Smudge's Dog House, Boarding Daycare Grooming Self Serve Wash. 6295 Templeton Gap Road, Colorado Springs, CO 80923

"The first day I picked up Rito from day care a very nice man brought her out patted her on the head and said “You did good kid”. Since that day any time we are close to smudges Rito will freak out hoping we go to daycare. I have used smudges for boarding, daycare, and grooming and each service gets 5 stars. Staff is so friendly and it warms my heart that they remember Rito even though we aren’t as regular as we used to be. The groomers are amazing and really listen to what you would like trimmed. Smudges will be our forever groomer and daycare."

"Smudges is the best!! Thor has been going here for almost two years, twice a week for daycare with nothing but happy tails, dragging me to the door to go in. I cannot say enough kind words for the owner and his team- they are just wonderful people, love dogs and are genuinely nice people too. It’s a great way for Thor and me to start a day at drop off, and he’s a well behaved, tired out pup at home after. It was not easy to find the perfect place for him to go, I know that struggle and navigating reviews, but the search for us ended immediately and joyfully with Smudges."

"Olaf had so much fun playing at Smudge's Dog House! He was well taken care of, not too stressed away from home, made lots of new friends, and didn't even smell like he'd playing at a doggie daycare. Since so my pups get washed up here, Olaf was as fresh as ever when he came home. He's looking forward to my next trip so he can play again."

"I took my Aussiedoodle puppy here (first time being groomed) to see Alicia. She was very nice. I had realistic expectations knowing my 13 week old puppy might be a challenge to groom and need to get used to a lot. I told Alicia what I wanted (puppy cut) and even showed her pictures. When I came back 1.5 hrs later to pick up my pup, I didn’t even get to see her before paying. I paid $55 plus a 15% tip, sight unseen. When I saw my puppy, she looked nothing like the pictures I had shown her or even close to what I described. My puppy came back looking like poodle. Not at all what I asked for. The first and second photos is my pup. The third is what I showed her I wanted. Alicia was very nice but I won’t be back."

"The first time I took my Husky after his groomer retired was about 6 months ago. As soon as I walked in the door the staff was awesome and so helpful. I have taken him back 3 times since then as well as my niece with her dog 'Smudge'. Every time has been great, the place is clean and you can really tell that they care for all of their furry customers. I will continue to go back."
