Just wondering if any of you are from Saskatoon and know of a good Veterinary clinic and/or groomer in the city? Thanks!

Hi! I'm super late on this thread, but I just posted on another thread that I'm from Saskatoon too

I take Layla to Arlington Animal Hospital... I didn't have much time to be choosy though because not long after moving here I came home from work one evening to Layla with blood through the fur on her head

(It turned out to be from scratching... my baby has allergies!) I called the first place I could find that was open late! They have been great with her though so I stuck with them. I took her in for a tooth extraction last year, and she came home with a tiny little tennis ball in her take-home bag that she just loved!
As for groomers, I have found some terrible ones! I had it so easy when I lived in Moose Jaw and had a great groomer from the time I got Layla, but it's a different story here! But now I've found a place I love called It's a Dog's Life. They are super friendly and do a GREAT grooming job. They also don't leave the dogs crated up all day like some groomers... everytime I go to pick Layla up, they just open the door a crack and she comes running out to me in the lobby! She seems very happy when she's there too.

Wow! So nice to have someone else from Saskatoon with me here! haha! Thanks for the tips! I'll have to check out It's a Dog's Life - I've seen ads for it around the city! How old is your Layla? Chloe will be 16 weeks tomorrow.

I wonder if there are any other saskatooners on here!

Layla is 3 and a half years old. I miss when she was a puppy! It goes by so fast! Have you thought about enrolling Chloe in puppy classes? If you do, I would absolutely recommend Paws N Train

I took Layla there last year (I know, a little old for a puppy!) for more socialization since she seemed to be so scared of other dogs at the dog park! It really brought her out of her shell and she learned a lot of basic obedience. I will definitely be taking my next puppy, whenever I'm able to get Layla a playmate!
I did meet another Saskatoonian on here a couple of years ago but I'm not sure if she's still around. When it gets warmer out we should set up some play time in the dog park! I never see any yorkies there!

I really want to take Chloe to a puppy class! Thanks for the recommendation! I will give them a call!

Where is there a dog park? (I'm fairly new to the city, if you can't tell!) I would love to set up a time for Chloe and Layla to play in the dog park. It's getting warmer now, so hopefully soon!

There are a few dog parks around the city but I take Layla to the one at the end of Broadway. If you're ever driving on circle by the new Stonebridge developments (with the new walmart and stuff) there's a big fenced off area with a giant hill and that's the dog park

Which part of the city are you in? I just go to that park because I'm closest to it. I've actually never tried going to any of the others!

carmengamble · 03-20-2009, 11:11 AM

I'm close too! I live in Briarwood. I love Stonebridge, it's so pretty! Which area do you live in? PS - I am loving the weather here right now! I hope it continues to melt all this gross snow!

I live in Buena Vista

I am soooooo looking forward to summer! I was driving to work this morning in the fog and thinking "nice first day of spring this is!" But at least it's warmer out!
