She sent the young girl out who was embarrassed and started to tell me that Roger fell off the table!! He appeared ok and i left! Wow.. Mmm hence to say I never returned!!!!

We took our Labradoodle here for a wash & trim paying attention to the ears on the end & his paws…read more What we got back was a dog with no hair on his ears & the hair trimmed from his paws & 70mm up his legs & his head hair had been trimmed to make him look like a poodle, in actual fact he looked more like a monkey. As my wife picked up the dog & I only saw him when she came home & when we looked at what these people had done to our beautiful pal I was absolutely disgusted. I left it for a week & then went back to speak to the person in charge & she was adamant that she had said that they would have to trim all the hair from his ears, I was stood there & know what was said & it wasn't that, sadly she was neither contrite nor apologetic but had the nerve to ask me to use them again ...........I don't think so

Like kids who love their play group, our dogs have no time to kiss us goodbye before they go out to…read moreplay with the other puppies. We own two Lakeland Terriers who, to keep their coats looking like they should, need to be hand stripped. This is a time consuming and tedious process often not carried out by dog groomers. When we moved back to Adelaide on the hunt for a dog groomer, these guys were more than open to hand stripping and the groomer even called us to find out more info before we booked them in. When we arrived, they knew exactly who we were and introduced themselves to our dogs. They required vaccination certificates and took time to learn about their habits before introducing them to other dogs. I should let you know, hand stripping is done in stages because it takes so long and the dogs becomes restless. Therefore, in between grooming sessions, our dogs used the daycare facility. When we picked Jasper and Quin up, they were happy, perky and didn't seem at all distressed. The groomer came out to let us know how they went and we discussed a long term grooming plan. We've been back a couple of times since and simply can't fault them. Anywhere our dogs pull on their lead to get into must be fun for them. I am 100% comfortable leaving our dogs in their care.

My dog loves his day at Doghouse Daycare! There's a form…read morethat needs to be filled out prior to taking your dog there. It's covers everything from vaccinations to what you allow your dog to do and not to do (e.g tell off for barking or playing rough). The staff here are friendly and it's obvious they love their job. So enthusiastic and make a big fuss about your pooch when you walk in. Plenty of staff around all areas watching dogs at all times. You can even pop in during the day to check on your pup to see how he/she is going. It's a little pricey, but you are giving your dog a treat, it's great for socialising the and getting rid of energy. My dog is tired the whole next day just from playing with the other dogs. P.S the daycare also make cute montage videos of the dogs playing and upload it to the website and also take photos of the dogs around Xmas time and make little cards.

To call this place pretty "rough and ready" might be an understatement. After hearing about Town…read moreand Country Dog Grooming at a pet store and reading their lovely website I thought this would be a nice, caring place to take my beloved pampered puppy. My father took him for his first hair cut and he came back looking pretty good. The second time I took him in myself. The owner was rude and impatient and had absolutely no time to listen to how I wanted my dog groomed. Not only was she lacking in people skills, she also didn't come accross as caring towards the animals!! My gregarious puppy seemed intimidated to go on the second occasion and was shaking and unhappy. This is the first time my happy dog has acted this way! My dog came back with a terrible haircut which was uneven, had big chunks of fur missing, and his belly and penis were shaved so close he's bald and grazed. On collection of my dog the staff still hadn't gotten any friendlier or better mannered and to top things off they will only accept cash or cheque payment and don't offer a reciept. If you're going to run a cash business from your back yard you can at least offer a professional, caring, and friendly service. I will never bring my dog here again!

This is a doggy Disneyland filled with pooch pleasures such as a sandbit, luscious lawn, paddling pools, tunnels, a doggy playground, toys, water sources, shade and numerous things that need a good sniffing. We bipeds are taken care of too and whilst my Italian Greyhound said ciao to some birds who dared to be in his vicinity, I played "Words with Friends" on my phone sat at a table under the shade sails. The dog park is accessible to casual visitors 24 hours a day, when the premises aren't being used for training and day care. Doggy day care is available Tuesday to Friday, but each day is set for certain dogs. It's brilliant for people with one dog to allow for socialisation, and to keep them entertained during the day when you're at work. My brother, his girlfriend and their two fur-children learnt the whys and wherefores of behaviour here and their certificates of completion proudly adorn their notice board. Jetty and Scrum are beautifully behaved thanks to HDC's efforts. For small-medium dogs the centre hs more than enough room for a good run, but if you've bigger dogs itching for a run, or you would like to run with your dog, the la crosse oval next to the centre is a local favourite for doing just that. Within the whole Brighton Sports Complex, and in the Dog Centre, it is expected (and illegal not to) clean up after your dog, but plastic bags and appropriate disposal is abundant. If nothing but the best will do for your canine companion, visit the Holdfast Dog Centre. "Living there you'll be free, if you truly wish to be."
