Talk of The Tail Dog Grooming

Talk of The Tail is an independent dog grooming salon on Charles Street in Putney, on the Ryde peninsula in Sydney's inner west. It is run by Giuliana, a groomer with more than fifteen years behind the clippers and a background in veterinary nursing that shapes a careful, safety-first approach to every dog in her care.

The salon runs as an appointment-only drop-off service from Tuesday to Saturday, which keeps the space calm and the pace unhurried rather than crowded. Giuliana grooms with quality shampoos, conditioners and equipment so dogs leave looking and smelling fresh, and her own household of mixed-breed and small dogs informs an unfussed, patient manner that suits nervous and rescue dogs as much as confident regulars. Owners receive before-and-after photos of the groom, and she is clear about her limits, choosing not to take on double-coated breeds.

For Putney and Ryde owners who want a hands-on groomer who treats each dog as her own, this is a small, personal alternative to a busy high-street salon.
