What is Japanese dog grooming?

Asian Fusion grooming is a style that blends traditional Asian scissor techniques with contemporary, breed-specific shaping.

Is cage drying safe for dogs?

Cage drying involves placing a dog in an enclosed space with a warm-air dryer running — a practice that carries genuine risk of overheating, respiratory stress, and anxiety. Premium Vancouver grooming salons, including Fetching Forever, use hand-held dryers with direct one-on-one supervision throughout the entire grooming process.

How often should a dog be professionally groomed?

Most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 6–10 weeks. Breeds with continuously growing coats — including poodles, doodles, Shih Tzus, Maltese, and Bichon Frisés — typically need appointments every 4–8 weeks to prevent matting and maintain coat health.

Does Fetching Forever take new grooming clients?

Yes — Fetching Forever currently accepts new grooming clients for the West Coast Groom and Asian Fusion Groom. The Japanese Master Groom with Kaori has a waitlist due to demand. Call or text (604) 977-3647 or visit fetchingforever.com to book.

What is a sniff walk for dogs?

A sniff walk is an unhurried, dog-led walk where the dog is encouraged to stop, explore, and smell at their own pace rather than being kept moving. Sniffing is a primary way dogs process their environment and decompress mentally — 20 minutes of purposeful sniffing can be as tiring as a much longer physical walk. Fetching Forever incorporates sniff walks as part of its daycare programme.

How much does dog daycare cost in Vancouver?

At Fetching Forever, full day daycare (8+ hours, three walks) is $46 and half day (up to 5 hours, one walk) is $34. Multi-visit packs are available at a discount. Dog daycare in Vancouver generally ranges from $35–$65 per day depending on the facility and services included.

Does Fetching Forever offer a free trial for daycare?

Yes — Fetching Forever offers a complimentary two-hour assessment day for new daycare clients. This trial ensures your dog is comfortable in a group setting before joining the regular programme. Book online at fetchingforever.com or call (604) 977-3647.

What should I look for in a Vancouver dog daycare?

The most important factors are: whether dogs are actually walked (not just supervised in a pen), the staff-to-dog ratio, how group sizes are managed, whether there is a temperament assessment before joining, and whether the facility is transparent about its daily structure. Daycares that include structured sniff walks or neighbourhood walks provide meaningfully more mental stimulation than indoor-only supervision.

Can I get my dog groomed and do daycare at the same place in Vancouver?

Yes — Fetching Forever is one of the few places in Vancouver that combines both services under one roof. Dogs can attend daycare and receive a full groom on the same day, with the same trusted team. This eliminates the stress of transporting your dog to separate facilities.

“Love this place! We have been taking our dog Chito to Fetching Forever. They have a great space with lots of different dogs and great friendly staff. The care my dog gets for the price is very good compared to hiring a dog walker. The social media posts are great for seeing our dog who is always enjoying himself.”

What makes Fetching Forever different?

Sniff Walks, not just supervision

Most Vancouver dog daycares keep dogs indoors or in a yard. At Fetching Forever, dogs go out on group sniff walks through the Cambie Village neighbourhood multiple times a day. A sniff walk is an unhurried, dog-led walk where your dog sets the pace and stops to explore freely. Sniffing is one of the most mentally stimulating things a dog can do — 20 minutes of purposeful sniffing is as tiring as a much longer physical walk. Dogs that sniff walk come home genuinely settled, not just physically tired. Full day dogs (8+ hours) receive three walks. Half day dogs (up to 5 hours) receive at least one walk.

Supervised group play

Dogs socialise in supervised group play with access to interactive toys, enrichment activities, and comfy rest areas with beds. Group sizes are kept small so every dog gets individual attention from our staff.

Temperament assessment for every new dog

Every dog joining the Fetching Forever daycare programme completes a temperament assessment before their first full day. This ensures the group dynamic stays positive and your dog is genuinely comfortable — not just tolerated — in a group setting.
The complimentary two-hour trial is where this assessment happens.
