Dog grooming in North York, Toronto, is provided by Hello Pets Inc., a professional grooming salon at 172 Sheppard Ave W, serving dogs of all breeds with gentle, certified care. Our three experienced groomers specialize in full-service sessions — including bath, breed-specific haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and anal gland expression — using hypoallergenic, skin-sensitive Chris Christensen products on every dog we groom.
Each session begins with a phone consultation where our groomer discusses your dog’s coat condition, preferred style, and any health considerations before your appointment. We welcome puppies experiencing their first dog grooming session, senior dogs who need gentle handling, and dogs with sensitive skin or coat conditions. Book your appointment today — call 866-533-3970 or book online.
Dog grooming packages at Hello Pets Inc. range from full-service sessions to maintenance baths, with bath-and-brush visits starting at $65, puppy first grooms at $80, and full grooms starting at $90, depending on breed, size, and coat condition.
Our full dog groom includes a bath with hypoallergenic Chris Christensen shampoo and conditioner, a thorough blow dry, a breed-specific haircut with scissoring and clipping, nail trim, ear cleaning and plucking, teeth brushing, anal gland expression, and a finishing bandana. This is our most comprehensive package, covering every aspect of your dog’s hygiene and appearance.
Sessions typically run 2–3 hours, depending on breed, coat condition, and size. You’ll receive your dog back clean, comfortable, and groomed to breed standard or your preferred style.
Bath with premium Chris Christensen shampoo and conditioner, thorough blow dry, full brush-out and de-shedding, nail trim, and ear cleaning. This package is ideal for short-haired breeds that don’t need haircuts or as a maintenance visit between full grooms. Most sessions take 60–90 minutes.
A gentle introduction to professional grooming for puppies. Includes a warm bath, light trim of the face, feet, and sanitary areas, nail trim, and ear cleaning. We use positive reinforcement and take extra time to build your puppy’s comfort and confidence — this first experience shapes how they respond to grooming for life.
Breeds with long, fine, or curly coats — Poodles, Shih Tzus, Doodles, Yorkies — develop mats quickly without professional maintenance. Mats pull on skin, trap moisture, and hide skin infections. We recommend full grooms every 4–6 weeks for mat-prone dogs.
Golden Retrievers, Huskies, German Shepherds, and Labrador Retrievers shed heavily, especially during seasonal coat blows in spring and fall. Our de-shedding treatment removes loose undercoat without damaging the topcoat, reducing household shedding by up to 80%.
Older dogs often develop sensitive skin, joint stiffness, and anxiety during grooming. Our groomers adjust water temperature, provide padded surfaces, allow frequent breaks, and use gentle handling techniques. Many senior dogs visit Hello Pets every 4–8 weeks for comfort-focused sessions.
Dogs with allergies, hot spots, dry skin, or post-surgical areas need hypoallergenic products and careful attention. We use Chris Christensen medicated and sensitive-skin product lines and adjust our process to avoid irritation. Unlike mobile grooming services that carry limited products, Hello Pets stocks a full range of specialized formulations at our North York facility.
Puppies who have a positive first grooming experience at 12–16 weeks are significantly easier to groom throughout their lives. Our Puppy’s First Groom package uses patience, treats, and positive reinforcement to make that first visit stress-free.
Every session at Hello Pets follows a structured, eight-step process designed for safety, comfort, and consistent results. Most appointments take 2–3 hours from drop-off to pickup.
Before your appointment, one of our three certified groomers speaks with you by phone to discuss your dog’s breed, coat type, preferred style, any skin conditions, and your expectations for the session.
When you arrive at 172 Sheppard Ave W, our groomer examines your dog’s coat, skin, nails, ears, and overall condition. We note any matting, irritation, lumps, or areas that need special attention.
We brush out tangles and loose undercoat, then bathe your dog using Chris Christensen hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner selected for their coat type. Water pressure is calibrated to prevent stress.
The groomer performs a full review — checking the cut from every angle, confirming nails are smooth, ears are clean, and the overall result matches what you requested during consultation.
We photograph your freshly groomed dog, add a bandana, and walk you through everything we did during the session. If we notice anything unusual — a skin issue, an ear concern, a dental observation — we'll let you know so you can follow up with your vet. You leave with peace of mind that your dog is clean, healthy, and professionally cared for.
Our certified groomers have hands-on experience with every major coat type. Here’s how we approach dog grooming by breed group:
Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, and Lhasa Apsos. These breeds need professional grooming every 4–6 weeks to prevent matting. We use thinning shears and layered cuts to maintain coat health without excessive bulk.
Beagles, Boxers, Pugs, and French Bulldogs. Short-haired dogs benefit from our Bath, Brush & Blow Out package. Regular bathing and de-shedding keep their coat clean and skin healthy between visits.
Golden Retrievers, Huskies, German Shepherds, and Labrador Retrievers. We never shave double-coated breeds — instead, our groomers use professional de-shedding tools and undercoat rakes to remove loose fur while preserving the coat’s natural temperature regulation.
Schnauzers, Wire Fox Terriers, Airedale Terriers, and Border Terriers. Wire coats require hand-stripping or clipper techniques to maintain texture. Our groomers are trained in both methods.
Poodles, Bichon Frises, Labradoodles, and Goldendoodles. These breeds need professional dog grooming every 4–6 weeks without exception. We offer breed-standard cuts, teddy bear cuts, and puppy cuts.
Dog grooming at Hello Pets Inc. in North York starts at $90 for a full groom, which includes bath, breed-specific haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and anal gland expression. A bath and brush-out starts at $65. Puppy first grooms start at $80. Final pricing depends on your dog’s breed, size, and coat condition.
A full dog groom at Hello Pets Inc. in North York includes a bath with hypoallergenic Chris Christensen shampoo and conditioner, thorough blow dry, breed-specific haircut, nail trimming, ear cleaning and plucking, teeth brushing, anal gland expression, and a finishing bandana. Sessions typically take 2–3 hours.
Tipping your dog groomer is appreciated but not required. A standard tip for dog grooming in North York is 15–20% of the grooming cost. If your groomer at Hello Pets provided exceptional care — especially for a difficult coat or an anxious dog — a tip is a generous way to show appreciation.
Most dogs benefit from professional dog grooming every 4 to 8 weeks. Breeds with continuously growing coats like Poodles, Shih Tzus, and Bichon Frises need grooming every 4–6 weeks. Short-haired breeds can go 6–8 weeks between sessions. Regular dog grooming at Hello Pets in North York keeps your dog’s coat, skin, nails, and ears healthy.
Professional dog grooming typically involves an initial rough cut on a dry coat for accuracy, followed by a bath and blow dry, then a precision finish cut. At Hello Pets in North York, our certified groomers use this multi-stage approach because it produces the cleanest results across all coat types.
Breeds requiring the most frequent professional dog grooming include Poodles, Bichon Frises, Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, and any dog with a continuously growing coat. Double-coated breeds like Huskies and Golden Retrievers benefit from regular de-shedding treatments at Hello Pets in North York.
