Dog Grooming By Jacqui

Dog Grooming By Jacqui is a small grooming service in Ringwood East, in Melbourne's outer east, run by Jacqui with a little help alongside her. Customers describe somewhere the local dogs recognise — one regular reportedly tries to invite himself in when he walks past. Full haircuts are the mainstay, but nail trimming comes up just as often, including from owners who had unhappy experiences at other places and were relieved by how calmly it was handled here.

Patience is the quality named most, particularly with small, feisty dogs and rescues still settling into a routine. Reviewers also point to clear communication either side of the appointment and to knowledgeable answers when they ask about their dog's coat. Taken together the picture is of a friendly, low-drama experience where the dogs are treated kindly and the cut stays consistent from visit to visit. It suits small dogs who find grooming stressful, recently adopted dogs having their first proper groom, and owners looking for one groomer to stay with.
