Pets Rule Grooming

Pets Rule Grooming is a dog grooming service in Frankston, on Melbourne's south-eastern bayside, where the groomer customers name is Maree. A good share of its feedback comes from owners of older and more sensitive dogs: a fifteen-year-old with a long, partly matted face coat and overgrown nails, and an eleven-year-old rescue shih tzu who is easily unsettled. Those owners single out the time taken to answer questions and talk through concerns before anything starts.

Calm is the word that keeps surfacing. Reviewers describe a quiet setting where a dog prone to stress stayed relaxed, and a pace that does not hurry a frail dog through the appointment. Flexibility comes up almost as often, with several mentioning appointments shifted around without fuss. The results are described as neat and natural rather than shorn back, which mattered to one owner who had been disappointed by heavy-handed clips elsewhere. Best suited to senior dogs, nervous rescues and small coated breeds.
