Pet Grooming in Moncton

Moncton'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.

Your dog's licence

The City of Moncton says all dogs must have a dog licence unless they are microchipped; microchipped dogs are exempt from licensing but must still follow the rest of the by-law. Licences are good for one year, your dog must wear its licence tag on a collar at all times, and your dog's rabies vaccination must be up to date to get a licence. Groomers will often ask for proof of rabies vaccination too.

Checking a groomer

In January 2021, Moncton and other New Brunswick groomers called for industry regulation and the New Brunswick SPCA said it hoped grooming salons would be included in future changes to the province's Pet Establishment Regulation. Rules can change, so do not assume a groomer has been inspected. Ask how long they have worked, whether they have had formal training, and whether they groom your breed often.

Maritime winters

Moncton winters bring snow, ice and salted sidewalks. Wipe your dog's paws after walks, and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed so ice and salt do not build up. In summer, book early-morning grooms, 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.
