Dog Grooming in Brantford
We'll have your dog looking sharp and feeling fresh with a full groom tailored to their coat and personality.
What's Included in a Dog Groom
Every dog groom at Mr Paws starts with a warm bath using coat-specific shampoo. We scrub, rinse, and towel dry before moving to the grooming table. You're not just getting a quick rinse. We clean ears, clip nails, and express glands if needed.
Haircuts depend on breed and what you want. Some dogs get a full scissor cut. Others just need a tidy-up around the paws and face. We'll ask what length you like and whether you want any special styling. If you've got a doodle or a poodle, we know the drill.
After the cut, we finish with a brush-out and a spritz of deodorizing spray. Your dog leaves smelling great and looking like they just stepped out of a magazine. If you've got a on your hands, we take extra time to make it a calm first experience.
Why Regular Grooming Matters
Dogs don't just need grooming to look cute. Mats pull on skin and trap moisture, which leads to hot spots and infections. Long nails change how your dog walks and can cause joint pain over time. Dirty ears are a breeding ground for yeast and bacteria.
We see it all the time. A dog comes in with a coat so matted we can't save it, and the owner had no idea it was that bad. Regular visits keep things manageable. Most dogs do well with a groom every 6 to 8 weeks, though some breeds need it more often.
If your dog sheds like crazy, ask about our . It pulls out the undercoat before it ends up all over your couch. We also work with clients in and St. George who drive in because they trust us with their dogs.
What to Expect When You Book
Drop-off is usually in the morning. We'll confirm a pickup window when you book. Most grooms take 2 to 3 hours depending on size and coat condition. If your dog's severely matted or anxious, it might take longer. We don't rush.
First-time clients fill out a quick form so we know about any health issues, behaviour quirks, or style preferences. If your dog's never been groomed before, let us know. We'll go slow and use lots of treats. Some dogs are total pros. Others need a little extra patience.
We handle all breeds and sizes. Got a tiny Yorkie? A giant Newfoundland? We've groomed them. If you need for a show cut or a specific standard, just say so when you call. We've done everything from poodle pompoms to schnauzer eyebrows.

Basic grooms start around $40 for small dogs with short coats. Standard grooms for medium dogs run $70 to $110. Large breeds or dogs with thick coats are $110 to $160. If your dog's matted or needs a lot of extra work, we'll quote you honestly before we start.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a dog grooming appointment take?
Most grooms take 2 to 3 hours from drop-off to pickup. Small dogs with simple cuts might be done faster. Large breeds or dogs with matted coats can take longer. We'll give you a pickup window when you book so you're not guessing.
Do I need to stay during the grooming?
Nope. Drop your dog off and we'll text you when they're ready. Most dogs actually do better when their owner isn't hovering. We keep things calm and low-stress. You can run errands or grab a coffee and come back when we're done.
What if my dog is nervous or doesn't like being groomed?
We work with anxious dogs all the time. We go slow, use treats, and take breaks if needed. If your dog's never been groomed or had a bad experience somewhere else, let us know up front. We'll make it as easy as possible. Some dogs just need a little extra patience.
