About Rufus' Bath House
Rufus' Bath House is a dog grooming salon on Greenhill Road in Toorak Gardens, in Adelaide's leafy eastern suburbs. The salon pairs hands-on body and coat care with an understanding of dog behaviour, so each groom is built around how the dog actually responds rather than rushed through to a finish.
The space is newly renovated and kept immaculately clean, and the focus throughout is on a calm, unhurried experience. Dogs are handled gently and patiently, which makes the salon well suited to puppies starting out, to nervous dogs who find the process stressful, and to owners who simply want their dog to come home relaxed. Grooming covers everything from a warm bath and blow-dry through to full clips, breed-specific shape-ups, brush-outs and tidies, with the salon happy to recommend a routine based on a dog's breed and coat.
The team encourages early, regular visits so grooming becomes familiar rather than a surprise, and typically suggests rebooking every six to eight weeks to keep coats healthy and free of matting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my dog groomed?
It depends on your dog's breed, coat type, length and lifestyle. Dogs with longer or thicker coats generally need grooming more often, while short-coated dogs need less. Rufus' Bath House typically recommends rebooking every 6-8 weeks, and is happy to give a breed-specific recommendation.
How long does a grooming appointment take?
Appointments usually range from 1 to 3 hours, depending on your dog's breed, size and the services requested.
When can I bring my puppy in for its first groom?
The earlier the better. Exposing a puppy to the grooming process early helps ensure that, as they grow, nothing about it comes as a surprise.
What are the drop-off and pick-up times?
Drop-off times are between 8am and 12pm. Let the salon know your preferred pick-up time when booking, or they will get in touch when your dog is ready.
What does a Furcut include?
A Furcut includes a warm bath and blow-dry, a full clip and shape-up, with nails included. Pricing ranges from $110-$125 for small dogs up to $155-$180 for large dogs.
What are the benefits of regular dog grooming?
Regular grooming maintains a healthy coat and skin by removing dirt, dead hair and debris, which helps prevent matting and skin irritation. It is also a chance to check for signs of health issues such as skin infections, parasites or lumps.
