Handsome Pooch

Handsome Pooch is a pet grooming salon in Ramsgate, in Sydney's south near Ramsgate Beach and Sans Souci. The salon describes itself simply as a place that provides professional grooming for cats and dogs, alongside a pet resort for boarding and doggie day care.

The focus is everyday pet care rather than show styling: washing, bathing, clipping and nail trimming for the household dog or cat. Smaller companion dogs are clearly part of the regular roster, and the salon grooms cats as well as dogs, which not every grooming room takes on. The wider business also keeps a gallery of its work and a pet resort side for owners who need somewhere for their pet to stay.

For locals around Ramsgate and the bayside suburbs, it reads as a straightforward neighbourhood salon handling the bath, clip and tidy-up that keeps a pet comfortable between visits.
