A clip above the rest .Dog grooming salon

A Clip Above The Rest is a dog grooming salon in Sandy Bay, just south of central Hobart, run by Teresa. What customers describe first is the format: one dog at a time and no cages. Reviewers repeatedly contrast that with previous groomers, where dogs waited around tied up for hours — here a groom is often finished within the hour and the dog goes straight home rather than sitting out the day.

The other constant in feedback is how timid dogs respond. Owners of small, easily spooked dogs say they stay calm through the appointment, and one whose dog had to be carried into every other salon says she now pulls to get inside. Older dogs and first-time puppies both feature, with owners noting their pets come home cheerful and alert rather than worn out. It suits nervous small dogs, puppies having their first groom, and senior dogs that cannot manage a long stay.
