Downtown Hamilton has a new spot for pups to get spoiled. The Dapper Dog Den is now open at The Royal Connaught at 120 King St E, offering grooming services for dogs of all sizes with a focus on comfort, care, and happy tails.
The team is warm and welcoming, and you might even be greeted by Bonnie, their resident pup. Each groom starts with a chat about your dog’s needs so they leave looking polished and feeling good.
Services cover everything from quick clean-ups to full styling sessions. The Bath Only package is perfect for keeping your dog fresh between appointments and includes a bath, blow dry, brush-out, ear cleaning, nail care, and a light face and paw wipe. The Bath & Tidy adds a sanitary trim and light trimming on the face, feet, and tail for a well-kept look. For a full makeover, the Full Groom includes a haircut and styling to your preference or breed standard, plus all the essentials to keep your dog comfortable and looking their best.
Specialty add-ons are also available, including teeth brushing, nail grinding, de-shedding, de-matting, ear cleaning, and even face trims between full appointments. All services are tailored for every size, from the tiniest pups to extra-large breeds.
Friendly dogs can enjoy a cage-free environment before and after their appointment, with crates available for those who prefer a bit more personal space. There are thoughtful touches like Thursday evening appointments, courtesy parking right out front, and a selfie mirror for pups to check out their new look.
New clients save 10% on their first visit, and booking is simple through their website. The Dapper Dog Den is open seven days a week and ready to welcome downtown dogs in style.
