Happy Dog Grooming

Happy Dog Grooming is a long-established salon in Dianella, in Perth's City of Stirling, and its reviews are unusual for how far back they reach. Several customers describe more than a decade of appointments, with whole families sending their dogs to the same team. That tenure is really the salon's defining feature — owners keep booking because the standard of the groom does not drift from one visit to the next.

The other theme that recurs is listening. Owners describe asking for something particular — a length kept, a tidy rather than a full clip-out — and having it taken on board rather than overridden, which more than one contrasts with salons they left behind. Dogs are said to arrive keen and come home lighter, often with a bow or bandana added on the way out. It suits owners on a regular grooming cycle, thick-coated dogs due for a proper clip, and anyone after a salon to settle with for the long run.
