Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Footscray pet owners

What's included in a standard grooming service?

A standard full-grooming service in Footscray 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.

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

Are mobile grooming services available in our area?

Yes, many mobile groomers service Footscray 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.

What questions should I ask before choosing a groomer?

When researching groomers in Footscray, 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.
