CC’s Pampered Pups

CC's Pampered Pups is a dog grooming salon in Kedron, in Brisbane's inner north, and much of its standing with customers comes down to communication. Reviewers describe being asked about their dog's needs and their own wishes before the first groom, getting photo updates part-way through the appointment, and never finding a decision made about the coat without being told why first. Owners who had tried several local groomers before landing here are well represented, and one regular mentions driving 45 minutes each way rather than use somewhere closer.

The other theme running through the feedback is patience with dogs that need it — nervous dogs, and an elderly dog losing his sight and hearing whose owner trusts this salon alone with him. Clients also note that their dogs are relaxed and happy at pick-up rather than wound up. Owners of anxious or senior dogs, and anyone who wants to be kept in the loop while their dog is being groomed, are the clearest fit.
