Dog Daze

06/04/2026

somehow, without us even realizing, .ca turned five years old. that’s five years in business, five years of building, five years of showing up. five years of caring for dogs as if they were our own.

there’s a few things we wish we could have told our past selves (some sentimental, some practical). but ultimately, we wouldn’t change a thing about our journey, because it’s all lead us to the here and now.

we’ve got big dreams for the future of our little business, so here’s to (at least) five years more!
🥂

(and always, thanks to our amazing clients, and your furry family member. it’s your support that got us here.)

swipe to watch gus shake it out
➡️ 🫨

gus has been gracing us with his presence twice a week for the last 4 weeks, while we sort out his skin with a medicated shampoo. lucky for gus, his skin has seriously improved. if we ever make it to tanning season, he’ll be first in line for the beach chairs.

your dog deserves empathy, compassion, professional care. they deserve an environment that’s designed with their best interests in mind.

unfortunately, most corporate salons are not designed around your dog. they’ve built for volume. tight schedules. underpaid staff.

some dogs are resilient enough to handle it, but the truth is most are not!

we built dog daze to be the opposite of that. one-on-one attention, slower pacing, familiar faces.

grooming is more than a dog’s haircut, it’s about wellness, patience, and providing the best possible support for each and every dog that walks through our doors (whether they’re happy to be here or not.)

if that resonates with you, then welcome to dog daze.

is your senior dog ‘lazy’, or just uncomfortable?
is your reactive dog ‘snippy’ or just sore?
is your dog ‘sort of’ recovering, or can you help them recover faster?

when we prioritize or dog’s wellbeing, we so often focus on those things we can see, like coat condition and long nails. but what about the things we can’t?

if you think canine massage is ‘excessive’ or a luxury, think again! because it’s actually a central part of your dog’s wellbeing.

touch can bond, heal, assess, and mitigate injury or stress; and with a certified canine massage therapist like Ashley Duquette ( ) your dog has the best possible shot at natural pain management, and a regulated nervous system.

maybe you’re interested but skeptical? we urge you to reach out to Ashley for a chat, an assessment, or to book your appointment today.

long before dog daze was built, we were just two girls who loved animals. now we get to spend our days caring for yours.
