Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Essendon pet owners

Are mobile grooming services available in our area?

Yes, many mobile groomers service Essendon 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 much does dog grooming typically cost in Melbourne?

Dog grooming prices in Melbourne generally range from $50-$120, depending on your dog's size, coat type, and the services needed. Small dogs with simple coats might start around $50-70, while large or double-coated breeds can cost $90-120+ for a full groom. Many Essendon groomers offer basic wash-and-tidy packages as well as premium options with additional services.

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 Essendon groomer to recommend specific home-care products for your dog's particular needs.

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.
