Bubble’s Dog Salon

Bubble's Dog Salon is a relatively new dog grooming salon in Malvern East, in Melbourne's inner south-east, run by a groomer customers name as Duyen. Puppy first haircuts are what it comes up for most often — several reviews are from owners bringing a four-month-old in for an initial groom — and reviewers describe an open pen where dogs have room to move about and meet each other rather than waiting shut away.

The environment is what customers mention first: clean, calm, professional and unusually roomy for a salon. On results, owners describe dogs coming home soft, smelling fresh and free of matting, and one had a shaped cut done to request with a shorter body and longer legs. Appointment availability is described as generous and the pricing as competitive. That combination makes it a sensible first stop for puppies having their first groom, for owners who would rather their dog was not crated between stages, and for anyone who wants a styled cut instead of a straight clip-off.
