Choosing a groomer in Lethbridge

Lethbridge's groomers range from neighbourhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that park outside your home. A full groom usually covers a bath, haircut, nail trim and ear cleaning; most groomers also offer bath-only visits, de-shedding and quick tidy-ups between full grooms.

Choosing with care

Before you book, ask a groomer how long they have worked, whether they groom your breed often, and how they keep tools and tables clean between dogs.

Your dog's licence

Under the City of Lethbridge's Dog Control Bylaw, all dogs six months of age or older must be registered by the owner, with the licence renewed yearly. Licences expire each year on December 31 and must be renewed before January 1, and owners who do not license their dogs can be fined. Groomers will usually ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Winter cold and summer heat

Calgary Animal Services advises limiting outdoor time in extremely cold weather and wiping your dog's paws with a damp cloth after walks, because the salt and chemicals used to melt snow and ice can harm paws. The City of Edmonton notes that leaving an animal in a hot car and causing it distress may result in fines or charges, and that it is not recommended to shave your dog, since a coat of fur helps protect against UV damage and keeps some of the sun's heat out. Ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed so ice does not build up, and for double-coated breeds such as huskies and shepherds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave.

Before the first appointment

  • Tell the groomer about your dog's health, age and temperament.
  • Ask how dogs are dried; if a cage dryer is used, someone should check the dog often.
  • Ask which vaccines they require, and reschedule if your dog is coughing.
  • If the coat is badly matted, ask about a short clip rather than hours of brushing out.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does dog grooming cost in Lethbridge?

It depends on your dog's size, coat and condition, so ask each groomer for a quote. Large dogs, thick or curly coats and matted fur cost more, and a bath-only visit costs less than a full groom.

Does my dog need a licence in Lethbridge?

Yes. Under the City's Dog Control Bylaw, all dogs six months of age or older must be registered by the owner and the licence renewed yearly. Licences expire each December 31.

How do I choose a good groomer in Lethbridge?

Ask how long they have worked, whether they groom your breed often, how dogs are dried and who watches them, and read recent reviews. Visit the salon first if you can.

How do I keep my dog safe in Alberta's cold and heat?

In extreme cold, keep walks short and wipe your dog's paws after walks, because ice-melt salt can irritate them. Never leave a dog in a hot car, and ask for a de-shed rather than a shave for double-coated breeds.

Is mobile grooming a good option?

A mobile groomer works from a van outside your home, usually with one dog at a time. That suits anxious or older dogs and saves a trip across town, though it usually costs more than a salon.

What vaccinations does my dog need for grooming?

Groomers will usually ask for proof of rabies vaccination. Many also ask for DHPP and Bordetella (kennel cough), so check with the groomer when you book.
