Bubble & Squeak pet grooming and treats

Bubble & Squeak is a pet grooming room and treat shop in the centre of Castlemaine, and visitors tend to mention both halves of it. Reviewers describe a small, busy, carefully fitted-out space where people drop in for treats as well as bookings, and where the grooming side covers washes, blow dries and full trims. There is more than one person on the team, and travellers passing through have had luck ringing on the day.

What comes through most in feedback is temperament. Owners of dogs that snap, squirm or have never been groomed before say the team stayed calm and unhurried with them, and a border collie owner who was nervous about the whole idea reported his dog was noticeably less apprehensive than usual. A schnauzer's first-ever groom and a first wash and blow dry both drew the same comment: friendly, patient, and a good result. It suits anxious dogs, first-timers, and owners who want nails done at the same visit.
