Since 1989, Canine Design Inc has been helping Kensington pets look and feel their best. Our family-owned and woman-operated salon brings 35+ years of experience to each grooming session, giving your furry friend attentive care in a loving environment. We've built our reputation on gentle handling, thorough grooming techniques, and creating a calm space where dogs of all personalities feel at ease. As a local favorite and Kensington Best Pet Grooming 2025 Winter Finalist, we understand that your pet is a beloved family member who deserves careful grooming. Our bilingual staff (English and Spanish) ensures smooth communication with all clients, making your visit straightforward from start to finish.

At Canine Design, we value honesty, which is why we provide free consultations to discuss your pet's unique needs before grooming begins. Our salon uses safe, non-toxic products in a clean, air-conditioned facility that prioritizes your pet's comfort. For everyone's safety, we require current vaccinations for all pets we serve. Our team has particular skill with poodles and nervous pets who need extra patience and positive encouragement. We know that many animals feel uneasy about grooming, so we approach each pet with gentle care.
