Our pooch got the royal treatment at Calgary’s best groomers, and we’re jealous!
Our dog, Max, used to look like he’d just rolled out of a windstorm—every day. But after a trip to one of Calgary’s best dog grooming spots, he came back looking like the star of a shampoo commercial.
Watching him strut around with his freshly brushed coat and trimmed nails, I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been secretly judging my own grooming habits.
We’ve rounded up the best places in Calgary where dogs go from scruffy to stunning. Read on to find your furry friend’s next favorite salon!

Since 2004, Tanya, the passionate owner of Puppy in my Pocket, has been perfecting her craft as a groomer, working at various salons across the city before opening her own.
Today, she leads a talented team of six groomers, each with unique specialties and techniques – and yes, they’re all pet owners too!
What sets them apart is that aside from the usual cuts, they offer two signature styles: the kennel cut (shorter and practical) and the teddy bear cut (longer, fluffier, and irresistibly cute).
Both include a bath, blow-dry, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, giving your pup the full spa treatment.
If you’re looking to spoil your dog a little more, there’s a fabulous package that includes conditioner, teeth brushing, nail grinding, and a charming bow or bandana. Note that this is an add-on to a full-service groom.
For those wanting a little extra pampering, add-ons like nail grinding, DE skunking, teeth brushing, and of course, a bandana or bow, are available.
Just a heads up – there is a cancellation fee if you miss your appointment, so they kindly ask all clients to arrive 5-10 minutes early.
This allows time to discuss any grooming requests before the session begins. For those with time constraints, Puppy in my Pocket also offers “quick services,” such as nail trims and ear cleaning, which are available by appointment only.
A satisfied client shared that the groomers at Puppy in my Pocket are not just skilled, but incredibly attentive, making the entire process stress-free for both dog and owner.
Fast and efficient process
“Always have taken care of my doggies and really fast and efficient process. It took at awhile to get my one dog in to be accepted. But worth the wait.”

They welcome all dogs, including seniors, anxious pups, and even pit bulls, showing a true commitment to every furry friend.
Their 2023 Gold Medal win at the Community Votes awards speaks volumes, with this service award recognizing businesses for outstanding customer satisfaction and service.
They’ve also been nominated as one of the top pet grooming services in Calgary, cementing their reputation in the community.
In addition to traditional grooming, Canine Cuts offers specialty services like teeth brushing and anal gland care to keep your pet in tip-top shape.
A heads-up: they do charge a $10 late fee for dogs arriving more than 15 minutes late. Despite that, we still consider Canine Cuts one of the top choices for dog grooming in Calgary!

Since 1996, A Royal Touch Pooch Parlour has been pampering Calgary pets with style and care. Home to an award-winning certified master groomer and a team of certified pet stylists, this salon brings top-notch expertise to every grooming session.
We like that their online lookbook doubles as both style inspiration and a glowing testament to their grooming quality.
Beyond the basics like bathing, brushing, and fur trimming, they also offer nail trimming—with convenient weekday walk-ins for this service.
That said, we’re a bit bummed that they’re closed on Sundays and Mondays, and new clients booking services over $200 need to pay an extra $50 credit upfront.
Nevertheless, one client shared their gratitude for the helpful tips on getting their dog comfortable with paw touching—an extra touch of care that sets A Royal Touch apart.
