About Tails of the Bay
Tails of the Bay is a dog grooming salon in Elizabeth Bay, set inside the Pets Point store on Elizabeth Bay Road near the roundabout at the bottom of the hill. Owned and operated by Katie Derham, it focuses on private, one-on-one grooming rather than a busy shop floor, with each appointment tailored to a dog's breed, coat type and styling needs.
The approach leans on a calm, unhurried pace. Sessions move through bath and blow-dry, mini grooms and full grooms, with breed-specific or custom finishes for dogs that need a particular look. For pets that find grooming stressful, the salon uses positive reinforcement and takes its time, and an at-home mobile option keeps anxious dogs in familiar surroundings rather than an unfamiliar room. The salon works with all breeds and sizes, and offers practical extras such as de-shedding, hygiene trims and nail clipping.
It suits owners who want considered, single-dog attention and a groomer who plans around the individual animal rather than a production line.
