Le Shaggy Chic Dog Grooming

Le Shaggy Chic Dog Grooming is a dog grooming salon at Shop 4/89 Caridean Street in Heathridge, in Perth's northern suburbs within the City of Joondalup. The salon works under a simple idea captured in its tagline, where the shaggy become chic, handling everything from a full clip to a quick wash and tidy.

The groomers take dogs of every size, from extra-small breeds like Chihuahuas through to large and giant breeds such as German Shepherds, Old English Sheepdogs and Bernese Mountain Dogs. Coat type guides the approach as much as size does. The salon is openly cautious about double-coated dogs, declining to clip breeds like Golden Retrievers, Huskies, Collies and Pomeranians unless there is a valid medical reason, and instead working to de-shed the undercoat so it can keep doing its job as natural insulation. Puppies are eased in gently through a dedicated puppy program built around desensitising young dogs to the grooming routine.

The tone throughout is warm and unfussy, signing off as Team Shaggy, which suits a neighbourhood salon that wants nervous dogs and first-time puppies to feel at ease.
