Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Kotara pet owners

Do I need to prepare my dog before their grooming appointment?

To get the most from your grooming appointment, brush your dog thoroughly a day or two before if possible (especially if they're matted). Take them for a walk to relieve themselves before arriving. If it's their first visit, bring vaccination records and inform the groomer about any health issues, sensitivities, or behavioral concerns your dog might have.

How should I maintain my dog's coat between grooming appointments?

Between professional grooming visits, maintain your dog's coat with regular brushing appropriate to their coat type (daily for long-haired breeds, 2-3 times weekly for medium coats, weekly for short coats). Check and clean ears weekly, brush teeth regularly, and keep an eye on nail length. Ask your Kotara groomer to recommend specific home-care products for your dog's particular needs.

What's included in a standard grooming service?

A standard full-grooming service in Kotara typically includes a bath with appropriate shampoo and conditioner, blow-dry, brush-out, haircut/styling to breed standard or owner preference, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and often a light spritz of cologne. Additional services like de-shedding treatments, teeth brushing, or specialized skin treatments are usually available for an extra fee.

Are mobile grooming services available in our area?

Yes, many mobile groomers service Kotara and the broader Newcastle area. These fully-equipped grooming vans come to your home, which can be ideal for dogs that get stressed during car rides or in busy salon environments. Mobile services typically cost $10-30 more than in-salon grooming but offer the convenience of not having to transport your pet.
