Hey Dawg Grooming Co

Hey Dawg Grooming Co is a small home-based grooming salon at Oyster Bay in the Sutherland Shire, run by Amy with her mother helping out. Cavoodles and poodles dominate the reviews, several of them long-standing regulars whose owners say the dogs get excited on the way in, and the grooming is done one dog at a time rather than in a busy shopfront.

Trust is the theme that runs through the feedback. More than one customer arrived after a poor experience elsewhere, including an owner whose poodle was frightened of groomers and lost that fear after only a few visits, and another whose nearly nine-year-old dog came home with one of the best cuts he had had in a long grooming career. Reviewers describe a calm, unrushed setting where dogs are treated like part of the household, and note that pets come home relaxed rather than rattled. It suits nervous dogs and owners who want one familiar groomer every time.
