Forest Furry Friends Dog Grooming

Forest Furry Friends is a dog grooming, doggy daycare and dog sitting service on Starkey Street in Forestville, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. It is run by a hands-on owner whose own miniature cavoodle and toy poodle clearly inform the work, with cavoodle clips a particular focus alongside breed style cuts, low maintenance clips and tidy-up hygiene grooms.

The approach leans on comfort and gentle socialisation rather than rushing dogs through. New dogs go through a two-hour trial before they are taken on, giving each pet time to settle and grow curious enough to venture away from their owner and spend time around other dogs. Grooms can be customised to what a dog and its owner actually need, and the business is upfront that matted or knotted coats can be distressing and may attract an extra charge, encouraging regular brushing for more flexibility in styling.

For Northern Beaches owners who want their dog looked after by someone who treats it like one of her own furbabies, it is a small, personal setup with daycare and pick-up and drop-off available too.
