About Poppet Academy

Poppet Academy is a pet grooming service operating in Blackburn, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, with its salon at 386 Middleborough Rd. The business also runs a second location in Glen Huntly, so dog owners across the city have a couple of options for booking.

The focus is on hands-on coat care, including de-matting and the removal of stubborn knots that brushing alone cannot shift. The team sets clear expectations around the grooming process, with policies covering drop-off and pick-up timing and a separate approach for pets that are harder to handle, where extra time and care are factored in. That framing suggests a practical, methodical salon that would suit owners whose dogs need patient handling or whose coats have been left to tangle between grooms.

Bookings are taken online, and the salon runs a standing offer for new members.
