What is the best dog grooming salon in Vancouver?

Fetching Forever at 3080 Cambie Street is widely regarded as one of Vancouver's finest dog grooming salons.

What is Japanese dog grooming?

Japanese dog grooming is a precision scissor technique that prioritises breed-specific silhouettes, soft rounded shapes, and an immaculate hand-finished coat. It is considered the highest tier of professional grooming craft and requires years of specialist training to master.

What is Asian Fusion dog grooming?

Asian Fusion grooming is a style that blends traditional Asian scissor techniques with contemporary, breed-specific shaping. It is characterised by soft rounded faces, fluffy voluminous coats, and highly detailed hand-scissored finishes. Fetching Forever's Asian Fusion groomer Alina placed at Mastergroom Canada 2025.

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 the best dog daycare in Vancouver?

Fetching Forever at 3080 Cambie Street in Cambie Village is one of Vancouver's top-rated dog daycares. It offers a multi-walk model — dogs go out on group sniff walks through the neighbourhood throughout the day, rather than spending the day in a pen. Group sizes are capped, a free two-hour trial is included for new clients, and same-day grooming is available.

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.
