The Fur factory

The Fur Factory is a dog grooming salon at Coombabah on the northern Gold Coast, working mostly with dogs booked in for a wash, blow-dry and full clip. Its reviews lean on two things in particular: the conversation that happens before the clippers come out, and how first-timers and nervous dogs are handled. Several owners mention booking online rather than ringing through, and describe being asked to talk through exactly what they want done.

A recurring theme in feedback is the calm kept around dogs that find grooming hard. One owner whose dog panics at the blow dryer was talked through how that would be managed, then collected both dogs asleep on the floor at pick-up. Puppies in for a first groom feature just as often, coming home settled and cut the way their owners asked for. It suits nervous dogs, puppies at their first appointment, and owners who like to book without phoning.
