Toronto is becoming not just a hub of culture, food, and urban hustle — it is also a city where pets are treated like royalty. If you want to pamper your four‑legged friend, there are several pet spas in Toronto that offer grooming, luxury treatments, and even resort‑style stays. Here are seven of the best pet spas in Toronto that will make your pup (or kitty) wag their tail.


1. Dog World Resort & Spa

Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, Dog World Resort & Spa offers luxury and holistic pampering for both dogs and cats. They provide grooming, boutique shopping, daycare, and a full spa experience. What stands out: their staff are experienced and compassionate, the environment is clean and inviting, and grooming is personalized so that each pet leaves looking — and feeling — their best.
If you want convenience and comprehensive pet care in one place, this is a strong contender. 


2. Park9 Dog Playcare, Spa + Resort

For pets who love to play and get pampered, Park9 is a strong pick. With two locations in the GTA, they combine socialization, play, and spa/grooming services. They emphasize stress‑free grooming, natural products, and no cage dryers. Their resort‑style boarding with amenities makes it more than just a quick bath and trim. If your pet is social, playful, or tends to get anxious, the environment at Park9 can help make a spa day feel like a retreat. 


3. Cosmopawlitan Pet Boutique + Spa

If you prefer a more boutique, holistic approach, Cosmopawlitan is worth considering. Established in 2008, it merges grooming, wellness, and pet retail all under one roof. They use safe, high‑quality grooming products, avoid crate confinement unless requested, and offer one dog per groomer at a time so your pet gets individual attention. Their grooming package typically includes shampoo & dry, nail trim, ear cleaning, etc., with an emphasis on comfort. 


4. Pratts & Paws

Pratts & Paws is a smaller, more intimate spa and boarding service in downtown Toronto. What makes it special is the personal care: fully insured, certified grooming, pet‑first aid trained staff, and a philosophy of treating each pet like family. They offer grooming, baths & tidy, nail trims and also boarding. For pet owners who value attention to detail and friendly service in a smaller setting, Pratts & Paws is a compelling choice. 


5. Peka Paws Retreat

For a retreat‑style experience, Peka Paws Retreat goes beyond ordinary grooming. Their spa component, called The Spa Pawpera, includes bath, nails, facials and even soothing audio (sometimes music) to help pets relax. They also offer boarding and overnight “paw‑jama parties.” The environment is warm and cozy; they cater to puppies, seniors, pets with special needs, anxious animals and so on. If your pet needs more time, gentler care or extra calming, this is a great place. 


6. Puppy House Grooming

If you are looking for a balance of affordable, professional care plus special treatments, Puppy House Grooming is a solid option. Their offerings include creative grooming, medicated baths, routine grooming (haircuts, nail trims, etc.), and boarding. They have been operating since 2008, and are known for being thorough and caring. For many pet owners, this is a go‑to for regular spa visits. 


7. Pet Spa Toronto (Sherbourne / Corktown)

If you live in or visit central Toronto, Pet Spa Toronto in the Sherbourne / Corktown area might be your most convenient option. They are a more traditional grooming & spa salon: full grooming, baths, haircuts, nail/ear care. Walk‑ins are accepted for some smaller services, though appointments are recommended. While reviews are mixed, many customers like their convenience and central location. If proximity is important, this might be a go‑to. 


What to Consider When Choosing a Pet Spa

When picking which pet spa is right for you and your furry friend, here are some criteria to keep in mind:

  • Staff Training & Certifications — Are the groomers certified? Do they have pet first aid training?

  • Comfort & Stress Minimization — Look for places that use gentle handling, calming products, avoid high‑stress tools (cage dryers, etc.), allow pets time to settle in.

  • Hygiene & Safety — Clean facilities, sanitized tools, proper handling to avoid infections.

  • Customizability — Can you tailor the experience (e.g. special shampoos, skin‑sensitive treatments, different styles)?

  • Amenities / Extras — If your pet enjoys more than just a bath: spa facials, aromatherapy, paw care, even overnight care.

  • Location & Convenience — It helps if the spa is fairly close, or offers pick‑up/drop‑off, or flexible hours.

  • Reviews & Reputation — What other pet owners are saying. Sometimes going by word of mouth or recent reviews can spare a bad experience.


Final Thoughts

Toronto offers a broad spectrum of pet spa options — from ultra‑luxury retreats to boutique salons to convenient groomers in the city core. If your pet loves being pampered, or if you feel they deserve something special (especially older animals or those with special needs), splurging on one of the higher‑end or more soothing spas can be worth it. On the other hand, regular grooming visits to a reliable mid‑level spa can keep them healthy, happy, and comfortable without breaking the bank.
