More Than Just a Haircut
Why Professional Dog Grooming Matters
Regular grooming is the first line of defence for your dog’s health.
While a fresh coat looks great, professional groomers do much more than just wash and clip. They provide essential skin checks, nail trimming to prevent joint pain, and ear cleaning to stop infections and so much more.
Whether you own a double-coated Retriever or a non-shedding Poodle mix, maintaining a 4-6 week grooming schedule is vital to prevent painful matting and keep your pet comfortable year-round.
Choosing the Right Service for Your Dog
Not sure whether to book a van or visit a shop? Here is the breakdown:
Mobile Grooming
Best for: Anxious dogs, convenience, and one-on-one attention.
Mobile dog groomers park their fully equipped salon trailer in your driveway or out the front of your house. This means no car rides for dogs who get carsick or simply wont stop yapping, no cages, and no waiting around with other barking dogs. It is a premium, stress-free experience.
Salon Grooming
Best for: Social dogs, large breeds, and lower costs.
Salons often have access to larger equipment and multiple staff members, allowing them to handle giant breeds or complex style cuts more efficiently. It is generally more affordable than mobile services and great for dogs who enjoy the social aspect of a day out.
Dog Grooming Pricing Guide
Grooming prices in Australia vary based on your location, the condition of your dog’s coat, and their behaviour. Below is a general market estimate for a standard “Wash, Clip & Blow Dry.”
| Dog Size | Price Estimate |
|---|---|
| Small (e.g. Terrier) | $70 – $90 |
| Medium (e.g. Spaniel) | $85 – $110 |
| Large (e.g. Labradoodle) | $100 – $140+ |
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I wash my dog?
Generally every 4 weeks. Over-washing can strip natural oils, while under-washing leads to skin issues. However it can depend on various factors such as if they’ve been for a swim or a run through mud.
Do mobile groomers need my power/water?
Most modern trailers are fully self-sufficient with their own water tanks and generators, but some may ask to plug into your power outlet or front garden tap.
How old should a puppy be for their first groom?
We recommend booking a ‘puppy orientation’ groom as early as 12-14 weeks old (after vaccinations) to desensitize them to the noise and handling.
