Cheeky Dog Salon

Cheeky Dog Salon sits in Klemzig, in Adelaide's inner north-east, and pairs dog grooming with doggy daycare. Reviewers point out that the daycare has both indoor and outdoor areas rather than being kept entirely inside, which they treat as unusual locally. Plenty of dogs do both on the same visit and go home groomed and thoroughly worn out.

Feedback keeps coming back to the practical side of the operation: price quotes talked through properly before the groom starts, quick replies to questions and follow-ups, and premises owners describe as clean, hygienic and roomy for the number of animals in care. The team also gets credit for being happy to answer general dog questions. Grooming ranges from young dogs having an early clip — a six-month-old poodle is one example owners describe going well — through to regular booked appointments. It suits owners wanting grooming and daycare in one place, puppies at an early groom, and anyone who prefers pricing settled up front.
