The Best Pet Grooming and Daycare in Toronto
The best pet grooming and daycare in Toronto knows your fur babies are not mere "pets." Pft. No, your dog is more than just the sum of his paws parts, and rightfully deserves access to all of life's luxuries when you're away (cold water, things that squeak, and plentiful naps, to name a few). Many of the daycares on this list come equipped with live webcam feeds, too, alongside groomers that take pet-primping to spa-milk-bath-levels (and pawdicures, of course). Head to any of these spots, and your dog will have the cleanest ears and derpiest slobbery grin around. Here is the list of the best pet grooming and daycare in Toronto.

Urban Dog
A bona fide doggie heaven, or should that be, “bone-afide?” Urban Dog has a total of 5000 square feet of play space for your pooch, complete with filtered water, splash pools, and helpful non-slip flooring, plus a live webcam feed for those pet parents who can’t resist checking in on their best friends.

Timmie’s “wellness spa” is the ultimate way to pamper your pet. Eat your heart out, Vidal Sassoon.

Pawfect Spa
A pawfect name, no? Pawfect Spa promises grooming and pampering at both its downtown and uptown locations, with a variety of grooming and spa packages from which to choose. You can indulge your dog in a Dead Sea mud scrub, a milk bath, of massaging de-shedding treatment, or else go with the standard cut and ear clean. Either way, your pup will leave sporting a brand new bow or bandana. Pricing depends on breed and size. More »
The Wagging Tail
The Wagging Tail has a great newly renovated outdoor playground that is sure to get a few, well, “wagging” tails. The doggie daycare on Kingston road offers both daytime playtime and overnight stays, with the option to arrange both pick-up and drop-off for your pet too.

It’s a Dog’s Life also operates a special puppy daycare for dogs eight to 16 weeks, where young pups can play away without fear of snarl from a grumpy old dog. More »
Groomery Spa and Bistro
While the shop itself might be a relative newbie on the Toronto pet spa scene, owner and top (dog) stylist Lawrence Le Voir certainly is not. With his trusty pal and superstar model, Joker, by his side, Lawrence will prim and prep your pet while he or she enjoys a good look out over the Queen and Sherbourne action. Isn’t staring out the window just the tops? Best to call the Groomery to inquire about pricing. More »
Petopia
Hurray for running room! Petopia up by Eglinton and O’Connor has lots of space for daycare babies to trot and chase, with playgroups broken down into sections so that 10-week Bichon pup doesn’t mess with the fully-grown Great Dane. The facility also has space for (cage-free) overnight stays, as well as agility training, special puppy playgroups, and new duds to pick up on your way out. Regular rates for doggie daycare start at $37 per day. More »
The Hydrant
The Hydrant is a place for playing! Not… that other thing. The Hydrant is perfectly situated for canine urbanites at King and Spadina, with human friend Lindsay ready to play with your pup for the day.

My Dog’s Daycare
The main haunt for Roncy pooches, My Dog’s Daycare is actually much more than a daycare, with grooming available on-site plus boutique shopping for this season’s latest in soft harnesses and things that squeak. My Dog’s Daycare tries to keep pack numbers small to ensure that each pup gets adequate scratch-behind-the-ears time. Daycare for a full day is about $35. More »

At half the price of a regular groom, this quick wash comes with ear cleaning, plucking, and nail trimming, too. The spa, like most, has a good selection of toys and treats by its door, and customers can also arrange for one-on-one grooming lessons to primp their dogs at home. More »
Unleashed in the City
This is “playcare,” not daycare. Unleashed in the City is all about active, healthy pups, and promises lots of ball-chasing and pack running (along with the occasional couch snooze) during a day at its Ossington facility.
