Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Carlton pet owners

What's included in a standard grooming service?

A standard full-grooming service in Carlton 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 Carlton and the broader Melbourne 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.

How often should I have my dog groomed?

Most professional groomers recommend scheduling appointments every 4-8 weeks, depending on your dog's breed and coat type. Long-haired breeds like Shih Tzus or Poodles typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks, while shorter-coated breeds might go 8-12 weeks between sessions. Regular brushing at home between professional grooms is essential for all coat types.

What questions should I ask before choosing a groomer?

When researching groomers in Carlton, ask about their experience with your specific breed, their handling methods for difficult or anxious dogs, what products they use, their COVID safety protocols, and whether you can view their facility. It's also worth asking about their policy for breaks during grooming sessions and how they handle unexpected issues like finding skin problems or mats.
