Tender Loving Care Dog Grooming

Tender Loving Care Dog Grooming works out of Kardinya in Perth's City of Melville, and several of its reviewers count their time here in years rather than visits. Tracey and her team do the grooming. The trims themselves draw steady praise — a toy poodle owner of four years describes the finish as immaculate every time — and the space is described as roomy, with enough room for the dogs to be comfortable rather than stacked up waiting.

The thread running strongest through feedback is temperament. Owners of nervous, timid and rescue dogs write about staff who know exactly how to keep a dog calm and stop it bolting, and one client's cranky older dog will not tolerate being handled by anyone else, to the point that his owner cannot pull a prickle off him at home. Dogs are reported as leaving happy and tired rather than rattled, and more than one owner mentions a dog that now looks forward to grooming after previously dreading it. A good fit for anxious dogs, older dogs and long-standing regulars.
