Eltham Dog Grooming

Eltham Dog Grooming is a small, personal grooming service in Eltham, on Melbourne's north-eastern fringe, and almost all of the feedback centres on one groomer, Kelsie. Reviewers describe the opposite of a production line: a single pair of hands, full grooms and clips that friends and family notice afterwards, and nail trims for dogs who find that part of the job difficult. Several owners mention that the reassurance starts at the booking call, before the dog has even arrived.

The quality customers return to most often is patience with dogs who need extra consideration. One long-standing client's elderly vizsla has his nails clipped at the boot of the car so he never has to be lifted out, and other reviewers describe a groomer who plainly enjoys the animals and takes the time to settle them. Dogs are commonly described as pleased to see her rather than reluctant. It suits senior dogs, dogs who dislike having their nails done, and owners who want the same person handling their dog at every visit.
