Jim’s dog wash and grooming

Jim's Dog Wash and Grooming is the local arm of the long-running Jim's Group brand, serving Hillside and the wider Melton City area as a mobile service that comes to the customer's home. Rather than asking pets into a salon, a fully equipped trailer pulls up to the door, with a temperature-controlled warm-water hydrobath at its centre for washing right down through the coat using shampoos and conditioners.

The work spans more than a wash. Groomers handle clipping and styling, de-shedding, nail clipping, ear cleaning, coat stripping, and flea and tick treatment, and they look after cats as well as dogs. The framing throughout is gentle and unhurried: there is particular care taken with anxious dogs, who are worked with slowly to keep them comfortable, and a focus on easing puppies into the grooming routine for the first time. Staff across the Jim's network are police-checked and insured, which suits owners who want a known, accountable face arriving at home.

For households around Hillside who would rather skip the drive and the waiting room, this is a grooming option built around convenience and a calm, at-home pace.
