Guelph Readers Choice
Recognized for years. Trusted for generations.
Voted one of Guelph's top 3 pet groomers in the Guelph Mercury Tribune Readers Choice Awards, 15 consecutive years and counting. Some Guelph families are now on their third generation of Brushcuts regulars: grandparents, parents, and their grown kids all bringing their dogs in.
For the whole family
We groom more than just dogs.
Cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs are part of the family too. Each one gets the same calm hands and careful pace, and goes home looking (and feeling) like themselves again.
Dogs
Full grooms, bath & tidy, puppy first visits, and clean finish haircuts.
Cats
Gentle grooming for cats: nails, sanitary trim, de-shedding, and the popular lion cut.
Rabbits
Nail trims, brush-outs, and sanitary checks. Calm hands and a quiet space. Rabbits stress easy.
Guinea Pigs
Nail trims, gentle brush, and a quick once-over. Short visits, low stress, lots of patience.
Every Pet Welcome
Every pet is welcome. Big or small. Senior, disabled, or service dogs. We meet them where they are.
Specialty care for the pets who need a little extra: senior pace, supportive handling, de-skunking, odor recovery, and patient work with anxious or reactive dogs.

From Our Clients
Trusted by Guelph pet owners.
"Me and my girl Echo love this place. She will not let anyone else touch her nails, but she's in and out of Brushcuts in under 10 minutes with great results and a very fair price. She's a bit of a reactive pup and is scared coming in, but they calm her right down and by the end she doesn't want to leave. Definitely 5 stars 🌟"

"The team here is amazing! My Gracie is a drama queen and I don't know how they do it, but she comes home every time looking the Queen she is!!! They've also been able to trim both my pups' nails without issue, and that's worth a trophy as they're not easy clients!!!"

"I just wanted to say that I'm more than happy having new groomers for my doggos. I've been looking for a place like this forever. My dogs have always been traumatized after, but not here as shown on pictures. Thank you so much guys and see you again! 😉😊"

Common Questions
The short answers.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. Typically 1-2 weeks out. Book further ahead during shedding season and around the holidays.
How long does grooming take?
Plan on 4-5 hours for most full grooms. Intakes are all in the morning, with releases staggered through the day. First in is first out, so an earlier drop-off means an earlier pickup.
Can I get my dog back sooner?
Yes. If you need your dog out at a specific time, let us know when you book. A small fee applies for rush pickups.
My dog is anxious. Can you still help?
Absolutely. We work at your dog's pace and stop for breaks when needed. Tell us when you book.
Do you groom cats and small pets too?
Yes. We groom cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs alongside dogs. Each pet works with a groomer who knows their species and keeps the pace calm.
Vaccinations required?
Yes. Bring up-to-date vaccination records on your first visit. We'll let you know what we need for your pet's species when you book.
