Pancakes Mobile Dog Grooming Studio

Pancakes Mobile Dog Grooming Studio is Erin's mobile grooming set-up, based at Halls Head and working around Mandurah. The most striking thing in the reviews is how long people stay: clients writing about five and six years of unbroken bookings, some with the same dog groomed from puppyhood onwards, and at least one who has since added a second puppy to the roster.

Owners describe her listening closely to how they want the coat cut, offering advice on their dog's skin and health, and continually picking up new techniques rather than settling into one way of working. Poodle crosses come up most often — cavoodles and spoodles — along with dogs that are nervous or shy about being handled, which several reviewers single out as her particular strength. There is real warmth in the feedback about the bond itself, with more than one owner describing a dog that gets thoroughly overexcited the moment Erin turns up. It suits doodle coats, puppies starting out, and dogs that don't settle in a busy salon.
