Dog grooming and spa concept Splash and Dash Groomerie & Boutique has just opened its second location in Canada at the Appleview Square on Appleby Line in Burlington, west of Toronto. Franchisee owner is Pedro Patricio. Introduced in St Petersburg in Florida in 2010, Splash and Dash features a safety-first grooming service as well as a range of wellness supplies and services. The membership-based concept entered the Canadian market in late 2025 at the CF Shops at Don Mills in North York. With two locations now in Canada, the franchise chain also has about 20 locations throughout the U.S. and plans call for more. Michael Saperia, Jordan Snow and Adam Henechowicz at The Behar Group Realty have been retained to secure locations in the Toronto area for the concept. Lifestyle centres, malls and plazas that provide surface parking and convenient access are necessary. The size required is in the 1000 to 1500 square foot range. The current area targeted is from Lawrence Ave. to St Clair Ave. and from the Don Vally Pkwy to Bayview Ave.
