Pet Grooming in Saskatoon

Saskatoon'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

Saskatoon asks owners to keep a current City of Saskatoon pet licence for every dog and cat. The Saskatoon Animal Control Agency, which enforces the city's Animal Control Bylaw under contract, tells owners to make sure their dog or cat has a valid licence, and its FAQ notes that licensed dogs may be off leash in designated off-leash areas. Groomers will often ask for proof of vaccinations, so keep your dog's records handy.

Parvovirus and distemper

In April 2023 the Saskatoon SPCA warned dog owners that it was seeing more parvovirus and that there was distemper in the community, and reminded owners to vaccinate. Ask your vet whether your dog's vaccines are up to date, and check what your groomer requires.

Prairie winters and summers

Saskatoon winters are long and cold, and sidewalks are salted and sanded. 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.
