Nice Diggz

I took my new Maltese puppy here for his first grooming. They have a puppy package which breaks the groom into 3 separate visits to ease them in to the new environment. Erikah did a great job explaining how it worked and what was involved.
We booked an early Saturday morning visit (so that it wouldn’t be too busy/​overwhelmng for him) for his first groom. It turns out, my puppy is really well behaved and easy to work with so we got to do the full groom in one shot! He looked adorable when he was done — they did a great job. I also like the added touch of the little bandanna he came home with.
The only thing that I don’t think my puppy liked was the cage-​free environment (just because all the other dogs were so much bigger than him) because when I went to pick him up, he was in his crate.
You get $ 5 off for your first visit and I appreciated that she gave me an even further discount from what she’d quoted considering how tiny he is (approx 2.8lbs at the time). Only downsides are that it’s cash only and that it’s busy! I called on Monday and the next available appointments were for the Tuesday of the following week!

We love the groom shoppe! The ladies are always so fantastic — friendly, open to suggestions and special requests, easy to book with and always so awesome with our French bulldog! Everything is so easy and stress free for everyone, our pup loves going and always comes out looking so good! I would highly recommend their services! Great prices too!

I have been to many groomers and compared to the rest, the folks here are incredibly friendly. My dog, Chili seemed to like it there and being a pretty big cage free space is a huge bonus. They listened to what I wanted and actually did what I asked for, a complete buzz cut, one length, all over. Seems pretty simple but you’d be surprised how many groomers think that means I want him to have a poofy tail and/​or poofy head! I even had one gromer tell me no, he would look weird with his head shaved down more. Naturally, I really appreciate a groomer who does what I request.
The price was quite reasonable for Toronto ($ 80 minus $ 5 for first time booking — he is a big boy)
Seems like they don’t use heavy perfumes which is nice because that stuff is horribly chemical laden and just plain bad for us. Not so nice because the lovely dog smell has started to return a day after being bathed. Although I would rather not have either, I prefer doggy smell to heavy perfumes anyways.
Only downsides I would point out, 1. it’s very hard to spot while driving. It is on a second floor above a salon. However, there is sufficient parking which is nice.
2. Not wheelchair accessible. You must go up a staircase to get to the grooming salon. That said, I won’t speak for them but they are friendly enough that if I was unable to get up the stairs I would feel totally comfortable asking them to take my dog up and bring him back down. In fact, even though I have no problem with the stairs (I was carrying my 8 month old) my dog was taken right to my car. Nice!
3. They don’t take credit or debit. Old school cheque or cash. Not a huge deal but I don’t really like missing out on my points.
Having said that, I feel much better about missing out on points with these folks pampering my pup!

Friendly service. I love that it’s cage free and the staff is wonderful, prices are good too!
