HoundDog Hairdressing

HoundDog Hairdressing is a dog grooming salon in Heatley, in Townsville's western suburbs, with a steady base of repeat clients — several reviewers describe bringing the same dog back for a year or more. Feedback centres on straightforward, well-executed grooming: coats left clean and soft, and finishing details handled to request, including ear plucking and leaving eyelashes uncut where owners ask for it.

Customers regularly describe the staff as friendly and caring, and a recurring theme is how the salon handles older and nervous dogs — one owner brought in three senior Pomeranians, another an anxious older dog who settled well through the appointment. Cocker spaniels also feature in the feedback. It tends to suit owners who want to specify exactly how their dog is finished rather than take a standard cut, and those with senior pets who need a gentler pace.
