I cannot begin to tell you how great this place is. The know their stuff. And basically I do…read morebelieve they are kind people. My dog is a special needs dog as she was hit by a car in 2013. She has "issues". But she has no "issues" coming here. She trots right in and gets snuggles and cuddles and forgets we even exist. Lol Their work is amazing. Marley is a Silky/Yorkie Terrier, so thats already a labour intensive job. And we don't like her Yorkie'd up, more just a hair cut. So I know they can do Yorkie; they can also just do a cut without any deviation from what we want. So comfortable dog, great do, local to me, friendly people and a reasonable price. I couldn't really ask for anything more!

My pet needed a major because of all the matting and the groomer explained to me exactly what look I can expect after the session. So no surprises, which I'm all for when it comes to grooming.

Kay is absolutely incredible. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable and informative. She is…read morevery down to earth and has such great energy that draws all dogs to her. She takes the time to learn about your unique dog and their needs as she accepts all behaviors, even reactive or nervous dogs. Kay discusses with the owners how they can best support their dog while getting groomed and encourages both the dog and owners throughout the experience. Not only is her process effective, but it is also fast, priced well and leaves everyone with a smile.

My boy was such a happy camper that I knew it didn't have to be a burden anymore, and I knew what to look for to prevent any mishaps. I highly recommend Kay. 100%! Thank you Kay!

I had an amazing experience at Christine's!…read more Our lovely little fluffy kitty was terribly matted and we couldn't brush a lot of them out, let alone cut them out. His claws made that a tad difficult (like Samantha's kitty mentioned below!). We had about a 5 minute wait when we got to Christine's, and there was Christine, another lady and a young girl (about 12 who was off on vacation!) who all were super pleasant and just adored our cat. There were several other cats and dogs there who were all lovingly attended to. It only took about twenty minutes to clean up our little guy (shaved, trimmed and brushed) and only cost us about $20, which I thought was very fair. My only issue was that I couldn't find the correct address online! The address listed was apparently out of date, so we had to walk down Bank St. with a howling kitty until we found the "new" location. Don't worry Yelpers - we made sure we've got the right address posted on here! :)

I used to bring my pooch here - it is true the waiting times are not long…read more But that might tell you something. They do an acceptable job, although they don't pay attention to detail the way my former groomer did (see Dogfather review - boy do we miss her!), but pooch looked cute enough. They don't clean ears unless you ask, and my dog will probably never look as wonderful as shown in pic above (taken in Toronto), but Christine's is in my neighbourhood, so it was convenient. At some point, they decided they would raise their prices, and not tell me- in fact, they DOUBLED their prices. My dog weighs 15 lbs, is well-behaved for groomers, and her hair is never very long as she is groomed regularly. They decided to charge almost $80 for a wash and brush (not a full groom folks!). When I suggested this was exorbitant, not too mention almost double the $45 they were charging before, the not-so-charming man at the counter shrugged his shoulders and said prices had gone up! When I said I wouldn't be coming back, as that is a ridiculous sum, he merely shrugged his shoulders again. Christine herself witnessed this conversation, and didnt say a word. Needless to say, I wont be going back, and having lived intermittently in this neighbourhood for over 30 years, I am telling everyone I know... PS my amazing former groomer - in Rosedale no less- charged less then these folks did BEFORE they raised their prices. Gee, who knew OOS was so posh? Next thing you know, I'll be spotting Jeanne Beker on our streets!
