Hills Grooming and Georgie's Play Park

Hills Grooming and Georgie's Play Park is a dog and cat grooming salon in Bella Vista, in Sydney's Hills District, run by a team with more than 20 years of combined grooming and veterinary nursing experience. The salon pairs full grooming with an attached daycare, summed up by its own line: come for the groom, stay for the play.

Dogs are groomed in an air-conditioned, stress-free salon, with everything from basic summer styling and full breed cuts through to double-coat spitz maintenance, de-shedding, de-matting and blow-drying. Cats are handled separately in a cat-only salon where no dogs are allowed and grooming is done one cat at a time, with the coat customised to each animal through options like the Tiger, Lion and hygiene grooms. The Stay and Play park gives fully vaccinated, well-socialised dogs a supervised space to exercise and mix with other dogs, watched over by trained staff.

With no sedation used and any pet needing veterinary attention referred on to Sydney Animal Hospitals, the focus stays on calm, individual care for both dogs and cats.
