About Dakoda Dog Services
Dakoda Dog Services is a locally owned dog grooming salon in Carrum Downs, in Melbourne's south-east, run by groomer Jenni alongside dog walking and holiday pet care. Grooming sits at the heart of the business, with a menu that spans full breed-style grooms, bath and tidy-ups, bath and blow dries, and deshedding for both long and short coats.
The salon works across a wide range of coats, from poodle mixes, terriers, maltese and shih tzu through to double-coated breeds like the samoyed, golden retriever and border collie. There is a dedicated puppy first groom for dogs aged thirteen weeks to six months, structured as a gentle introduction to bathing, brushing, nail trimming and a light tidy so young dogs get used to the sensations of being groomed. Every groom includes the practical details that keep a dog comfortable between visits: paw pads clipped, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, a sanitary clip and a finishing cologne.
Dakoda runs on a regular appointment roster and asks owners to note their dog's breed and name when booking.
