Insanity Barks

A grooming counter does its best work when nobody notices it: a calm dog, a tidy cut, and an owner who did not spend the evening with a shedding animal on the couch. Insanity Barks is listed as a pet grooming and supply counter at 1641 Westminster Ave in Port Coquitlam. The name leans playful, which suits a business whose entire clientele arrives on four legs and whose owners happily treat them like family.

PoCo is a good city for exactly this kind of business. The Traboulay PoCo Trail loops the town along riverbanks, dikes, and greenbelts, and dogs are part of the daily traffic on it, along with the parks and the quieter streets near the Coquitlam River. All that outdoor life produces muddy paws and seasonal shedding, which is where the grooming counter earns its keep. Ask how a first visit works for a dog that has never been groomed professionally, since that first experience shapes every one after. No phone number or website is shown, so confirming the Westminster Avenue address and current booking arrangements before visiting is the sensible step. Ask about records or vaccine requirements for a first visit, how far out appointments are booking, and whether the counter stocks the food or supplies your animal already uses.
