Live Love Bark - Mobile & Salon Dog Grooming

Live Love Bark is Melissa's dog grooming business at Evanston, just south of Gawler on Adelaide's northern edge, working from a salon as well as mobile. Breed knowledge is what customers name first. One owner who had tried several groomers after moving to Adelaide, including one who damaged a double coat, credits Mel with bringing that coat back into proper condition. A border collie owner describes a full show-standard groom and wash, and cavoodles turn up repeatedly, along with mixed breeds handled just as confidently.

The other consistent thread is temperament and teaching. Owners describe a calm, methodical approach with dogs that make it difficult, including a puppy on its first groom who spent most of it in full piranha mode, and they come away knowing how to manage the coat at home between appointments. Attention to detail draws steady praise: neat, deliberate finishes, dogs that smell good afterwards, and clear communication either side of the appointment. It suits puppies having a first groom, double-coated and breed-standard coats, and owners who want to understand what their dog's coat actually needs.
