Dog Grooming FAQ

Practical answers for Pakenham pet owners

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.

Are mobile grooming services available in our area?

Yes, many mobile groomers service Pakenham 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.

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