Puppy Grooming
A puppy’s first visits are about trust, not a perfect haircut. We keep the first groom short and light, introduce the dryer and clippers slowly and reward calm behaviour, so your puppy grows into a dog that enjoys grooming.

We love making pets look their best — and keeping their owners happy
Choose a time and tell us your dog’s breed, age and anything we should know, such as anxiety or skin sensitivity.
We look at the coat together, agree on the cut and confirm the price before we start.
A warm bath with a shampoo suited to the coat, then a careful blow-dry and a full brush-out.
Haircut and styling, nail trimming, ear cleaning and a sanitary trim, with breaks whenever your dog needs one.
We let you know when your dog is ready and share tips to keep the coat in good shape at home.
Every coat and every temperament needs a different approach. Here is how we groom the dogs we see most often.
A puppy’s first visits are about trust, not a perfect haircut. We keep the first groom short and light, introduce the dryer and clippers slowly and reward calm behaviour, so your puppy grows into a dog that enjoys grooming.
Some dogs find grooming hard. We work slowly, use quiet tools and stop when a dog needs a break. Seniors get extra support for stiff joints. Read more about our gentle approach to anxious dogs.
Curly coats mat quickly, especially behind the ears and under the legs. We recommend a full groom every 4 to 6 weeks and can show you how to brush between visits so the coat can stay longer.
Huskies, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and Bernese Mountain Dogs need a deshedding treatment rather than a shave. We remove the loose undercoat so the coat can still protect your dog from heat and cold.
Shih Tzus, Yorkies, Maltese, Chihuahuas and Papillons need careful work around the eyes, face and paws. We handle small dogs gently and keep them comfortable on the table.
Light tangles can often be brushed out. Tight mats close to the skin are painful to brush, so the kindest option may be a short clip and a fresh start. We always explain the options before we begin.
Montreal weather is hard on coats and paws. Here is how we adapt your dog’s grooming through the year.
De-icing salt dries and cracks paw pads. We trim the hair between the pads so snow does not ball up, and recommend a paw balm for daily walks.
Double-coated dogs drop their winter undercoat. A deshedding treatment now means much less hair on your floors and furniture.
A tidy trim keeps long coats cooler and cleaner, but we never shave double coats, because they protect your dog from the sun.
Leaves, burrs and mud get caught in coats after park walks. A bath and brush-out keeps the coat healthy and ready for winter.
This depends on the breed, coat type, and lifestyle of your dog. As a general rule, dogs with long or curly coats that require regular haircuts (like Poodles or Doodles) should be groomed every 4-6 weeks. Dogs with shorter coats may only need grooming every 8-12 weeks to manage shedding and keep their skin and coat healthy.
A typical grooming session lasts between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the dog's size, breed, coat condition, and temperament. We will give you a more precise estimate when you drop off your pet.
Our full grooming service includes a warm bath with high-quality shampoo, a blow-dry, a full haircut and styling based on your preference, nail trimming, ear cleaning and a sanitary trim. Full grooms start at $95 for small dogs.
Our groomers are trained to handle anxious dogs with patience and care. We use a calm and reassuring approach, take breaks when needed, and never force a dog into an uncomfortable situation. Please let us know about your dog's temperament when you book the appointment so we can be fully prepared.
At Toutou Village, a full groom starts at $95 for small dogs, $125 for medium dogs, $165 for large dogs and $190 for extra-large dogs. Bath, dry and brush starts at $90. Nail trims start at $17. Prices are exclusive of tax and can change with coat condition and behaviour. See our full price list.
Yes. We keep a puppy’s first grooms short and gentle so they learn that grooming is safe. Starting early makes grooming much easier for the rest of your dog’s life.
We avoid shaving double-coated breeds like Huskies and Golden Retrievers, because the undercoat protects them from heat and cold. A deshedding treatment removes loose hair without damaging the coat.
Yes. We offer cat grooming in Montreal too, including lion cuts and bath and tidy packages.
