Basic Grooming & Nail Care in Barrhaven & Britannia, Ottawa


(Yes, We Do That — Calmly, Kindly, & With Zero Chaos… Okay, Some Chaos.) The blog.


Welcome to the side of pet care nobody talks about. The part where your dog pretends their nails are fine, your cat becomes a liquid shadow when the brush comes out, & your rabbit suddenly remembers they have rights.


Surprise: we offer nail trims, basic grooming, light training, & socialization sessions right here in Barrhaven & Britannia.


Yes — the rumors are true.

No — we won’t judge your pet.

(Or you. Mostly.)



**We’re Not a Full Grooming Salon —


& That’s Absolutely On Purpose**


Let’s get one thing out of the way so nobody is confused:


We are NOT a full-service grooming salon.


No fancy breed cuts.

No full coat clips.

No conveyor-belt grooming where pets go in fluffy & come out traumatized.


Here’s what we do offer:


Safe

Gentle

Fear Free

Pet-at-their-own-pace

Actually personalized care



Right in our home.

Or yours.

(Depending on whether your pet is the “stranger danger” type or the “new house? new vibes?” type.)


Because every pet has needs, quirks, preferences, trauma, boundaries, & a personality that may or may not include attempted homicide.


And our approach… adapts.



We’re Certified, Experienced, & Actually Give a Sh*t

Your pet isn’t a number.

Or an add-on service.

Or a “just hold them tighter” situation.


They’re a feeling, breathing, emotional little soul.


Credentials, because trust matters (and also because people keep asking):


Grooming Certified

Pet First Aid Certified

Fear Free Certified

Fully Insured

Professional contracts, waivers, the whole serious-adult-business package



Your pet’s emotional safety matters as much as their nails or coat.


If your pet needs breaks, cuddles, affirmations, snacks, or intermittent existential commentary — we roll with it.




A Clean, Calm, In-Home Setup (Because Many Pets Hate Salons)


We groom right here in our home in Barrhaven — on purpose.


A quieter space.

Slower pace.

Less noise.

Fewer strange smells.

More “it’s okay buddy, you’re safe.”


We follow strict sanitation protocols after every appointment.

We let pets explore first if they need to.

You’ll never find us rushing, pinning, yanking, or “muscling through it.”


If your pet needs to sit in our lap for one paw & then take a five-minute break to rethink their life choices, that’s fine.


This is pet care, not pet control.




Rates


Because transparency is sexy:


Nail Trims: starting at $35


Basic Grooming: starting at $60

(Pricing depends on coat condition, behavior, time needed, and how many dramatic monologues your pet performs.)



You’ll always be quoted before we start.



Drop-Off vs. Drop-In — Your Choice


Drop-Off Appointments (Barrhaven – our home)


You drop your pet off.

We pamper, groom, trim, spoil, reassure, bribe (ethically).

Then we call you when they’re done.


Drop-In Visits (Barrhaven & Britannia)


We come to you.

Perfect for elderly, nervous, spicy, anxious, reactive, or “I live in the vents now” pets.




Who We Work With


Dogs

Cats

Rabbits

Guinea pigs

Ferrets

Rats

Reptiles

Smol exotics with chaotic energy


Basically:

If they have claws, fur, scales, or vibes — we love them.
