We pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to achieve the look that they want for their dogs. Our clients and their dogs are a part of our family.

Grooming

Our experienced groomers can tackle any coat, any breed, and any style. We don't believe in keeping your dog cooped up before, during or after their groom. Our spa is a place for socialization and comfort! We'll make sure your pup feels at home.

All Breeds & Behaviours

No dog is too big or too small for us to handle; we're equipped to groom them all. Let us know if your pup needs some special care, and we'll work closely with you to ensure they get the treatment they deserve.

Nail Trimming

Does your pet need a quick nail trim, but you don't want to book a full groom? No worries. We offer quick and easy nail trims that'll have you in and out in minutes. 

Puppy & Palliative

Looking to get your newest addition a fresh groom? We can get an appointment set up as early as 3 months old.

We also specialize in palliative grooms to ensure your dog is comforted and stress-free for their final grooms.

Plenty to purchase!

We offer a wide variety of products to purchase and bring home with you; handmade collars, shampoos and conditioners to bathe your pet at home, and more.

Katie Fernandes & Luna & Maddox

Taylor is absolutely amazing with my two dogs, Maddox and Luna! Maddox has curly, light-colored fur, and Luna has sleek, black, straight hair—both of which can be tricky to manage—but Taylor always does a fantastic job. She’s kind, patient, truly cares about their comfort and happiness, and treats them like her own. I appreciate her professionalism and the love she clearly has for animals. Every time they visit, they come home looking their best and feeling great. If you’re looking for a groomer who takes exceptional care of your pets, Taylor is the one to trust!

I am so glad that I heard about By the Pond Pet Spa. I had my dog in there today and he came out looking fabulous. He’s had some rough grooming experiences, so we were both feeling nervous, but the whole experience was perfect. A big thank you to Taylor for her wonderful work. After his grooming, he enjoyed checking out the other animals!

I am so, so grateful to have been introduced to By the Pond.

My dog looks and smells great, they did a skin treatment for his dry skin (which I didn't mention, they just noticed because they CARE) and the facility is beautiful and thoughtfully designed.

My dog is pretty anxious in new situations and they went out of their way to make both him and I comfortable. I was so impressed with their knowledge and kindness. I have never had such a personalized experience with dog grooming.

I was also very happy with the price for the quality of service.

Paula and her team are the BEST groomers! We have a pretty anxious Australian Shepherd who has had some horrible grooming experiences. We were sent to Paula by a family member and now we will never go anywhere else!
I take comfort in knowing our pup not only comes home looking and smelling great, but that he is also very well loved and taken care of while in their hands. 
I highly recommend By The Pond Pet Spa to anyone and everyone with a dog. I send all my friends and family here now.
