About Alphapet Boronia (Previous Boronia Dog & Cat Grooming)
AlphaPet Boronia is the Boronia salon of AlphaPet, a Melbourne pet grooming group, sitting on Boronia Road in the Knox area of the city's outer east. Formerly known as Boronia Dog & Cat Grooming, it handles both dogs and cats under the wider AlphaPet banner, with a focus on careful, breed-appropriate finishing rather than a quick once-over.
Grooming is built around three core packages that scale to how much work a coat needs: a Premium Bath covering shampoo and conditioning, blow-dry and brush-out, nail trim and ear cleaning; a Tidy Up that adds a maintenance trim around the face and tail; and a Full Groom with a body clip and scissor finish matched to the dog's breed and coat. A specialist hand-scissoring option is offered for owners after a more bespoke finish. Cats are catered for with their own bath and full-groom packages, and the salon notes its groomers are trained to read feline behaviour and work at the cat's pace. The team describes handling all temperaments with patience, taking a gentle, reassuring approach with puppies, and welcoming questions before booking for pets that find grooming stressful.
With curly and double-coated breeds such as poodles, cavoodles, groodles, schnauzers and Pomeranians named on its service pages, the Boronia salon suits owners of doodle crosses and other high-maintenance coats.
