About Shaggy Babies

Shaggy Babies is a dog grooming salon on Military Road in Neutral Bay, working out of a cage-free space inside the DoggieLove day care on Sydney's Lower North Shore. Grooming here is run by Zuzana, who treats coat care as part of a dog's health and comfort rather than appearance alone, and who built the salon around a gentle, one-on-one approach.

The room is set up for dogs to settle without the stress of crates or a crowded floor, and the gentle handling style is aimed squarely at pets who find grooming overwhelming. All breeds and sizes are welcome, from a quick spa wash and blow dry to a full grooming experience, and Zuzana's creative side comes through in breed-specific cuts, playful styling and safe vibrant colour for owners after something a little different. Only high-quality, organic and natural products are used, chosen to keep skin and coats calm.

It suits Lower North Shore dog owners who want unhurried, individual attention rather than a production-line wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grooming services does Shaggy Babies offer?

Shaggy Babies offers a range of services including full grooming experiences for all sizes, creative styling, spa wash and blow dry, de-shedding treatments, teeth brushing, and nail, paws and hygiene care.

What products do you use during grooming?

Only high-quality, organic and natural products are used, selected to avoid irritation or allergic reactions and to keep a pet's skin and coat healthy.

How long does a grooming session take?

A typical session ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the service chosen and the pet's needs. Matted hair or more intricate styles may require additional time.

Can I stay with my dog during grooming?

Owners are welcome to stay, but dogs are often more relaxed when owners are not present, which helps keep the grooming calm and efficient.

How do you handle anxious or aggressive dogs?

A gentle approach is used to help anxious pets feel comfortable, and pets are never sedated. For safety, aggressive dogs must wear a muzzle, and if a dog shows aggression grooming is stopped and the owner is contacted for collection, with the full grooming cost still applicable.

How often should my dog be groomed?

Frequency depends on the breed, lifestyle and coat type. A tailored grooming schedule is discussed during the pet's initial consultation.

Where is Shaggy Babies located?

Shaggy Babies is at 71 Military Road, Neutral Bay NSW 2089, inside DoggieLove day care, servicing the Lower North Shore from Mosman to Crows Nest. It is open Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and closed Monday and Sunday.
