Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Melbourne 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.

My dog gets anxious during grooming. What can I do?

Many Melbourne groomers specialize in handling nervous pets. Start with short, positive visits where nothing stressful happens. Consider booking during quieter times and bringing familiar items from home. Some groomers offer special services for anxious dogs, including extra breaks, calming techniques, or even separate rooms away from other animals.

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 Melbourne groomers offer basic wash-and-tidy packages as well as premium options with additional services.

What questions should I ask before choosing a groomer?

When researching groomers in Melbourne, 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.
