Sally's Pet Dog Grooming

Sally's Pet Dog Grooming is a salon at Calamvale in Brisbane's south, and most of its feedback comes from owners of small and curly-coated dogs — cavoodles, terriers and the like. Clients describe a clean, fresh-smelling salon and a booking process that runs on confirmations and a check-in before the appointment, with dogs handed back tidy and, in the case of one enthusiastically muddy Jack Russell, a great deal cleaner than they arrived.

Patience with first-timers is the recurring theme. Several owners booked their puppy's first full groom here and mention Sally taking the time to answer a long list of questions and working slowly with dogs that need it, including careful attention to a cavoodle with badly built-up ear wax. Pricing is described by regulars as fair for the standard of the work. It suits puppies, small breeds and owners who want to be kept in the loop from booking through to pick-up.
