Classic K9 Dog Grooming

Classic K9 Dog Grooming is Sharon's salon at Duncraig, in Perth's northern suburbs, and the point customers press hardest is consistency. Instructions are followed to the letter, and several reviewers say that is exactly what they had struggled to find elsewhere — style cuts that come back the same shape every visit rather than a different dog each time. Coat work on heavily furred breeds is a strength too: one border collie owner who never shaves his dog has him trimmed and thoroughly brushed out to strip the dead hair, and rates the result the best the coat has looked.

The salon is busy enough that regulars book roughly a month ahead, and more than one reviewer calls the price low for the standard of work. Dogs are described as leaving relaxed and pleased with themselves, including one who had become frightened of groomers after poor experiences elsewhere, and a small handmade accessory usually goes home with them. It suits double-coated breeds, dogs wary of grooming, and owners who want the same cut every time.
