I've been taking my pup Bentley to Paula at By The Pond Pet Spa for about 5 years. He looks so good, shiny, smells amazing when he leaves there, not to mention his new bandana with every visit. He loves seeing Paula and loves the attention from her husband Shaun even more. Definitely recommend taking your fur baby to her. Support small local businesses!!! More...

Cannot recommend this place enough!! Paula and By The Pond are phenomenal. Caring, attentive, excellent at what they do. They listen to your instructions, they offer creative and fun suggestions and they made the entire experience a fantastic one . First time dog owner with a puppy having his first cut - could not have asked for better people to guide us through this experience. Archie LOVED his time there and didn't even want to leave! An energetic Bernedoodle with a long thick coat could not have been easy to groom but they said he was calm and co-operative throughout it - which speaks to their work. They've made customers for life in us! More...

By The Pond was a little slice of heaven for my guy. He was pampered with a hot oil treatment and lots of love. Paula and her team did an amazing job grooming him! Paula and her team are so friendly. She took her time with me when I arrived to drop off and when I picked up. I didn’t feel rushed and she fully explained what grooming was done. Highly recommend. More...

Paula is the most amazing groomer! She could tell I was pretty nervous about leaving my Goldendoodle. We had pretty bad luck with some other groomers in the past and we are so happy we found Paula. Paula and her team listen, they're caring and focus on comforting both the dogs and owners. They specialize in dogs with anxiety and do an amazing job! She sent me updates on how he was doing, and actually gave him the beautiful hair cut he requires. Outstanding service! Highly recommend! More...

Fergus had his first experience with The Pond Pet Spa today. He looked so handsome and was happy and well cared for. Paula was awesome with him and we couldn’t be happier with Ferg’s cut. It is obvious that Paula loves what she does and every dog is special to her. Great experience all around! More...

Paula is amazing! We have been bring our little Grandpup "Moz" to her for over a year. Her set up at By The Pond Pet Spa" is incredible. Paula's love of animals, her patiences, and her knowledge is superior. We bring our Moz from Downtown Toronto to get groomed .. our son is not allowed to bring him anywhere else. Moz loves Paula and the stress free environment she offers. Thanks Paula More...

A friend of mine recommended Paula and I’m so glad they did. She really cares about her customers. She was diligent in explaining her business and purpose and provides a very pleasant experience! She even sent pictures during my dog’s grooming. He came home happy and smelling great and so incredibly soft. I couldn’t pick him up afterwards so she texted me in the evening to check with me on my satisfaction. Talk about service. We will definitely be returning! More...

We took our Golden Retriever here and Paula did an outstanding job getting all of the matting out of his fur. It was way beyond what we were able to do on our own. We went back and picked up a completely new dog from what we brought in. He seems much happier now than he did before. Outstanding job Paula. Thank you. More...

We're new to Cambridge and just discovered Paula and By the Pond Pet Spa. Our Golden Retriever cross, Zoey, was groomed yesterday and she looks gorgeous! The space is very welcoming and Paula was fantastic with working around Zoey's issues with other dogs and made sure she felt safe and secure. Grooming has always taken 3+ hours, which means more stress for Zoey, and Paula was done in just over an hour and a half. Communication is simple (by text) and prices are reasonable and well worth it. Our search for a new local groomer has ended, no need to go elsewhere! Thanks Paula! More...

Just picked up my pups after their first visit to By The Pond Pet Spa. One of them is epileptic so “stressful” situations are generally avoided. But no issues today! Paula gave honest feedback about their behaviours and recommendations going forward! Thanks so much Paula. We will be back & looking forward to starting our bandana collection More...

We tried By the Pond Pet Spa for the first time yesterday. I have a more on the shy side, Havanese in full coat. Anyone with a dog in full coat knows that going to the groomer is super scary. Many groomers don't take the time and will just shave them down despite what you ask. I'm happy to say that Paula was great and definitely took her time to get Lulu comfortable and asked specifically what I was looking for. I could tell that she had a good time which was night and day compared to her previous experience. We'll definitely be back! More...

We have found the “dream team” at By The Pond Pet Spa. Our family can’t get over the GREAT experience our dog had today. Normally our Toller whines and foams from anxiety and we didn’t see any of that when we picked her up. Paula understood about the 3 layers of hair and gave her a wonderful cut. Our dog looks wonderful and we are thrilled to have found Paula and appreciated her kindness with making sure Lexi’s visit was a positive experience. This team cares about the dog and it really shows. More...

Today I took my 5 year old tri colour Aussie to Paula’s spa. Almost one year ago we had him groomed in Guelph and the groomer who said they were familiar with this breed shaved him down. Needless to say his coat is very dry, patchy and hasn’t really grown. Paula and her assistant Judy worked their magic on rocky applying two different treatments on his coat. Rocky looks and smells amazing and I hope to work with Paula to restore his former beautiful coat The pet spa is an amazing place. I am truly impressed with the service we received today. Very well laid out and all the comforts you deserve for your dog. I highly recommend their amazing services. Very professional and reasonably priced Rocky is in good hands! And I am excited to see the results ! Pic of Rocky hanging out to get his nails done ! Lol. More...

YOU HAVE TO GO HERE!!! We were looking for a groomer for our new fur baby. I looked into some groomers that were recommended in the area and just didn’t feel any were a good fit. We have a golden doodle and I found almost all of the recommendations trimmed this breed almost bald. I turned to a google search and found By the Pond Pet Spa, and I’m sooooo glad I did! Paula had great reviews...and after looking through photos and reading her “about us” section, I knew she was the right fit. When we arrived, Paula was incredibly sweet and welcoming. We were going to leave but our daughter wanted to stay to watch. Paula never made us feel out of place by staying. Instead, she walked us newbies through the grooming process and made us feel right at home. The spa is clean and beautiful and she is more than a groomer, she’s an artist! She’s gentle and patient and I will definitely be recommending her to all of our friends. Trust me when I say this is the perfect place to bring a dog, young or old, you’re in great hands!!! And you’ll love Paula More...

I've taken my Rough Collie to Paula several times now. He's always a challenge for me to groom at home as he has so much fur. Paula is able to take him for a spa day and make him look and smell wonderful. She gets at his undercoat which is always hard for me and makes him look and feel silky. She does an amazing job and I'll never take him anywhere else! I wholeheartedly recommend by the pond pet spa. More...

I have been looking for a place like this for my Luna in a very long time. A few years ago I gave up on taking my dogs to groomers, because they’d always come back with either nicks or cuts which scared me terribly, or they’d have horribly shaved hair where they themselves would be embarrassed to leave the house. Paula has the perfect skill and personality to make any dog feel special. Luna has never looked so good and healthy. She also used a treatment called Nagayu that makes her hair look so shiny and helps with skin issues. I highly recommend By The Pond Pet Spa and our next appointment is already booked! We are so glad we found you! More...
