Four Paws Doggie Spa Grooming

A dog's coat does not look after itself. Double coated breeds shed in clumps through the spring and fall, curly or long coats mat when brushing lapses, and nails grow long on city pavement, which is softer than the ground a paw was built for. Four Paws Doggie Spa Grooming runs a grooming and supply counter at 1-1471 Prairie Avenue, in the central part of Port Coquitlam. Prairie Avenue sits near the old downtown strip on Shaughnessy Street, close enough to the riverside trails that an appointment can pair with a walk. A well groomed coat is also a healthier one, since brushing finds skin problems early.

No phone number or website is available, so pet owners should confirm booking details, services and prices at the counter, using the address at 1-1471 Prairie Avenue, postal code V3B 1T3. Sensible first questions include how long an appointment runs, what happens with anxious dogs, and whether the groomer takes note of skin sensitivities or past injuries. For residents of the central neighborhoods, a grooming counter within walking distance of home and of the trails along the Coquitlam River makes routine care easier to keep up with, which is ultimately what keeps a coat in good order.
