Peanut's Pet Palace

Peanut's Pet Palace is a dog grooming salon on Olympic Lane in Pelican Waters, on the southern Sunshine Coast. The business was started in memory of a companion dog named Peanut, and that personal beginning shapes how it presents itself: dogs are looked after with love and care, and the aim is for every dog to leave feeling and looking like royalty.

The work centres on dogs rather than a broad pet mix, with grooming and wash-and-dry options organised by size and coat type, from small short-haired dogs through to larger long-coated breeds up to around twenty kilograms. Nail trimming and a doggy manicure round out the menu for smaller and medium dogs. Grooming runs by appointment, arranged directly by phone, email or Facebook, which keeps the salon a calmer, one-dog-at-a-time kind of place rather than a busy walk-in shopfront.

For local owners after a tidy, attentive groom from someone who treats the dog as part of the family, Peanut's Pet Palace is a small Pelican Waters operation built around that idea.
