Safe, Festive, and Fun Halloween Grooming with Toronto's Neighbourhood Pet Experts

Creative Halloween grooming in a modern salon: pumpkin and bat-wing trim

This October, let Paws in the Bath turn your dog’s spooky season into a celebration of wagging tails and safe, creative style, delivered by your neighbourhood grooming experts in Toronto, Bradford, and our local communities. Our friendly, pet-first team is dedicated to making every dog look and feel their best, with creative trims, pet-safe products, and a focus on comfort, fun, and stress-free care.


Spooky Styles Worth Barking About


At Paws in the Bath, creative grooming is an art form, and we take pride in it. In our salons, we customise every look to your dog’s coat type and comfort:


  • Festive Topcoat Styling: Shape and fluff curly or thick coats into playful textures that complement Halloween accessories without any dyeing or shaving.
  • Bat-Wing Trims: Tidy up the flanks and spine of long-haired breeds with a small trim so costume wings can fit comfortably and won’t tug on the fur.
  • Pumpkin-Orange Mohawks: We dye with non-toxic, pet-safe colour and shape the spines of fur into fall-ready spikes.
  • Candy-Corn Ombre Tails: Blend three safe dye shades at the tip of the tail for a sweet seasonal effect.


Every style combines festive fun with gentle handling; our team tests fit and comfort before you head home.


Safety First, Selfies Second


Creative grooming is only memorable when dogs feel good. That’s why Paws in the Bath prioritises:


  • Breed-Specific Techniques: From pugs to retrievers, we adjust grooming and trimming so costumes fit comfortably, keeping hoods off faces and ears clear.
  • Pet-Safe Products: Only pH-balanced shampoos, hypoallergenic conditioners, and non-toxic dyes touch your pup.
  • Stress-Aware Handling: Our stylists watch for stress signals and pause if a dog needs a break, no shortcuts, no rush.


With safety as our foundation, every Instagram-worthy photo comes from a happy, relaxed dog.


Treats to Reward Their Spooky Style


After a fabulous Halloween trim, reward your pup from our in-store snack bar. We carry a rotating selection of high-value treats from top Canadian brands, perfect for reinforcing good behaviour and ending every session on a sweet note.
