About Dogs of Melbourne

Dogs of Melbourne is a dog grooming studio on Bridge Road in Richmond, run by Conor and Rory, who started the business back in 2015 taking dogs out on adventures around the city before opening the Richmond studio. The grooming side grew out of that same idea: looking after dogs as individuals rather than running them through a production line.

The studio leans on a calm, clean environment and patience with dogs that find grooming stressful, sending texts and photos through the appointment so owners know how things are going. Grooming runs by appointment only and is built around four packages, from a light freshen-up to breed-specific scissor finishes, with a long list of add-ons for coats that need extra work. It suits everything from mixed-breed Oodles wanting a tidy clip to nervous dogs who need a gentler, slower visit.

The team is openly for all the dogs of Melbourne, and the playful, dog-first tone carries through everything they do.
