About Ellen's Dog Studio
Panda Pet Grooming, formerly Ellen's Dog Studio, is a dog grooming salon on Springvale Road in Forest Hill, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. The salon focuses entirely on dogs, working through a clear menu of bath, tidy, full groom, de-shed and breed or style grooms across sizes from small companions up to giant breeds.
The approach is methodical rather than rushed: every dog receives two shampoos, and owners are asked to allow two to three hours per visit, with an SMS sent when their dog is ready for pickup. Long-coated breeds such as Samoyeds and Spitzes are part of the regular work, and a long list of add-ons covers nails, hygiene tidies, ear plucking, paw pad shaves and matting work. Puppies are welcome once they meet the salon's vaccination requirements, with proof of a C5 vaccination needed for dogs under six months.
Between booked grooms, walk-ins are accepted for the quick add-on services, making it a practical local option for owners who want a tidy-up without a full appointment.
