nicest part is she has a little outside area so she doesn’t force dogs to just sit in crates. I love that. I wish she was open a little more during the week because some days that work for me, she is closed. But she is so lovely we wait for her! My childhood doggy also went to her a million years ago so we know she truly loves what she does.

Since PetSmart is fully booked and I saw at Unilocal the ratings and reviews that Petsmart has. I tried looking for local pet groomers when I came across Dogs By Dianne. I saw the reviews so I called and set up an appointment right away.
When I entered the store, I immediately feel that Dianne is good with dogs. She sat while holding my Chihuhua (mixed with Scottish Terrier) and chat with us so my dog know that she’s not going to harm him. She also gave us tips and advice which is very helpful since me and my boyfriend are a first time dog owner.
We came back an hour and saw my baby looking neat and clean. She really did a great job. Definitely going back here.

We have had our pups groomed by Dianne for over 20 years. She loves her (and her customers’) dogs and it shows in her workmanship. I will continue to go to her when the need is there, with our current terrier and what other dog (s) follow her!

On my wife’s recommendation I took our 9 month old maltipoo rescue to Diane for a cut. I don’t have much experience with groomers, but I do know people and Dianne was very pleasant and obviously knew her business. When I picked up our pup he was happy as a clam and almost seemed like he wanted to stay. He looked even cuter after his cut. What a difference! I also liked the added personal touch of a little cloth bandana she gave him that matched his collar. Overall it was a great experience and reasonably priced. I’m pretty sure our boy will be excited the next time we take him to Dianne. I would definitely recommend Dogs By Dianne.

This place is just a few blocks from me. I’m so glad because Diane was great.
I was able to drop my dog off during lunch and pick him up after work. It was easy to get an appointment. As a small business that can be noisy, expect to play some voice mail tag but Diane is very responsive.
My dog was a street dog and had never had any care before I got him. I am sure he was a handful but Diane took it in stride. She was able to easily calm him down and when I left he was relatively calm. The dog is a pomeranian mix. He looks like a fox like pomeranian. I just had him cleaned up, all the mats removed and his hair trimmed shortish for the warmer weather. A very practical grooming. Diane had great advice and knew what to do. He looked so different, which Diane warned me of, now he looks more like a teddy bear like pomeranian! So, he’s just another sort of cute!

I first ran into Diane many years ago when I was volunteering with Hopalong Animal Rescue. Diane has done much probono work for that organization, making dogs just out of the shelter look great.
That said, I’ve never owned a dog that required grooming so I’ve never used a groomer before for my animals. But, after dog sitting my Dad’s new Aussie X dog Sissy, I was in desperate need. Diane worked me in with little notice and did a wonderful job. Sissy came back to us clean and brushed with a silky coat –and a cut bandanna.
I have a new dog now that has longer hair, so I’ll be seeing Dianne more frequently.
