The DOGroom

The DOGroom is a small dog grooming salon in Linden Park, in Adelaide's inner east, run by a groomer regulars refer to by name as Nicky. What comes through in the feedback is less about a signature cut than about handling. One long-time client describes a French bulldog who hated being bathed taking the whole thing in her stride here; another brings a dog that gets anxious and credits the calm, unhurried approach for the difference.

The words customers reach for are kind, affectionate and gentle, and several note that their dogs seem relaxed rather than merely tolerant when they are dropped off. The grooming itself is described as neatly finished, with owners rebooking on the spot. On the strength of that evidence it suits nervous or bath-averse dogs, and owners who would rather stick with one familiar groomer than move between salons.
