Joypet - Cat/Dog Grooming Salon

Joypet is a cat and dog grooming salon tucked into Shop 7 on Lavelle Street in Nerang, on the Gold Coast. It is built around a single idea: one pet, one groomer, one calm room at a time. Sessions are run by Joyce, a groomer with more than ten years behind the table who is certified in Pet First Aid.

The studio works on a cage-free, home-like model, with pets settling on orthopedic beds in an open lounge rather than waiting in crates. Calming music, lavender diffusers and slow introductions are part of the routine, which makes the salon a natural fit for nervous dogs, rescues, senior pets and puppies still learning what grooming is about. Cats are handled separately, always groomed in a quiet room away from dogs, with gentle one-on-one care aimed at keeping mats, hairballs and dander in check. No sedatives are used; low-stress handling does the work instead.

The full menu runs from warm baths and blow-dries through scissor-finished style grooms, short summer cuts and deshedding treatments, with add-ons available to round out a visit. For anyone whose pet finds a busy salon overwhelming, the unhurried, single-client approach is the point.
