About Kilsyth Dog Grooming
Kilsyth Dog Grooming is a one-on-one dog grooming salon on Collins Place in Kilsyth, in Melbourne's outer east. Run by principal groomer Jessica, who trained at the Australian Dog Grooming School, it is built around the idea that every dog gets undivided attention rather than being processed through a production line.
The approach is unhurried and dog-led. The salon makes a point of never rushing a groom, pausing for a cuddle when a dog needs one, and treating each pet as the fur-baby it is. Dogs that find grooming stressful are eased in with gentle handling, time to get used to the equipment, and positive reinforcement, which makes the space well suited to nervous dogs and to puppies starting out once they are fully vaccinated. The service menu spans simple nail trims through to full clips and styled finishes, with dedicated de-shedding work for double-coated breeds such as Labradors, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers and Huskies.
For owners around Kilsyth who want a calm, personal grooming experience with one familiar groomer from start to finish, this is a small salon set up to deliver exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my dog groomed?
Every 6-8 weeks is a good general guide, though it varies with breed, coat length, home brushing and lifestyle. Longer-haired dogs need more frequent maintenance, short-haired dogs need a monthly bath or whenever visibly dirty, and double-coated breeds benefit from deshedding, especially during seasonal coat blows in autumn and spring.
What age can my puppy start grooming?
Puppies can begin professional grooming as soon as they are fully vaccinated, typically after 12 weeks. Introducing grooming early is encouraged.
How should I prepare my dog for an appointment?
Walk your dog beforehand so they can relieve themselves and burn off some energy, and avoid feeding them for three hours prior to reduce the chance of a mid-groom toilet break.
What happens if my dog's coat is matted or knotty?
De-matting is limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. Severe matting may need shaving, with blending used to disguise the area where possible, and pelted coats with large tightly matted sections must be shaved as they pose a health risk. Additional fees of $10-$25 may apply for matted or pelted coats.
Can you groom my dog if it gets aggressive?
It depends on the level of aggression. Extremely aggressive dogs may require veterinary sedation, so please get in touch for an individual assessment.
Should double-coated dogs be shaved?
Shaving is discouraged because it does not reduce shedding length, interferes with natural temperature regulation, risks sunburn and can cause patchy regrowth. Regular de-shedding is recommended instead.
Do you offer anal gland expression?
No, this service is not offered. It is best to consult a veterinarian to determine the cause and how to manage it.
