What Reviews Say

700 reviews analyzed

Good Dog of Port Coquitlam is highly regarded for its specialized care of reactive and anxious dogs, with many owners praising the staff's patience and the facility's structured 'Custom Care' programs. The grooming department, particularly staff members Amanda and Kara, receives consistent acclaim for high-quality cuts and gentle handling. While the majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some friction exists regarding mandatory reassessment fees for returning clients and occasional communication lapses during grooming sessions.

Worth noting

Allegations of harsh corrective methods (water spraying/stepping on leashes)

β€œthey would squirt him in the face with water while isolated... there was a girl stepping on the leash of a dog to force it down on the ground.”

Injury/Illness (Kennel Cough and minor scratches)

β€œRico has developed a very severe infection and cause of vomiting caused by kennel cough.”

Grooming injury

β€œyou can see how they injured her by excusing of matting fur... my pup has a lot of cuts in her body.”

Mandatory reassessment fees for returning clients(3 mentions)

β€œI don’t understand why we have to pay for our dog who has been there before. Seems like a money grab.”

Grooming communication/shaving without consent(5 mentions)

β€œWhen we asked if they could leave the ears instead... they basically said no, we're going to do it. They did not give us a choice.”

Pricing increases(3 mentions)

β€œthe prices since Dapper Dog has left are insane! Almost double the price!”
