About Buttercut Pet Grooming

Buttercut Pet Grooming is a dog and cat grooming salon on Albion Street in Essendon, in Melbourne's Moonee Valley, with a second salon in Port Melbourne. The salon frames grooming as more than a tidy-up, building each session around the coat, skin and comfort of the individual pet rather than a one-size cut.

The service menu reflects that approach. Alongside the core bath, tidy and full-groom packages sit breed and style grooms shaped to standards for dogs like the Cavoodle, Groodle, Bichon Frise and Poodle, plus a dedicated cat grooming line covering bath, brush-out and full-body haircuts. Spa enhancements run from a detoxifying charcoal scrub to a Nagayu CO2 coconut bath formulated for sensitive skin and a natural mud massage made with sea mud and seaweed extract. Non-invasive deep teeth cleaning, done without anaesthesia, and practical add-ons such as de-shedding, matting removal and anal gland expression round out the options.

With two locations and online booking, the salon suits owners after a considered, skin-and-coat-focused groom for both dogs and cats.
