I was 15 mins late for an appointment due to an accident on the 416. I got a phone text just…read morebefore I walked in that my appointment was cancelled due to being a no-show. I told the person at the cash that I was there and she said sorry the appt is cancelled... I said but I am only 15 mins late and my appt is for 3 hours. She asked the groomer and she declined. Said she didnt have the time now. I asked if they could simply bath the dog and clip the nails without cutting the hair. They said no but If I would have to pay for the appt anyway because I did not show up on time. I paid almost 100.00 for nothing. I can see losing the apt. but why would I have to pay for the spot when it was obviously filled by a walk in? Crazy. Never going there. Would never recommend them.

I looked at several school for Bodhi's puppy education and decided to go with the Ottawa Canine…read moreSchool located on St-Laurent Blvd. The Ottawa Canine School has several classes to choose from such as puppy kindergarten, obedience, agility and Canine Good Citizen preparation. I wanted to enroll in puppy kindergarten and was glad to learn that the registration is on going. You can start at any date and will get 5 lessons of 1 hour. On his first day, Bodhi got to meet with Alana & Roxanne, the trainers, and was right at home. We were shown the proper way to have dogs greet and moved to the hall where the training happens. The training hall is large and clean. The classes have a nice flow and are very interactive. You also get to interact with other dogs. There is a small break halfway through the class. Alana is very knowledgable and Roxanne gives your dog the extra attention that they sometime need. The Ottawa Canine School also has a day care including a one just for small dogs on Thursdays. Bodhi loved his experience and since he was already familiar with the settings because of puppy kindergarten, he was immediately comfortable. The only downside that I would like to point out is that you have to reserve/cancel in advance as there is no walk-ins. I would recommend both the classes and the day care and not to hesitate to contact them if you have any questions.

Visited the Ottawa Canine School for their Fun Friday small dog play date. BEYOND disappointed at…read morethe woman who ran the playdate. Extremely uninterested and unfriendly throughout. Not to mention that when my dog tried to PLAY (GASP!) at the PLAY DATE, she wouldn't cease following him around everywhere he went and giving the whole family looks, instead of approaching us with any concerns/letting us explain my dogs noisy and energetic ways. From the moment we walked in we all felt judged and considered leaving early after being told that we couldn't use some agility equipment because we were making my dog jump "too high" (maybe 3/4 of a foot?) while we were just testing out what he would be like. I was highly considering taking Timber there for some agility classes because the facility really is gorgeous, welcoming and well-kept but FAT CHANCE now. I have no doubt that their TRAINING would be fine, but this experience absolutely ruined it for me. Such a terrible waste of my $20.

I am a huge fan of Global Pet Foods. I went in out of curiosity after a friend recommended it to me…read moreand was surprised by how friendly and knowledgeable the staff was. I dealt with Amanda on my first trip there and she was so helpful, she helped me choose a more adequate pet food for my puppy, as he was having issues with his pet food - Iams - and was just not feeling it (and he loved it !). They have a Free Food Program, with purchase of a certain amount of bags of food you get a free bag (varies according to brand purchased). As well as option of delivery ! I've purchased dog treats, a new leash (Flexi - Canadian brand and incredibly sturdy!), and pet food from Global Pet Foods and have nothing but good things to say about them. I'm new to the Tunney's Pasture/Westboro area and was so excited to find out this weekend that they also do some pet grooming. I got to clip my dog's nails, and the location is so convenient and close to home. I just love these guys !!

The staff at Global Pet Food is great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell these people…read morereally love animals. They bring their pets into the store, and encourage you to do so as well. They're usually great with processing returns, though they will take your receipt and not provide a copy, so make sure you've brought in everything you needed to return. Only one bad experience. We had to return a leash and later a faulty collar, but we'd returned the leash first and got burned on the $10 collar, even though it was 100% guaranteed by the manufacturer, and it wasn't our first choice (we were going to go with leather, but let the salesperson convince us to buy the synthetic collar because of the guarantee), because they'd already taken our receipt. At least they donated the collar to a shelter, though not sure how much good it will do, since the tightener slips. Occasionally, you'll get a miss with their advice (as above), so remember that you know your pet and they don't if you're not-so-sure about their recommendation, and go with your gut. That small annoyance aside, the people who own and work at this store are wonderful. They truly care about your pet's well-being. They were incredibly helpful and supportive when my childhood cat was in her last days, offering very good advice to help me make her as comfortable as possible. When my partner and I adopted our adult husky mix, they offered great advice that was truly appreciated, and they continue to do so. A great business, and I will continue to shop with them first for anything our dog or our newly adopted cat needs, from food to nail trimmers, to toys.

She even offered to set aside food samples for my dog to try. - When I got there, same friendly & knowledgeable staff already had paper bag ready for me to take, and I picked up some more items and was provided with more samples. - I was also told of their food guarantee - if my dog did not like it, I can take it back. - This 1st visit was so easy & fast for pick up! - My dog has tried one of the samples for dinner - and so far it's a hit. - It looks like we will be back. - Note: This place carries a load of Canada made food - frozen raw food and freeze dried, and dry and wet food. They also deliver for a certain amount of merchandise & for a small fee.

Our cat was in need of urgent care (Jan 2021) and our own vet wasn't open (Sunday) so we called…read morearound a few places, none of which were willing to give us a specific time or even see us at all, until we called Eagleson. They were able to slot us in for 5pm on a Sunday! I mean... really?! That was just amazing all by itself. But it only got better from there. They were able to screen us 15min early when we arrived, and then we only waited 20min after our appointment time to actually be taken in. Usually at these places there's a much longer wait. The reception staff were wonderfully courteous, professional, responsive and caring. They were busy, and with extenuating pandemic measures in place -- creating its own challenges, yet they all still found the time to not only see us but to wear a smile. A truly exceptional team. The vet, Dr Amand, was also a real pleasure to speak with. He explained everything thoroughly and knowledgeably. He was receptive to our desire to have multiple tests performed so as to narrow down any potential diagnosis, but never 'pushed' for it. You could easily tell he was empathetic to the notion that maybe some clients just wouldn't be able to afford the fees and as a result might feel emotionally pressured to try and find such precious funds from somewhere. We have pet ins so we wanted all the tests done, and while he agreed that the more tests there are, the better it is, he still did not insist upon it. There was one small minor issue we had regarding a product purchase with which Jocelyn was able to offer total resolution to our 100% satisfaction. We didn't end up following through with her offer, as we decided to donate the product instead, however just knowing it was feasible was something we appreciated. All in all it was a remarkably comfortable experience. We do, indeed, recommend this practice to anyone seeking their services. From arrival to departure, it was a total of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Well done! And may I just say, once again to their team, thank you so much. We really do appreciate your help that evening.

Our Rotti clicked instantly with the staff and was very happy. Staff is great. We love getting the email post cards while we are away showing our dogs having fun. This is the best place in the Ottawa area for large breed dogs. A lot of room on the grounds for the larger dogs to move around and get exercise. Large, clean rooms for the dogs.
