The salon
Our grooming salon sits inside the retreat on fifty acres in Brights Grove, minutes from Sarnia. Dogs already here for daycare or boarding can be groomed during their stay, so you are not making a second trip.
We are accepting new grooming clients. Appointments fill quickly through spring and the holiday season, so it is worth calling ahead.
What we do
Everything below is done in our own salon by our own stylists. If you are not sure what your dog needs, describe the coat over the phone and we will tell you.
A complete groom with a haircut, finished to breed standard or to whatever you and your stylist agree suits your dog.
A wash, blow out and thorough brush with no haircut. The right choice for coats that hold their shape between grooms.
A short, gentle introduction built around getting a puppy comfortable being handled, bathed and dried. Nothing is forced.
A bath, deep brush out and blow out that pulls the loose undercoat before it ends up on your floor. Double coated breeds benefit most.
Careful work through knots and mats. If a coat has gone too far to save comfortably we will tell you rather than put the dog through it.
A straightforward clip. Book it on its own if that is all your dog needs, no full groom required.
A smoother finish than clipping alone, and a better option for dogs who catch their nails on things.
Included with a full groom, or booked on its own.
Pricing and booking
There are too many variables to publish a price list that would be right for your dog. Size, coat type, condition, how matted it is and how much the dog will tolerate in one sitting all change the job. So we quote each dog rather than posting a number that would be wrong half the time.
Call us, describe the coat and what you want done, and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Grooming is booked by phone. Appointments are not taken through the online portal.
The team
Our stylists work across the whole salon, so whoever is on your dog knows the standard we groom to.
What to expect
Call and describe your dog, the coat and what you want. We will tell you what the groom involves and roughly how long to allow.
Bring your dog in at the appointment time. If they are already here for daycare or boarding, we take them from the run and you do nothing.
We call when your dog is ready. If anything came up during the groom, a mat that had to come out short or skin we think you should look at, you hear about it at pick up.
We quote each dog rather than publishing a list. Size, coat type and condition change the job too much for a flat price to be honest. Call and describe the coat and we will give you a number.
No. The salon is open to everyone. If your dog does come for daycare or boarding, we can groom them during their stay.
By phone, on 519-542-0070. Grooming is not booked through the online portal.
Yes. Appointments fill quickly in spring and around the holidays, so call ahead where you can.
Usually. How far a coat has gone decides whether it can be brushed out or has to come off short. We will tell you honestly which one it is rather than putting a dog through hours of de-matting.
Yes. Nail trims and nail grinding can be booked on their own, no full groom needed.
We continue to provide a valet service for our daycare, however our lobby is open, you are welcome to come in.
