Animel House Dip n Clip

Animel House Dip n Clip is a grooming business at Cameron Park in the Lake Macquarie area, run by Mel and Dave, who are named together in nearly every review. The work customers describe covers full grooms, washes with a proper blow-dry, and nail clipping for dogs of all sizes, as well as clipping for cats. They also groom for foster carers working with Dog Rescue Newcastle, and one carer's frightened, pregnant terrier cross is among the dogs written about.

Temperament is what reviewers keep returning to. A large dog terrified of water, a rescue wary of everyone, and a ten-year-old cat having his first shave are all described as coming home relaxed rather than rattled, and owners credit patience and a genuine fondness for the animals rather than any rush to get through the job. Communication before and after the appointment is praised, as is the willingness to keep working with the same pets through illness and old age. A sensible choice for first-time grooming clients, anxious animals, big dogs and cat owners.
