Hollywood pets

Hollywood Pets is a dog grooming salon at 291 Liverpool Street in Darlinghurst, on the eastern edge of Sydney's CBD. Led by groomer Rachel, the salon draws on more than ten years in the trade, including an earlier shop at Five Dock, and a habit of travelling overseas for advanced training to keep up with international coat-care techniques.

The work leans toward considered, hands-on coat care rather than a quick in-and-out wash. The salon specialises in show-quality Bichon Frise grooming and in looking after double-coated breeds, with bathing, de-shedding and coat maintenance tailored to each dog's lifestyle. Standard sessions run the full range from a complete groom through to a bath and brush or a faster express wash, alongside nail and paw care, de-shedding treatments and teeth brushing. The team describes itself as patient and gentle, treating each dog as it would its own.

Best suited to owners of double-coated and white fluffy breeds who want experienced, detail-focused grooming close to the city. Appointments are booked online through Square or by phone.
