About Once Upon a Groom

Once Upon a Groom is Leanne's grooming service at Kilsyth, in Melbourne's Yarra Ranges. What stands out in her feedback is range. Clients bring a pair of Golden Retrievers on a six-weekly cycle, a French Bulldog who is no fan of baths or having his nails done, and at least one owner rates her as the best cat groomer they have found.

Patience is the theme owners keep coming back to. Several mention that she is happy to talk through questions about coat and cut rather than rushing the handover, and that pets who do not naturally enjoy being groomed come out settled rather than rattled. The results draw steady praise too, with dogs and cats described as looking and smelling much better than when they arrived. It suits households with both cats and dogs, owners after regular upkeep rather than a one-off tidy, and pets who need things done at a gentler pace.
