Elaine's Poodle Parlour is a friendly, full-service grooming salon in Dartmouth where every pup leaves fluffy, fresh, and feeling like a million bones. Poodles, doodles, and every good dog in between are welcome.
From a full breed haircut to a quick freshen-up, here is how we keep your best friend looking and feeling their best. Want to do it yourself? Our self-serve dog wash has you covered.
A complete bath, blow-dry, breed-specific haircut, nail trim, and ear cleaning so your dog leaves looking and feeling their very best.
Our specialty. Clean, breed-true poodle trims and fluffy doodle styles from a groomer who knows these coats inside and out.
A warm bath, conditioning, and blow-out with a light tidy-up. Perfect for a quick freshen-up between full grooms.
Bathe your own pup with our raised tubs, warm water, shampoo, and dryers. We supply the mess-free setup, you bring the dog.
Nail trim and file, ear cleaning and plucking, paw shave, and sanitary trim to keep your dog comfortable and tidy.
Deep conditioning treatments, a soothing facial, and teeth brushing to give your best friend a little extra pampering.
No surprises, no stress. Here is how your dog's day with us goes.
We meet your dog, talk through the cut you want, and note anything special about their coat or temperament.
A gentle, warm bath with the right shampoo for their coat, then a careful fluff dry until they are soft and clean.
A breed-appropriate cut or tidy, nails trimmed, ears checked, and a final once-over so everything looks just right.
We let you know when your pup is ready for pickup, looking sharp, smelling great, and proud of their new look.
Grooming should never be stressful. We take our time, work at your dog's pace, and handle seniors, nervous pups, and bundles of energy with the same patience and care. Years of regulars keep coming back because their dogs are treated like family here, and it shows in our 4.9-star reputation.
Elaine has spent years perfecting the art of the perfect poodle trim, and she pours that same love into every dog who hops up on her table. The Parlour is small, personal, and proudly hands-on, so you always know exactly who is caring for your pup. Cream poodles, scruffy doodles, and every good dog in between are in good company here.
