Why Max and Joy
What Makes Us Different From Every Salon in Sudbury
Every groomer in Sudbury works out of a salon. We do not. Here is what that actually means for your dog.
Exclusive to Max and Joy
Drop off for daycare.
Pick up clean.
No other pet care service in Sudbury offers this. When your dog spends the day or night with us, you can add a bath before pickup. One drop-off. Two things done. Discounted rate.
01
Drop off in the morning
Your dog joins daycare or starts their boarding stay as normal
02
Bathed during their day
Bath and paw tidy done while they are already comfortable with us
03
Pick up clean and happy
Your dog comes home smelling great. One less errand for you.

Discounted add-on rate
Bath add-on from $40 when combined with any boarding or daycare booking
The Difference
Max and Joy vs.
A Traditional Grooming Salon
Traditional Grooming Salon
Busy, rotating, and loud
- Different groomer each visit — your dog doesn't know who they are with
- Book 1–4 weeks ahead — no flexibility for last-minute needs
- Loud environment with multiple dogs — very stressful for anxious dogs
- Prices often hidden — have to call to find out what anything costs
- Only grooming — no boarding, daycare, or walking under the same roof
Max and Joy
Home-based and personal
- Always Sim or Heena — the same two people every single time
- Same-day grooming available when spots open up
- Calm, quiet home — ideal for anxious, sensitive, or reactive dogs
- All prices listed publicly — no surprises at pickup
- Add grooming to any boarding or daycare booking at a discounted rate

Common Questions
Dog Grooming in Greater Sudbury
Everything dog owners in Sudbury ask us before their first grooming booking.
Not at this stage. We offer baths, blow drys, nail trims, and paw hair tidies. We focus on what we do really well. If your dog needs a full breed-specific cut, we can point you toward a certified grooming salon in Sudbury.
This is one of the most common reasons people come to us. Our home is quiet and small. There are no other dogs barking, no loud dryers in the next room, no strangers. Many anxious dogs do significantly better in a home setting than at a traditional grooming salon.
It depends on our availability at the time. We sometimes have same-day spots open. Other times we book up 1 to 2 weeks ahead. The best thing to do is reach out directly and ask. Call us or check the booking link and we will tell you exactly what is available.
We are at 536 Danforth Avenue in Sudbury. Dogs come to us for grooming. We welcome clients from all of Greater Sudbury — New Sudbury, Garson, Flour Mill, Minnow Lake, the Donovan, South End, and Downtown Sudbury.
Yes, and this is one of the most popular combinations we offer. Your dog stays with us and gets a bath before you pick them up. We offer a discounted rate for grooming added onto any boarding or daycare visit. No other pet service in Sudbury offers this.
Yes, always dog-specific shampoo. If your dog has a skin condition, sensitivity, or allergy, let us know when you book. We will discuss options and make sure we use something appropriate before their appointment.
For standalone grooming visits a meet and greet is not required, though we always welcome a quick introduction if you would like one. If you are combining grooming with boarding or daycare for the first time, a meet and greet is required before that first stay.
