Aloha K9 Gold Coast

Aloha K9 Gold Coast is a dog grooming salon on Tibbing Street in Nerang, built around a calm, low-pressure approach to handling dogs. The salon describes its work as gentle grooming, using positive reinforcement and a method it calls Riding The Wave, where each dog is worked at its own comfortable pace with breaks and cuddles along the way.

The experience leans heavily on patience and comfort rather than rush. Dogs are washed with a massage, then dried with warm towels that are disinfected after every use, and the salon uses natural, biodegradable, soap-free and pH-balanced products, including a strawberry shampoo with coconut oil and a conditioning treatment with Australian olive oil and vitamin E. The team frames its care simply, treating every dog as if it were their own. That focus on a relaxed, reassuring visit suits nervous or sensitive dogs as much as regulars in for a tidy-up.

Beyond the salon, the same crew runs dog training and a long-standing community effort, the Pink Paw Program, offering free training support to rescue adopters since 2014.
