Dog Grooming Packages
Choose the right grooming package based on your dog’s size, coat condition, and grooming needs. All packages are designed to ensure comfort, hygiene, and a stress-free experience from start to finish.
Bath & Brush Package
A thorough dog bath, blow-dry, and full brush-out. Ideal for dogs that are between haircuts or simply need a clean, fresh coat without a trim. Great for maintaining coat health and managing shedding regularly.
Full Grooming – Bath, Brush & Haircut
Our most complete package. Includes a full dog bath, brush-out, breed-specific or custom haircut, nail clipping, ear cleaning and anal gland maintenance upon request. Everything your dog needs in a single session.
Quick Touch-Up Grooming
A lighter session for dogs that are well-maintained and just need a tidy-up between full grooms. Includes a spot clean, light trim, nail clip, and brush-through very efficiently and straightforward.
Add-On Grooming Services
Enhance any package with additional services such as de-shedding, teeth cleaning, skin and coat treatments, deep conditioning, and paw pad care, along with spa and pampering options.
We also offer special cut styles including Teddy, Lion, Asian, and other sculpted looks for dogs whose owners want a more distinctive finish. Special cuts are available as an add-on to any full grooming package.

Why Choose Pawz for Dog Grooming in Kitchener
Same-Day Appointments
We keep same-day availability open so you’re never waiting weeks to get your dog in. When your dog needs a groom, we’re ready.
Crate-Free, Stress-Free Experience
Our salon is entirely crate-free. Dogs are never kennelled between stages of their groom, which makes the whole experience significantly calmer — particularly for anxious or reactive dogs.
Experienced Dog Groomers
Every groomer on our team has hands-on experience working with a wide range of breeds, coat types, and temperaments. Your dog is in skilled, caring hands from start to finish.
Clean & Safe Environment
We maintain high hygiene standards throughout the day. Every tool, table, and station is cleaned between appointments — so your dog enters a fresh, safe environment every time.
Personalised Grooming for Every Dog
No two dogs are the same. We take the time to understand your dog’s specific breed requirements, coat condition, and comfort level before we begin – because the best grooming is always tailored grooming.
Dog Grooming for All Breeds & Sizes
We provide grooming services for dogs of all breeds and sizes at our Kitchener salon. Whether your dog is a compact lap breed or a large working dog, our groomers have the experience and tools to handle them properly.
Small Breeds
Shih Tzu, Pomeranian, Maltese, Chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Bichon Frise, and similar small breeds receive precise, careful grooming suited to their fine coats and gentle build.
Medium Breeds
Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, Border Collie, Bulldog, Whippet, and similar medium breeds are groomed with attention to coat-specific needs – whether that’s managing a dense double coat or keeping a silky coat tangle-free.
Large Breeds
Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Husky, Bernese Mountain Dog, Pitbull, Rottweiler, and other large or heavy-coated breeds receive thorough, breed-appropriate grooming that accounts for their size, coat volume, and energy level.
Whether your dog needs a simple cleanup or a full grooming session, our team ensures proper care based on coat type, breed standard, and individual temperament. No breed is too big, too small, or too complex for us to handle.

Before & After Dog Grooming Results
What Dog Owners in Kitchener Say
ADD: We have been here 2x now and both times we are really happy with the result! The techs are friendly and did exactly what we asked. Zelda had a good time and looks, feels, and smells amazing! We tried to cut her nails at home and groom her wily face hairs (half labradoodle) without much luck - she came home clipped clean and soft. Highly recommend this service.
Pranay always does a phenomenal job and from the moment you walk in you realise that they really love dogs.
Cant recommend this place enough. Pranay and team, keep it up! You guys are awesome!
Another job well done with wash, clean up and scissor cut only. Bailey looks fantastic…..and we were able to get a 9am Sunday appointment as a bonus. Well done!
Most delightful thing was how comfortable they made Shiro during the whole process (he is usually quite an excited pup)
I will definitely bring him back to the same store for his next appointment
Kudos to the whole team!!!
My biggest concern about finding a grooming salon for my pup was no crates. I have heard horror stories about dogs being put in a crate with a dryer on them. This salon didn’t have a single crate in sight. I will be bringing him back 100%.
Highly recommended.

First time going to Paws. Good grooming experience. The place is clean, and grooming is done right in the front area, so customers can see the environment. There are no kennels, which was appreciated, and the dog looks great. He also smelled great, which is another part I liked.
The place doesn’t have that strong odour that some other grooming places do; on the contrary.
The cut is very smooth and consistent.
The price was slightly lower than at other places. For us, that was because they consider medium dogs up to 50lbs, while at other places this threshold is lower. This was ultimately what made me pick this business this time. Will return for sure.
FAQs – Dog Grooming in Kitchener
-
Most dogs benefit from a professional grooming session every 4 to 8 weeks, though the right frequency depends on breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Long-haired and double-coated breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Huskies, and Bernese Mountain Dogs typically need more frequent grooming to prevent matting and manage shedding. Short-haired breeds may require less frequent visits. Our groomers can recommend a schedule tailored to your specific dog.
