The Polished Pooch officially opened our doors back in January 2018!
Since then, we have merged with CocoMutts to expand our extraordinary service. We now offer grooming services in both a home setting and a commercial environment. This allows us to accept more clients at both spaces!
Chloe & Zoey are continuing their full-time schedules in the home salon, while Alex is working Monday-Thursday in the commercial facility and Friday's from the home salon.
Both locations are full insured and ready to take on your pets!

I am a Certified Master Groomer and the owner of The Polished Pooch. I am so proud to be Ottawa's premier professional dog groomer! I provide Ottawa's pets and their humans with only the best grooming services. All dogs are welcome here!
As an all breed groomer, I attend frequent seminars and competitions to ensure my skills are up-to-date. Safety and comfort of each animal is my number one priority.

Alex currently works out of the commercial space Monday-Thursday from 9am-2:30pm, and the home salon on Fridays from 9am-4pm.
I began my grooming career in 2011 and continue to improve on my skills and knowledge by working under different groomers around the Ottawa area. I plan to further my education by becoming CPPS certified.
I love my clients dogs like they're my own, and take time to ensure they are comfortable and happy while in my care.
Chloe works out of the home salon Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm.
Having started grooming in 2014, Zoey absolutely loves dogs, and has worked hard to create a calm, low stress environment for our clients while they are in the salon. She hopes to compete next year, and will start her certification with CPPS in January 2022. She works part time with Team Ace assisting in preparing and handling dogs in the show ring, along with handling her own Pointer, Daniel, to his Canadian Championship. Zoey loves to groom in the Asian fusion style, fluffy teddy bear trims, and breed profiles. She can’t wait to meet you!
Zoey works out of the home salon Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm.

"The Polished Pooch is our go-to groomer. They do excellent work and are so good with our nervous German Shepherd and our high energy Boxador. We will never go to another groomer. We trust Alex because we know she treats our dogs like they're her own!"
- Nicole W.
"Alex’s professionalism, thoroughness and skill made Buster’s first haircut a breeze (no small feat considering he’s an Old English Sheepdog)! She took time to explain everything to us and was so caring toward our little guy. We couldn’t be happier!"
- Joanna B.
"Our schnauzer went to Alex as a scruffy little pup and came home a handsome little man! He loved his intro to hand-stripping and has an extra proud pep in his step after his polished make-over. Thank you, Alex! Ozzy can’t wait to go back!"
- Heather S.
"Alex is a very caring, professional and gentle groomer. My dogs always look amazing after a visit and I feel so much better leaving them with someone who knows what she's doing and takes time to consider my older girls need for breaks. Can't recommend enough!"
