Living downtown, we used to trek to Markham to go to Pawllywood because we loved their cut, service…read moreand value. Since we moved to another area, we have been going to other groomers, which have been ok. While walking on Queen St. one day, I was surprised to see a Pawllywood in downtown Toronto and realized it was the same one as the one in Markham. We immediately booked an appointment for our small poodle mix, and there was a lot of availability that fit the times we were free. The day of our girl's grooming took two hours, and she had the best care ever. Her cut was so cute, and we loved the grooming report that we received afterwards. Our dog, who is usually anxious at the groomer's, was instantly relaxed. Similar to their location in Pawllywood, we were impressed with the service and the value that Pawllywood offers. We are very happy that Pawllywood now has a location downtown, and will now be our go-to groomer.

My quiet little Shih-poo may be every dog groomer's worst nightmare. Contrary to the usual cooing…read morefrom his grandparents and other random senior citizens, groomers seem, well, somewhat exasperated by him. Sometimes it was a dismayed comment, "what a little monkey your dog is", which is particularly upsetting for the less obvious reason that I had indeed settled for dog instead of actual monkey. Or, an admonishing, "it took 3 of us to groom him" which invariably follows the unspoken: better leave bigger tip. Fortunately, a few years ago after giving up on another Yorkville groomer, I discovered Pawfect Spa. The space is clean and bright and the staff are friendly, but what really got my attention is that the owners are not just shop owners, but also dog owners of seemingly high maintenance dogs! Trust me, this is quite rare in my experience. Though it's going back a few years since my dog's first groom at Pawfect Spa, I clearly recall my surprise when I meekly asked the usual, "uh, how was he?" and received the unusual, "he was great." Yes, he looked great, in fact, my partner couldn't resist referring to him as "toy dog", but what about all that monkey business? The groomer seemed perplexed by my concern for her sanity and I, for the first time didn't have to offer an apology! Still, when I returned the next time, I asked more directly, "was he difficult?" to which the groomer sweetly replied, "well, he doesn't like his paws touched, but one of us talks to him while the other grooms." And let me reiterate, the grooming IS great; actually, it's only gotten better over time and still not even the slightest grievance from any of the groomers. There has never been a cut, nick or scratch nor have I ever seen him returned to me with irritated bloodshot eyes. It did take a few visits to figure out the length I preferred on his limbs and face, but once we did, Elsie took photos and matched it each subsequent visit. Lastly, a couple of years ago, my dog started losing hair and Elsie suggested he get checked out for Cushing's Disease. I did, and well, she had totally called it. If Elsie was my vet, she would have saved me almost $800 for various tests that simply confirmed what she had suspected. It's been a relief to find a dog spa that I can trust and unlike previous groomers, I can genuinely say that I don't fret when my dog is with Elsie and her staff. I highly recommend and will keep going back!

I have tried so many groomers in Markham over the years as a dog owner. Covid really changed…read moreeverything a lot. Prices have gone up, quality has gone down. Our OG a groomer sadly closed her shop and never reopened. When we brought home our newest furbaby 10 months ago, instinctively, I took her for grooming to another spot where we used to take our last pup. The price had tripled, a lot had changed and there was no transparency with services or pricing. Needless to say, I never went back. I received a few recommendations and one of them came highly recommended by a friend and fellow trusted dog owner. This is how we arrived at Q Studio. Quaint little shop tucked away beside Roll Me Up Ice Cream and a hair salon on Main Street Markham. It is a small shop, but clean and well maintained. Our furbaby loves her visits to the shop. Her grooming is always neat and exactly what we discussed on her very first visit. They are very consistent with the quality of grooming and if it is going to take 2 hrs, they are very communicative with letting us know if she is almost done or may take a bit longer. Pricing is great for the services and no hidden costs or charges.

Tip: Make sure to ask what time they close as told by the employee depends what time is the last appointment coming in.

I took my dog Charlie to Poochies located in Markham…read more We usually take Charlie to a lady that does grooming out of her home in Milton. She's cheap and gets the job done but the quality of her grooming is lacking. When I picked up Charlie today from Poochies, he looked so adorable. He was evenly shaved and the detail around is face was just amazing. The owner, she obviously loves dogs and takes great care and has impeccable attention to detail, ensuring the grooming matches the breed of the dog. It cost $15-20 dollars more, but I don't care because he looks so good and I know when his fur grows out it won't be uneven. I totally recommend this place. Lovely place and equally lovely people, and Charlie looks so cute!

I was looking for a groomer in the mississauga area since we moved and had yet to get our husky…read moreprofessionally bathed and brushed. We're usually quite picky when it comes to husky grooming, only because we've read horror stories in online forums and the like! i found doggie delight from a Yelp search and used the request a quote / message the business feature and they were SO quick at responding and answered any questions i had. communication was super straightforward and they were incredibly responsive, especially considering i messaged them close to the end of their operating hours. the day of the groom was also really simple and straightforward! i was given a rough estimate on when our pup would be ready, but the person at the business also told me they'd text me when she's done. i think they did a great job with my pup and she didn't even seem to be too scared to be there either! unfortunately, i forgot to take pics when she was fresh out of the groomers, but they definitely did a great job and didn't do anything i was worried about! we'll be booking here again next year for our husky's annual professional groom! (don't worry, we brush and clean her at home too lol)

We've been going for 2 years or so, since our dog was a puppy, and have recently decided to move…read moresomewhere else. Every time we picked up our dog he seemed a bit more anxious than the time before, they suggested we give him more anxiety medication. The price of a groom is crazy, over $250 for a small 30lb dog. The turning point for us is that our dog was having an off day and was a bit more anxious than usual - never mean or aggressive, just squirmy. They called us after an hour to let us know, but told us they'd keep trying. Two hours later he was ready for pickup - I assumed that 3+ hours at the groomer meant they got through it. When I picked him up they told me they did not cut any of his hair, only a nail trim and bath. To my surprise, they proceeded to charge me the full amount of a groom - a $250 bath and nail trim. Very dissapointed given we were longstanding customers and they knew he was having an off day. We will certainly not be back. **UPDATE** We took our dog to another groomer who let us know that there are clear signs of trauma from previous grooming experience. He was clearly pushed past his comfort level at Dogfather to a point where he has developed a traumatic fear of being at the groomers. This explains why he was more and more anxious to go each time. This is deeply upsetting and I only wish we changed groomers sooner.
