Paradise Pet Retreat

Paradise Pet Retreat is a family-run pet care property at Birnam, on the Old Goombungee Road just outside Toowoomba, where dog grooming sits alongside boarding, daycare and training on a large rural acreage with a natural creek. The grooming side is a service in its own right, run by head groomer Chloe, and built around a menu that runs from a deluxe hydrobath through to full breed-specific style clips.

The approach leans into the retreat setting. Every wash uses all-natural botanical spa products, and dogs can be booked in for a "Pamper & Play" visit that pairs the groom with supervised playtime, a solo session or an adventure walk while they are on site. Services are sized from small dogs right through to giant breeds and heavy coats, with de-shedding and undercoat work for double-coated dogs and scissor finishing for tidier styles. Drop-offs and pick-ups run to set weekday windows, so it suits owners who can plan a grooming day rather than a quick walk-in.

For Toowoomba and Darling Downs dog owners after a calm, paddock-side grooming day with natural products, it is a considered alternative to a strip-mall salon.
