About Baja's Groomer

Baja's Groomer is an all-breed dog and cat grooming salon serving Preston in Melbourne's inner north. The work centres on individual care and the health of each coat and skin rather than a high-volume conveyor of appointments.

The grooming routine pairs a warm hydrobath and fluff blow-dry with a finish of aromatherapy coat gloss made from pure steam-distilled lavender and chamomile essential oils. Beyond the cut, the salon attends to the practical side of coat care, offering de-matting, ear cleaning with advice on infections, nail clipping, and anal gland expression, plus a range of flea, medicated and sensitive shampoos for pets that need them. Dog services run from a full groom through to breed clips, hand stripping for wire coats, a lighter tidy-up, and wash-only visits, with Schnauzer and Poodle cuts among the breed work. Cats are catered for too, covering nails, ears and clip-offs.

Bookings are essential and the summer months fill quickly, so advance planning is encouraged.
