The Dog Emporium

The Dog Emporium in Broadbeach Waters is described by its customers as a day care first, with grooming and regular baths running alongside. Reviewers talk about dogs that are too excited to say goodbye at drop-off, half-day options for owners working from home, park walks and swims, and weekly baths as part of a routine. One customer relocating a dog overseas credits the team with fitting in a groom at short notice when nowhere else on the coast had space.

Safety and staffing are the qualities that come up most. Several people mention enough handlers on the floor to manage play and behaviour, a clean and well fitted-out space, and staff who pass on anything they have noticed at pick-up. Dogs are consistently described as coming home happily worn out. Cost is described as reasonable for the level of care, with deals available across multiple visits. It suits owners who want socialisation and supervision as much as a bath and tidy-up, particularly younger dogs needing an outlet midweek.
