* let's talk matting!

Matting can happen when your'e unable to brush/comb your dog. It can also happen from:

- shedding or blowing coat
- allergies, moving, travel, or illness

Don’t worry, we’ll always check your pup’s coat during the consultation and let you know if we spot any mats.

If matting is minor (less than 25% of the body) and your dog is comfortable, we’ll gently work them out using safe techniques like splitting, thinning, and brushing.

💡 Pro tip: Prevention is the best (and kindest!) way to deal with mats. We have some great tools in-store, and we’d be happy to show you how to use them to keep your pup’s coat soft, smooth, and tangle-free between grooms.

Healthy coat = happy pup = easier grooming days!

dematting & deshedding fees:

Dematting – $1/minute
If your pup has mild mats (less than 25% of the body), we’ll carefully work them out not more than 30 minutes, so you’ll see an added fee of $10–$30 on your grooming bill.

Deshedding (Double Coats) – $1/minute
For those fluffballs who shed like crazy, we offer deshedding for up to 60 minutes max usually $15–$60, depending on how much undercoat we’re tackling.

These services are always discussed ahead of time and added to your grooming bill if needed.

Humanity Before Vanity
If matting covers more than 25% of your dog’s body, the kindest and safest option is usually a short shave-down.

shave-offs & matted coats:

When mats take over, the most compassionate choice is a shave-down. Here’s what to expect:

$25 Shave-Off Fee
This additional charge covers the time, care, and wear on our tools. In extreme cases, we’ll provide a waiver and an aftercare sheet so you know exactly how to help your pup recover and feel their best.

Removing a severely matted coat is slow, delicate, and requires experience. Mats often form in areas where your dog’s skin is thin, sensitive, or already irritated, which means extra caution is a must. In many cases, we’ll need to do two separate grooms:

1) first to carefully remove the mats before bathing
2) second to tidy and even out your pup’s coat afterward

Even with the gentlest touch, mat removal can cause temporary itchiness, redness, skin abrasions, or patchy regrowth. Some pets may also seem a little “off” behaviourally afterward. We’re here to support both of you through the process.

Cancellations & Late Arrivals
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice. Missed appointments or same-day cancellations will incur a $45 no-show fee, added to your next grooming bill.

If you're more than 15 minutes behind, we may need to reschedule so we can stay on time for all our furry clients.

Pick-Up Policy
Please plan to pick up your pup within 15 minutes of receiving our call or text that grooming is complete. This helps keep our salon calm and comfortable for all dogs.

Health & Vaccinations
All dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and in good health. If your dog is coughing, showing signs of illness, or has a fever, please keep them home & we’ll happily reschedule. If we notice any concerning symptoms during the visit, we’ll contact you for immediate pick-up.

Behaviour & Safety
We do our best to make every grooming experience a positive one! If your dog shows signs of aggression, we’ll try to complete the appointment safely. A $25 handling fee may apply for extra time and care.

If grooming can't be completed due to continued aggression, a partial fee may be charged based on time spent. The safety of your dog and our team is always our top priority.

Jennifer April 2025

I wish I would have found Barking Babies for grooming and teeth cleaning sooner. They knew I loved the store but when I was looking for a new groomer and realized they also did this I was excited. Veronica is literally the sweetest, most caring dog groomer I have ever met. She knows dogs, she loves them and cares deeply about their health. Now that we are leaving and moving out of province I am so sad to leave Veronica. She is an angel. And David is truly the tooth fairy. Edie’s teeth are perfect and he has the best demeanor with little dogs. Thank you to everyone at Barking Babies. We will miss the shop and all the wonderful services. But one day we will be back!

Fantastic dog groomers! Veronica is so kind and patient with my dog, who tends to get anxious when going to the groomers and likes to scream like he is being tortured every time (he isn't, he is just a dramatic boy haha). She lets him settle down and tries to make the experience as calm as possible for him, and I really appreciate that! Everyone who works at Barking Babies are wonderful and very polite, even though my dog can be reactive and anxious, they still try and make the experience as positive as possible. They even suggested for me to book my dog for early morning sessions and offered to open their store earlier to accommodate him since he is anxious. Fantastic customer service, I couldn't recommend them enough. They also sell incredibly cute dog accessories and treats as well!

Whilst visiting from the UK we took our two small dogs (Fraggle and Pikelet) here to be groomed, and were extremely satisfied with the results. Veronica did a superlative job, and even spotted a small issue with Fraggle's ear that we hadn't noticed. She also was able to trim both dogs down without having to shave them, which they both appreciated. She obviously put in a lot of work, and was always friendly and professional. Wonderful staff, excellent service. Our dogs are our family, and we wouldn't hesitate for a moment to trust Barking Babies with their grooming in the future.
