Pupstars Daycare And Grooming Trinity Beach

Pupstars Daycare and Grooming runs a full-service grooming salon at the corner of Aropa Street and Cook Highway in Trinity Beach, one of two Pupstars locations serving the wider Cairns region. Alongside the salon work it offers doggy daycare and dog hydrotherapy, which it describes as the only hydrotherapy service for dogs in Cairns, run from a flotation tank with custom-made flotation devices to support pets recovering from surgery or living with arthritis.

The grooming side covers everything from bathing and trimming through to full coat care, tailored to each dog's breed, coat type and style preferences. The team works with stress-free techniques meant to keep anxious, senior and sensitive dogs comfortable, and the groomers are trained in animal behaviour and handling. Cats are welcome too, with a sedation-free approach led by a groomer who brings veterinary nursing experience to working with more particular feline temperaments. Pupstars frames itself less as a salon and more as a family that cares about pets, aiming to be a dog's home away from home.

Led by managing director Rachel Popp and a small team of groomers and daycare attendants, the business suits Cairns locals and visiting travellers alike who want grooming, daycare or recovery support in one calm setting.
