Grooming

We are open for grooming Monday thru Saturday - give us a call & we will make time for your pooch. 

Our Groomers:

Crystal has been K9HQ groomer for over five years now and is a certified professional groomer.  She specializes in precission scissor cuts - Puppy cut, Bichon, Poodle, Schnauzer, breed kennel cuts and more.  People are amazed at the lovely job she does, often commenting that their dog has never looked so good.

Ashley has been with K9HQ for three years then went to Calgary for a grooming apprenticeship.  She has now returned to join the K9HQ team as both a Care giver and Groomer.  Ashley can do a variety of breeds & pet cuts but loves to do the big breeds including Bernese Mountain Dogs, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers to mention a few.  Check out the Collie in the header picture (before & after).

Holistic Grooming

Holistic grooming involves more than just the bathing, brushing and clipping. It most importantly involves your dogs emotional well being during the grooming session. We do this by creating a calm and relaxing environment for the dog by using aromatherapy in the grooming area, and with your consent, may occasionally use Bach flower essences (100% safe and natural– not a medicine or tranquilizer) to help ease your pet’s anxieties during the grooming process.
We accept one dog or one family of dogs at a time. This means no assembly line grooming! You drop your dog off at the scheduled time and pick them up in a couple of hours (depending on coat condition, temperament and size of dog). This reduces their stress levels tremendously.  Your dog gets the individual attention it deserves. 
We only use eco friendly and all natural products! For shampoos, please let us know if your dog requires a hypo-allergenic shampoo (that contains no fragrances). If your dog has fleas we will use a all natural flea shampoo and even for their ear cleaning we use a gentle all natural product to reduce the risk of allergic reactions in your pet. Regular grooming is important for all dogs to maintain a healthy lifestyle, if maintenance at home is a problem, we also offer other in-between groom options under services.

No Hurt Policy: Your dog's well being is our top priority and that is why we offer pain free grooming.  Dogs who are de-matted on a regular basis learn to associate grooming with discomfort if not pain. So if your dog is badly matted, we will have to shear it off.  If you want a longer coat they need to be brushed to the skin on a regular basis or come in for an in-between groom. We will be open and honest about the interests of your pet, their needs and comfort comes first.

 Services

We offer dog grooming for all breeds of dogs small to large by appointment only.  

For dogs with hair that require clipping we recommend a 6-8 week schedule to maintain its look, but for some breeds you may need to come more often.

The amount of brushing you do at home will affect how often your dog will need to come in, so we are happy to set up a schedule that meets you and your dog's needs. We also find that if you bring your dog in for a bath and tidy between full grooms, you will be able to grow your dog's coat longer.
