Dog Groom Room

Dog Groom Room is a one-groomer salon in Coburg, where Cathy handles every dog herself. Doodle crosses make up much of the clientele in reviews, cavoodles and labradoodles in particular, and a fair share of the feedback comes from owners who arrived after difficult experiences elsewhere, often with a coat that had matted. Rather than rushing those dogs through, Cathy is described as working through the coat and then showing owners practical ways to keep on top of brushing between appointments.

Calm handling is the thread running through the reviews. Anxious dogs and older dogs are mentioned often, with owners saying Cathy settles them quickly and takes time over small extras, from a facial to a bandana at pick-up. Puppies get a short introductory session before a full groom, and several owners note their dog was comfortable by the second visit. The products used draw comment too, with dogs still smelling clean days later. It suits nervous, senior and doodle-coated dogs whose owners want honest coat advice without pressure to book more often than needed.
