Charlie's Not All that Happy about Going to the Groomer! haha!

But every dog has to get a bath or have their hair cut - and I've got two dogs who need to get their hair cut and 2 dogs who seem to get stinky and need baths - so I have intimate knowledge about local groomers - I am like most people and only go to a couple - and groomers are like GOLD in this city - but there are more popping up all the time.

Kathleen Duffy - the maker of the famous "mutt muffins" and "liver birthday cakes" -is the owner of Tailwagrrrs - and her facility offers grooming, a doggy cafe, a doggy day care, and a doggy boutique - I think that's everything, but I may have missed a thing or two!  Oh yes, and she also has a self serve tub that's open some days!  It's on the Bedford highway directly across from Clearwater Lobster - and it's a busy little spot - but it's worth the drive!

House of Dogs on Quinpool Road - has recently taken on new ownership!  The owners of Doggy Styles in Enfield have bought the House of Dogs - so the one of the oldest grooming shops in the HRM is going to be having big changes I'd imagine. They don't have a website but they're at 6448 Quinpool Road and their phone number is 492-3647

On that note - I've sussed it out - and the former owners of House of Dogs Ann and Bobbi-Ann have moved out to Tantallon and opened a new shop - it's bigger and roomier and they have more space to sell dog stuff - it's called the "Healthy Hound" and I'm told it's on the main drag by the mini mall that has the 2 vet hospitals and the gas station and Superstore - I've got to go out there so I can get the proper location - so if you've been out there and you know where it is - email me so I can share the love!!

Metro Dog Wash - has recently taken over new ownership - by the owner of Tailwaggrrss - so the focus has moved over to grooming - I think they still have the nsame phone number, so you can reach them by calling 422-9364

Now HERE'S something!!  Bark & Fitz now has a groomer!!!   She is more than excited - you can email halifax@barkandfitz.com or call 406-3489

Christine Graham of Wyndenfog Kennels offers grooming and boarding out in West Chezzetcook for the dog owners in that area of the HRM - you can check out her website at http://www.wyndenfog.com/index.html

If you're out in Porter's Lake - you'll have to go to "Dog Luv" - it's a self serve dog wash, grooming, and pet supply store - I've never been there, but their website looks great - and I've talked to people who've been there, and they say it's a wonderful place to go to and the owner is a very nice lady - their website is at http://www.dog-luv.com/index.htm which has great instructions as to where they are and lots of great stuff on what their store is like.
