Gentle startA gentle, short introduction to water, clippers and dryers, built to keep first-timers calm and curious rather than scared.
Book thisPaws & Parlour started in a small Roncesvalles storefront in 2015, run by two groomers who were tired of assembly-line salons. We booked fewer dogs a day so each one got real attention, and we never rushed a nervous pup through the dryer.
Eleven years later that is still the whole idea. Quiet rooms for anxious dogs, warm water, treats on hand, and a photo sent to you mid-groom so you always know how it is going.

A few faces from the parlour this month. Every one left calmer, cleaner and a little more spoiled.






What owners say
“Our labradoodle Miso used to shake the whole car ride to any groomer. At Paws & Parlour he walks in wagging. They text a photo mid-bath every single time.”
Priya S.
Roncesvalles
“First place in the city that actually got the doodle cut right instead of shaving him down. Face was neat, legs were fluffy, exactly the reference photo I brought.”
Daniel W.
Leslieville
“My senior beagle has arthritis and they used a low ramp and a warm towel so she never had to jump. That kind of care is why I drive across town.”
Amara O.
The Beaches
“Booked a nail trim online at 11pm, got a slot the next morning. In and out in twenty minutes and the desk gave my pup a peanut butter treat on the way out.”
Kevin L.
Liberty Village
“They handled my rescue's matted coat with so much patience. No shaming, no upsell, just a clear plan over three visits to grow it back healthy.”
Sofia R.
Parkdale
“The de-shed package on my husky is worth every dollar. My condo went from tumbleweeds of fur to basically none for about six weeks.”
Marcus T.
CityPlace
“Groomer noticed a small lump near my terrier's ear and told me gently to get it checked. Vet caught it early. I genuinely trust these people.”
Hannah B.
Junction
“Cutest little bandana on my schnauzer after every visit and he smells like a real spa, not that fake perfume smell some places use.”

“They do cats too, which is rare. My Persian actually tolerates the sanitary trim here when he screams everywhere else.”

“Puppy's first groom was broken into short happy visits so he would not be scared. Now he loves the place. Smart, kind approach.”

“The blueberry facial is not a gimmick, my white bichon's face stopped getting those tear stains after a few sessions. Staff explained the routine to keep it up at home.”

“My anxious sheltie gets a quiet room away from the dryers. They actually asked about her triggers on the intake form. Nobody does that.”
Isabelle C.

“Fair pricing, clear before you book, no surprise fees for a big dog. The Bernese came out looking show-ready for half what the west end charges.”
Ravi P.

“The team remembers Biscuit by name and knows he likes the teal bandana. Small thing but it makes the whole place feel like ours.”
Nina K.

“Booked a full spa day before our wedding photos. They coordinated the timing so the pup was fresh and fluffy right before the shoot. Faultless.”

It depends on the coat. Doodles and other curly coats do best every four to six weeks, double coats like huskies every six to eight, and short-haired dogs every couple of months. We will suggest a rhythm at your first visit and never push you toward more than your dog needs.
Yes, and it is a big part of what we do. Nervous pups get a quieter room away from the dryers, extra breaks, and a groomer who moves at their pace. Tell us the triggers on the intake form and we will build the visit around them.
A warm bath with gentle Toronto-made shampoo, a hand-fluff dry, a breed-specific cut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a light finishing scent. You leave with a clean, tidy dog and, if you like, a photo we sent partway through.
We can. Safe de-matting comes first, and if the matting is close to the skin we will talk you through a humane plan rather than tug at a sore coat. Sometimes that means a shorter cut this time and a slow grow-out over the next few visits.
We do, on select days with a groomer who specialises in cats. Baths, sanitary trims and de-shedding are all available. Cats are booked into calm, dog-free slots so the whole visit stays low stress.
Book online any time or call the front desk. Pricing is set by size and coat and we quote it clearly before you confirm, with no surprise fees for a big dog. No deposit is needed and we text you to confirm every appointment first.

Three quick taps and we will confirm a time by text, usually within the hour. New clients welcome across the west end and beyond.
