The girls here are WONDERFUL! It's always comforting to know you're leaving your friend in the hands of dog lovers! And they even have a backyard! I left her at day care for 4 hours in which she was walked for 15mins and it cost me $20 - I think we were lucky enough to get 1st time customer love! My pirate (french bulldog) got in the car happy and smelling great and tired after an eventful visit! All the other dogs are nice and clean! And we will most definitely be back and definitely recommending to all my FAV friends! Domo arigatou gozaimasu Maru-Maru!

Very reasonable prices for the inner west / Sydney and they do the most amazing job. Washed, styled, ears cleaned and toenails cut all for $58 per small dog. Even though my dogs are a pain when it comes to being groomed (which is why I gave up on trying to do it myself) these ladies are masters at wrangling feisty little bastards and making them look beautiful. Bows for the girls and scarves for the boys are included (super cute). They are really accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times around work schedules etc. They let the dogs mingle (clean on one side of the counter and dirty on the other, very courteous!) so if your dog is a trouble maker you might want to let them know. They have one strict rule and that is NO FLEAS! So make sure you get the frontline on your pups well ahead of their appointment. Can't recommend these guys enough. They also have speciality treatments like colour tinting, nail painting, mud baths etc for the super pampered pooch. Not to mention a shop with the cutest dog accessories from Japan and locally made doggy treats.

I had this place recommended to me by someone I met while we were walking our dogs in Hollis Park…read more(hi Sarah), and I brought my foster dog Coco in for a bath-and-dry to celebrate the day she went to her forever home. We arrived before they'd opened, but David invited us in anyhow and (after asking about allergies) started feeding Coco treats. BFFs 4 lyfe. I filled in some paperwork and then took myself off to nearby cafe Gather on the Green for a takeaway chai while I read in the park. David very kindly rang to let me know when Coco was ready to be collected. The store is designed so that there's a gated enclosed area that allows the dogs to sit on a bench seat in the shopfront window, so the first thing I saw when I walked up was Coco staring out at me and going bananas. David gave me her report card (and I'd like to take a photo of it and post it here as it's adorable but I left it in my housemate's car) - gold stars all the way! and he'd even written a very sweet message about finding her forever home and gave her a gift bag of chewy boney things. My emotions were very surface-y and he was really very kind and helped me pick out a toy from the huge selection to keep her occupied. These guys also run a group doggy day care if you need your dog looked after while you're at work or whatever - I wish I'd had the wherewithal to take advantage of it because I have no doubt that any dog would have a good time and be well looked after there. (The Facebook pics from the sessions are super cute.) Coco was happy to see me in a I've-been-having-the-best-time-and-I'm-so-glad-you're-here! kind of way. Unrelated to this review, on our walk home we went via the old Darlington school in the grounds of Sydney Uni and Coco realised a two-month-long dream when she managed to jump into the swampy moat part and thus destroyed all of David's hard work grooming her.

Not only did I have to tidy up Coco's trim of her ears, but the charge was more than any of their advertising states. Not at all apologetic for it, and did not answer my second email. Every other groomer I have been to take a few days to get in and are always busy. I doubt this place will last for long. Also took me 10 minutes to find a park in the morning.

In fact she's always rather enjoyed my bathe and cut sessions BUT I know the limits of my cutting skills and following some work in the garden recently, she was in need of a professional job. So it was that we sought out 'Secret Dogs Business'; a glam dog grooming parlour on Mowbray Road, WIlloughby where the scent that greets you as you open the door is a heady mix of expensive candles with a hint of dog bum. It was with head hanging in shame that I confessed to the groomer that she was matted and handed her over. 'Just do what you can,' I said and so it's only fair to report that the groomer did a very tidy BUT very short job. So this is where my review becomes more of an advice column. Firstly, keep up the brushing and don't let them get matted! Secondly, dogs might FREAK OUT when they realise that they are not a teddy bear and are in fact dogs albeit with baboons jacksies (vanity is not just for humans it seems). So my words to the wise. Be super clear about what you want the dog to look like and don't assume that it was the parlour's fault if your dog takes to their bed to issue withering stares for a few days.

If you can't reach someone, that is not permission to shave. Even a shonky mechanic will call you before they replace a filter for extra cost. When the matter was bought up, staff were defensive and unapologetic. I would like to shave their heads if I could but I would probably get arrested. How ironic! Grossly incompetent, zero care factor, disgraceful operation.
