Having taken my 2 oldest (large breed) dogs to professional groomers their entire lives (8,12), I…read morethought I would start my *rescue* puppy (clarified to the groomer) getting groomed as well. I have been to multiple different locations in the collingwood/wasaga beach area as well as in Hanover, but this was by far the worst. My 50 lb husky cross came back still wet and smelling like wet dog (considering how much I paid this was extremely disappointing). Being a puppy and it being her first time it did not come to a surprise to myself that she was nervous during the process - with that being said, I have seen more experienced groomers (who charge less and do a far better job I.e they actually brush the dog) handle nervousness in first timers much more smoothly than my experience here. Charging based off of breed is also the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of, considering she is 50% malamute and the exact same percentage of golden retriever and she is husky. Not to mention she is quite small considering the breeds she is.

Being new to the area of Priceville, ON our cockapoo was in need of a full groom. Upon asking at…read morethe local vet for a recommendation, this business was mentioned as the only one in the town of Durham, ON. We booked an appointment, and were impressed with Kate Cobourn, the owner. Clemson, our dog, went in at 11 and was done at 12:30. Such a short time and our fussy little pooch, who does not let US touch his face or his paws, came out clean, nails trimmed, smelling wonderful and neatly clipped. We are so impressed with Kate's services and the price was awesome! We've gone to Big box business (Pet Smart) and it has been $10 more and 3 hours. Thank you Kate and congratulations on opening your business in January 2016!

I'm a little surprised by the comments and the ratings as we had such a lovely first experience…read morewhen we realized that we needed to get our puppies ears checked, and she was coming up due for her second shots. We hadn't really looked around much but knew there probably wasn't going to be a whole lot of providers to choose from, and they were quick and efficient with emailing us back and getting us in the same day so that our pup would be safe, and not have her health go down the tubes. They were gentle, and loving with her, and over all she had a great first vet experience with us. We are going to continue to use them and hope for the best! Too bad that so many had poor experiences, or maybe just too high of expectations. Looking forward to seeing the team next week!

We have lived in Hanover for over 5 years and always brought our cat for his checkups. We always…read morefelt so comfortable there ... we came from Kitchener where we had an outstanding vet from the Cat Hospital ... Dr. Bonnie Worthern is an angel ... we were so happy to find so many angels at the Hanover Vet Hospital ... sadly, we had to say goodbye to our cat on New Years Eve 2025 ... it was a shock and devastating ... the staff who work there are so compassionate and we are so grateful we had them by our side ... Groot is home now in his little urn and again the compassion that was shown to us is so amazing. Thank you to the Hanover team ... it is hard on them as well. Thank you.

As any average person might be on a Thursday afternoon, I was in need of some Vet Wrap (for those…read moreof you not in the animal world know how... this is a neat bandage that sticks to itself, and not to anything else - great for wrapping injuries on horses, or in my case, strapping pedometers onto goats - but I digress... ;) So.... I headed into Hanover, as Google maps assured me I would find a tack shop there. Google was mistaken. But a nice lady at Mark's Work Warehouse suggested I head into Chelsey... "just one right and a left out of Hanover and you're there", she said. And off I went. It did take me a trip into and out of the actual town of Chelsey, and a stop at an automotive place, but I eventually found Ionson's Saddlery. Admittedly, there is a big sign, but not near the road itself... so unless you turn your head and stare for a while (because who really needs to look at the road right?) you might miss it. Anyway... the two guys working there were great. Very eagerly showed me to where I'd find the Vet Wrap, and then happily chatted with me about the area, my work with goats, and even showed me pictures of the locals. Then they called after me "see you soon!". It was a very pleasant experience. So if you happen to be in this area (for the few of you that might) and are looking for a horse-related store... definitely try these guys.
