Our new dog groomer of choice, newly opened next to Hof Kelsten on Saint-Laurent near Mont-Royal. The proprietor is talkative and friendly; she has a very cute Shiba Inu (like Doge for all you meme-lovers) who gets free rein in the store. She chatted us up when we popped in off the sidewalk for a look at this very clean, modern new space, and told us about their grooming services. The price was lower than our usual groomer, and after a series of serviceable but only so-so cuts back there, we jumped at the opportunity to try something new when our dog was due for her next visit.
The proprietor did the grooming herself, and she did an excellent job. Hair as well as a nail trim are included. It took about two hours as promised until our dog was ready for pick-up. Unlike our previous groomer, Pitou Minou is close to several great cafés to pass the time (notably Café Melbourne). Our dog was always a bit manic when we came to fetch her from the other groomer, but here, she was more herself. Take that for what you will. I wouldn't like it if someone tried to trim my nails, either. We will become regulars here.
