What questions should I ask before choosing a groomer?

When researching groomers in Pakenham, 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.

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.

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

Many Pakenham 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 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.
