International Dog Grooming Salon

International Dog Grooming Salon sits in Hamilton Hill, in Perth's southern suburbs, where Ella and Maya have been clipping local dogs for more than two decades. Its reputation, going by the reviews, is built largely on schnauzers: several households describe bringing successive miniature schnauzers here across twenty-plus years, with one long-standing client also naming an Australian silky terrier groomed by the same pair. Reviewers say the finish is sharp enough that people stop them in the street to ask where the dog was groomed, and one mentions a vet remarking on the quality of the work.

Consistency and warmth are the qualities customers return to. Dogs are described as excited to arrive, greeted with cuddles, and coming home looking transformed. Prices come up repeatedly as reasonable, though no reviewer states a figure. It suits owners of wire-coated and hand-clipped breeds who want a groomer that knows the coat, and anyone after a long relationship with the same two people rather than a rotating roster.
