Suburban Dog Grooming

Suburban Dog Grooming is a small owner-run grooming service in Kedron, on Brisbane's northside, where Kylie handles the dogs herself. The striking thing in the feedback is longevity — clients write about three years, and in one case many years, of bringing the same dogs back, and a couple mention she has also minded their dogs overnight while they were away.

Patient, gentle and kind are the words that recur. Owners describe dogs that are pleased to arrive and come home looking sharp, among them a labradoodle, a Griffon and a fourteen-year-old who needed an unhurried hand. Consistency is rated as highly as the finish: reviewers say the standard does not slip between visits, and more than one notes the prices are reasonable for the care involved. It reads as a good fit for curly and doodle coats, for older dogs who need time and calm, and for owners looking for one groomer to stay with rather than shop around.
