It’s such a privilege to be able to groom siblings! Getting to know each of their personalities is like a little glimpse into what their home life must be like and the dynamics between each of them. Rigby (black) what super chill and very go-with-the-flow, Finnigan (Ginger) was confident and inquisitive, then Marley (Tortoiseshell) was a bit more shy. One thing they definitely have in common though is how much they love each other 😭🥹💕 Look at their tail hug as I was taking their photo! Oh my heart 💘

🌟 Ra was a particularly special dog we had the privilege of grooming. She was a talented actor and thrived in the limelight—smart, skilled, and full of personality (though she did have strong opinions about getting her feet groomed, lol). She built an incredible career in TV and film, and we were lucky to care for her right up until she took her final bow last year.

Her amazing mum, , created the awarded short documentary “Filming Dogs,” which follows Ra and three other dog actors as they audition for a role. The film dives into the fascinating world of canine stardom, questioning whether on-screen fame is for the dogs, their humans, or something else entirely.

And now, on what would have been Ra’s 16th birthday, her mum has made the film free and accessible for everyone to watch. See it here: vimeo.com/779467575

Let me tell you, I sat up in bed this morning and cried my little eyeballs out seeing Ra again. What an incredible legacy.

Thank you, Peta, for sharing this beautiful work and giving us the chance to see our dear mate Ra again. Xx 🌟 🎥 🐶

What a fun day with Lestat changing up his style again and these 3 cuties putting doing a little skate park model shoot! Loving their vibe 💕

✂️Groom by Annie using her MUCH loved . She adores all of them but no scissor compares the extreme curves they have to get all those pom poms and the top of the heart into shape! Thanks Delta 🙌

🎀 Spray up was done by who gave so much height. What’s Dolly Parton’s saying? The higher the hair the closer to God? 😆 So good! Thank you Brooke!

🦸‍♀️Upcycled Balaclavas, rainbow jacket and hand painted poodle jumper by the iconic .tas! Go check out her amazing creative and anti-fast fashion pieces 🙌

👧 Thank you to Isla, Cheska and Delphi for being models and actually directing the whole shoot! You gals rock!

🐩 And of course thank you to little who is an incredible little buddy of mine. He thrives off all the attention and is the goodest boy! Love you so much Lestat xx

We need your input! 💡

As groomers, we often notice a disconnect between groomers and pet parents when it comes to navigating the grooming process.

Every day, it feels like I come across posts in dog groups where pet parents are unsure why their dog needed to be shaved, why their brushing routine wasn’t sufficient, why their dog is behaving differently after grooming, or even what to ask for when visiting a groomer. I suspect some pet parents may hesitate to ask questions out of fear of being seen as complaining or lacking knowledge?

On the flip side, groomers can sometimes struggle to fully understand pet parents’ requests, clearly explain at-home care routines, outline grooming options, or convey how long grooming might take etc.

To help bridge this gap, we’re working on creating informational and educational material that supports pet parents in navigating grooming more confidently while also making the process smoother for groomers.

So, whether you’re a pet parent or a groomer, we’d love to hear from you!

What do you need more help with? Let us know—let’s learn and grow together!

Today, we stand in solidarity with Aboriginal communities, reflecting on the true history of this land and the enduring struggles rooted in colonisation. For many, January 26th is a day of mourning; for others, it is a symbol of survival.

For us, this day is about honouring and amplifying Aboriginal voices and showing gratitude for the land we work and live on — the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation — and we acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded.

Like the thousands of years of Aboriginal people before us, we vow to respect the sacred land in which we work and the animals that inhabit it.

Now, possibly more than ever, we stand united with Indigenous peoples across the globe.

We have donated to and encourage others to support Aboriginal and Indigenous causes, shop their businesses, show up for their movements, and listen to their stories, knowledge and experiences.

Pictured is our precious .cloverjune, wearing black, yellow, and red hair bands to celebrate her Dad’s culture. You can explore his art at 🖤💛❤️

Stevie feeling fresh after her trip all the way from LA, USA! Not common to see international pooches here in Australia, so it was very exciting. She also has incredible grooming table manners- credit to her mum and the team at for making her so confident in a salon 💕 cutest poppet ever!

Waffles will be uploading her new hairstyle pics to her Tumblr 🖤🥀⛓ We did a practical style on the body to help with the upkeep but couldn’t resist a little emo haircut in the front. Taking her from the guinea pig crate to the mosh pit!
PS- one of the funniest Guinea pigs I’ve groomed. A girl that knows what she wants and how to boss me around. Love her 😂

In this edition of “Pet Groomer Quirks That Might Raise Eyebrows,” let’s talk about something that’s surprisingly common in our world: removing hair from our eyeballs! 😂 Did you know that after a long day of grooming, we often find ourselves pulling your pet’s hair out of our eyeballs? It’s a unique bonding experience in our salon—we even like to share our “finds” with each other! Check out this one I just pulled out! Isn’t it a doozy? 🤤😂 I just showed Liam and my son and they don’t seem to appreciate it enough so posting for groomers 😂

P.S. This post goes out to my aunty, who has a serious aversion (phobia even?) to hair and always says she could never do my job!

As we kick off the new year, it’s the perfect time to think about booking your pet’s grooming appointments for the year ahead!

Getting your animal bestie on a grooming schedule offers some fantastic benefits:

1. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: By booking ahead you secure your favourite days and times! No more scrambling for last-minute availability or facing disappointment when we’re fully booked.

2. 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱: Say goodbye to the stress of remembering when your pet was last groomed or remembering to schedule appointments.

3. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘀: A consistent schedule means you can plan for your pet’s fur growth and really nail down the perfect look. With regular feedback, you can experiment with styles and achieve the results you’ll love!

4. 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘁-𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Keeping a grooming routine reduces the pressure on you to manage your pet’s coat at home. Less tangling and matting means a smoother experience for everyone!

5. 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁: Regular grooming keeps your pet comfortable and free from matting and dense undercoats. It’s the gift of feeling great all year long!

6. 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆: Pets thrive on consistency! A regular grooming schedule helps them know what to expect, enjoy the process and feel more relaxed when they come in. It means we get to really know and understand them too!

7. 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: When we see your pets regularly, we can catch any potential health issues early—like lumps, skin problems, or behavioural changes. It helps us establish a baseline of what’s “normal” for your pet and if we see changes we can let you know to get them checked out.

--------------------------------------------------------------

So why wait? Let’s get those appointments booked and set your pet up for a fabulous year ahead!

To get your year’s worth of appointments send us an email to [email protected] with:

* Your Name
* Your Pet’s Name
* What grooms/haircuts you would like
* How far apart between appointments you want
* Your preferred days and times

And if you’re unsure on what schedule is ideal - don’t stress! Our staff can also advise you on what they recommend.

Inspiring the next generation of pet groomers ✨ Babygirl’s first time spectating all day at a grooming comp and I simply had to share these cute pics because 1) she’s was so excited 2) look at her earrings 3) It fills my heart to have such a wonderful grooming community inspiring her!

Some of you may have met my daughter, Delphine. It’s school holidays and she has been “working” at the salon every day. She’s so passionate about animals and expresses she wants to be groomer one day. She has a gift for animals like very few I have seen (she taught her cat to walk comfortably on leash, hehe!)

Grooming comps can be a long day for spectators but she was so engaged the whole time! It makes me burst with joy that there are so many genuinely kind, encouraging, friendly people in this community that took the time to explain things to her and include her - from conformation, to how judging works, how to prep the dogs and even trusting her with doggy sitting duties! We are lucky to have this community caring for animals and one another.

Special shoutout to Brooke from our team for being our buddy all day and making us laugh, to Tiarne and Tay who put on the event and let Delphi look after Sparkles, Marcarla who took her behind scenes, and Arrow and Mickey who made the day so fun. As well as so many others but I’m running out of room in this caption haha.

The grooming industry here in Aus shines so bright 🌟

Tamed the mane (Matilda the cat was already very tame, thanks Matilda!) She’s not got her floof a little more under control now for the warmer weather, though still a fluffy teddy bear 🧸

Lestat scored himself a fresh groom and a sleepover at Aunty Annie’s house while his family are currently in New Orleans (appreciate that I found a song with New Orleans and Poodles in it to accompany this post, ha! Though can only be heard on Instagram, sorry Facebook!) Bless his little soul. I’m sure so many of you have met him as he if often seated next to his mum, Lori, on reception and patiently is our “demo dog” when showing clients brushing techniques. He deserves a play date with his buddies for being the bestest boy 💕
