We have known Lonna for several years now. She cares for our 8 year old American Cocker Spaniel. Lonna has such a special way with each of her clients and their parents. She is very knowledgeable about all the different breeds and wants to style the pets as the owner wants. She will also give her suggestions when requested. We have recommended Lonna to many friends and neighbors. She is the very Best. Thank you, Lonna.

We use Lonna's services for nail trimming. We have a 70lb pit bull mix we rescued from the shelter at the age of 2. She is a very protective, timid girl, but we love her. Nail trimming definitely had to be done by a professional. You could tell our dog was quite fearful to have her nails trimmed and likely had a bad experience with it in the past. At first it was a struggle, but Lonna was willing, confident and caring when working with her. Lonna clips then files the nails so that they are smooth and don't scratch or catch on anything. We continue to return to Lonna because our girl has developed a great trust in her. Now our dog readily walks into her shop, jumps up on the table and quickly gets her nails trimmed before she jumps down and puts her front paws on the counter waiting for her treat. We are in and out in less than 10 minutes and the price is very reasonable, even though the care she gives is priceless! Thank You Lonna!!!!

I was extremely glad to find a groomer who also does stripping and carding of Norfolk Terriers. Lana truly loves what she does and is very good at it. Our Norfolk Terrier always looks great after her grooming appt. Highly recommend her.

I have a very VERY hairy and active bearded collie (sheep dog). Ay Da Grooming was a fabulous experience for both me and my dog. My dog wasn't running scared at the end of the appointment, he smells and looks fantastic, and his ears (which are prone to residue build up) look better than when the vet takes care of them. The haircut was adorable, and just in time for holiday card photos. Worth every penny, she's incredibly experienced.

We've been searching the area for a dog groomer that could competently strip our Irish Terrier. Lonna ensured that we understood exactly what a proper stripping entails, and to our complete satisfaction our dog looked exactly as Lonna described. We couldn't be more happy with the results. Upon picking up our dog, he wasn't stressed so we could tell that he was comfortable being handled by Lonna. Lonna also offered advice on at home pet grooming techniques as well. We look forward to taking Louis back to Lonna when he needs to be stripped again.

We have a 8 year old Shih Tzu who has had some neck and back problems and been difficult to groom. We are so very happy to have found Lonna for his grooming. Our first experience at Ay Da grooming was truly wonderful and positive. We will definitely be regular customers of Lonna!

Tyson, our standard poodle, has been seeing Lonna for several years now. He always looks fantastic when we pick him up from Ay Da Grooming. We tried other groomers before, but Lonna is the best!

Nellie is mostly border collie with some sheltie, she is 14 years old and had never been proffessionally groomed. Nellie had a severe allergy that caused skin infections, her coat was a real mess and also had fleas so once we got her skin "cleaned up" I took her to Lonna. I picked up a dog that I almost didn't recognize! Nellie was beautiful and it was obvious she felt much better! I will bring her to Lonna every quarter now. Lonna knows dogs, no doubt about it and her prices are very reasonable. Thank you Lonna!

My 10 year old Mini Schnauzer/Silky Terrier mix, Schnickers, is very apprehensive, to say the least, about being groomed. Every groomer I have ever tried, from the time he was a puppy, would tell me they could not complete the grooming (ie: nails trimmed, hair pulled from ears, etc) because he would pull away and/or whine/cry. He made the groomers apprehensive! From the time meeting with Lonna, she was able to touch his paws without him completely coming unglued. Over the past year that we have been coming to Lonna, he has gotten less and less afraid of the appointment. I also have a very rambunctious 6 year old female Silky Terrier that loves going to see Lonna. :) I would highly recommend Lonna to any pet-parent, especially those who have pups that are less than thrilled about the "spa experience". :) Thank you Lonna for being so great at what you do.

My dog Mollie had never been formally groomed before. Even though she was a bit scared, she really liked Lonna. My dog was transformed before my eyes. Lonna worked quickly but was very gentle and patient. She also showed me how to properly hold the brush so I can do a better job of brushing in between grooming appointments. I like the ability to schedule my appointment online. I would definitely recommend Lonna to all of my friends and family with dogs! We had a wonderful first grooming experience!

Lonna is a wonderful person! She works very hard at what she does to provide my soft coated wheaten terrier a top of the line grooming care! This helps maintain my pet's health! She is courteous and prompt in returning calls and working with my schedule! You are the best Lonna!

Daisy (Australian Shepherd\Blue Heeler mix) looks great every time I pick her up from Lonna. Job well done!!

Lonna (Ay Da Grooming) is the best groomer I have found for my little Maltese, Daisy. Daisy started going to Lonna as a puppy and continues to get groomed by her a few times a year, even though we now live in Wisconsin!Lonna is very flexible and accommodating with scheduling. She has a very good "bedside manner" with her dog "clients." She gives Daisy an excellent, professional grooming, like no other groomer I have found. :)

I have taken my English Springer Spaniel to several local groomers and Lonna by far out did any of the other groomers. Missy looked beautiful and I know she felt like the star of the house when she got home. I will continue to have Missy, or any other dogs I may get, groomed by Loona.

Ay Da Grooming is the place to go. I have 2 Havanese dogs, one that has allergies, and has always had trouble with itching after a groom. Ever since I have been going to Lonna's, Daisy has never had that problem again. She does an excellent job not to mention a very clean environment which is very important to me. Try it - you will NOT be disappointed!

We had been searching for someone to keep our two poodles as beautiful as they should be, but had had terrible luck. One supposedly expert groomer made them look like Labrador Retrievers! A fellow poodle owner recommended Ay Da and we've been really impressed with the elegant cuts the dogs get there. One of our dogs actually loves to go there--she gets all excited in the car when she realizes we're headed to Ay Da. Plus, Lonna is prompt and absolutely reliable, another rare virtue, it seems, in a dog groomer.

Lonna is an excellent, gifted groomer who cares about her clients' dogs, knows how to make Fido look his best, and applies her considerable skills, artistry, and expertise with every grooming. She clearly has wide-ranging experience in her craft. Lonna is simply the best dog groomer in the metropolitan Iowa City area. My wife and I know this because Darcy, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, kissed a lot of frogs before we discovered Ay Da Grooming. Without any reservations, we give Lonna our highest recommendation.

We take our poms to her and she does a great job. Tilly looks just like a little princess when she comes home from Lonna's.

I am in the North Liberty area and I had been to Just Dogs and Petco for my Old English Sheepdog. I thought these places were overpriced and it took me weeks to get an appointment. Lonna at Ay Da Grooming is great with dogs, and pays attention to detail. When I pick her up I know my dog's ears, nails teeth ect will be perfect. I am comfortable leaving my dog with her, and I know she will be well taken care of. She can usually fit me in in the same week I call and her schedule is very flexible. I recommend her to everyone with a dog!

Lonna did a very professional job . Excellant grooming. She worked with us on the time and schedule with our 6 dogs. Her prices are resonable. We will be using her again.Thanks Lonna
