Grooming | The Dog Patch
A freshly groomed dog at The Dog Patch

Grooming done differently.

A calm, low-stress grooming spa where your dog gets one-on-one attention from start to finish — no overlap, no waiting in a crate. Book your appointment right in the Gingr client portal.

One-on-one grooming, start to finish.

Unlike many grooming salons, we book every appointment start to finish — so your dog gets our groomer's full attention the entire time, with no overlap and no waiting around. They come straight in, get pampered by their groomer, and head straight home — or back to the pack if they're here for daycare or boarding. It's a favourite for boarding guests, who can go home freshly groomed at the end of their stay.

It's a calm, low-stress experience we're proud to offer — and it's one of the reasons our clients trust us with their dogs.

🛁

Booked start to finish

One dog, one groomer, the whole appointment. No overlap and no crating before or after — your dog is in and out with full attention.

🌿

A separate, quiet space

Our spa is self-contained and fully separate from daycare and boarding, so even nervous dogs can relax away from the pack.

🐩

Groom & Play option

Pair a groom with a daycare day so your dog comes home clean and tired — and save $15 on daycare while you're at it.

Groom & Play

$15 off Daycare

Grooming prices by size & coat.

Booking a groom in Gingr.

Grooming appointments are booked right in the Gingr Pet Parent Portal. New clients will need a Gingr profile first — set one up with invite code 790862 in the "Gingr for Pet Parents" app or the web portal. Once that's done, here's how booking works.

Grooming is for grooming only. If your dog also needs daycare or boarding, book that reservation first and add grooming onto it as a service — including for Groom & Play, which is a daycare day with grooming added on. You'll see this reminder in the portal when you click into Grooming, too.
1

Open Grooming in Gingr

Log in to the Gingr portal and choose Grooming Appointment to see all grooming service types.

2

Pick your service

Choose Bath & Brush, Bath & Trim, Bath & Full Body Haircut, or a Stand-Alone Service. Each service page explains what's included and shows full pricing — and there's a guide at the bottom to help you choose the right one for your dog.

3

Choose a groomer & time

Select a Specialist to see that groomer's openings, or hit Expand All to compare every groomer at once. "Next Available" (bottom right) jumps you to the soonest opening.

4

Add more dates (optional)

After picking a time you can add Recurring or Specific dates. Heads up: this locks in the same time across every date and it can't be changed, so it works best when the timing lines up.

5

Add-ons & notes

Choose any add-ons, then leave notes for your groomer and answer a few quick questions — permission to reassign groomers if needed, shampoo and bandana preferences, and pickup contact plus whether you'd like a call or text.

6

Review & submit

On the Review screen you'll see a cost estimate. If you've booked that service before, it auto-fills from your last visit; first-timers will see $0.00. Tap Submit Request and you'll get a summary of everything you booked.

What happens after you submit

Your booking comes through to us as a request for our team to accept. The moment you request a time, that slot is held just for you — no one else can grab it. Once we accept your reservation, you'll receive a confirmation email. Your estimate isn't a final charge; final pricing can vary with your dog's size, coat, and condition.

A few things to know before you book.

Bookings & Cancellations

Grooming is booked through the Gingr portal — see How to Book above. For help finding a time or any questions, email, text, or call us anytime.

If you need to cancel, please give us 24 hours' notice. A no-show or short-notice cancellation may be charged a cancellation fee.

Running late? Please call to reschedule — we can't accept arrivals more than 15 minutes past the scheduled start time.

Policies

For the health and safety of every dog in our care, we cannot groom dogs that have fleas, lice, or have been recently skunked (we will groom dogs that have had a few at-home baths following the initial skunking).

We're happy to groom unaltered females — but not while in heat, pregnant, or nursing.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up · Appointment Dogs

Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment so we can go over your dog's grooming needs. We'll call or text 15–30 minutes before your dog is ready.

Please arrive within 1 hour of that call, otherwise a half-day daycare rate may be added on top of your grooming cost.

Drop-Off & Pick-Up · Groom & Play Dogs

Drop off any time from open until 10:00 AM.

Pick up any time before closing.

Grooming questions, answered.

Grooming appointments are booked in the Gingr Pet Parent Portal. Log in, choose Grooming Appointment, pick your service, then choose a groomer and time and submit your request — the full walkthrough is in the How to Book section above. New here? You'll create a Gingr profile first. Prefer a hand? Email or text us at 604-942-1166 and we'll help you find a time.
Pricing is based on your dog's size (by weight) and coat type and length. The prices listed are a guide — final cost can vary with coat condition, the style you'd like, and your dog's temperament. Matted, thick, or difficult coats may carry a coat density / extra work charge of $10–$25 or more. Prices do not include GST.
A Bath & Brush is a clean-up with no trimming — great for shedding breeds or for low-shedding dogs between full grooms. A Bath & Trim adds light trimming and shaping. A Full Body Haircut is a complete clip and scissor to your preferred length, for hair-coated breeds whose coat grows long. Not sure which fits your dog? Just ask and we'll point you in the right direction.
Groom & Play pairs a grooming appointment with a daycare day, so your dog comes home clean and tired — and daycare is $15 off when booked with a groom. Because the Grooming section in Gingr is for grooming only, you book Groom & Play by booking a daycare reservation and adding grooming onto it as a service (not through the Grooming section). Drop-off is any time from open until 10:00 AM, and pick-up is any time before closing.
We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel. A no-show or short-notice cancellation may be charged a cancellation fee. If you're running late, please call to reschedule — we can't accept arrivals more than 15 minutes past the scheduled start time.
