The Pampery - Dog Groomer

The Pampery is a dog grooming salon in North Lakes, run by Giuliana, who most of her regulars call Gee. De-shedding is the standout service in its reviews: a corgi booked in every two months for a de-shed treatment, and two border collies in for a de-shed and trim, with owners saying the reduction in shedding lasts for weeks afterwards. The salon itself gets remarked on as well, with first-time visitors describing a clean, well-organised set-up that impressed them.

Feedback also points to how much explanation comes with the groom. Owners describe getting notes on their dog's coat, health and behaviour, along with practical advice, and one reviewer was shown the pile of loose coat that had been brushed out. Puppies feature often too, including a cavoodle pup and a young dog whose owner says she is always content afterwards, and finishing touches such as a bow tie get a mention. It suits heavy-shedding double-coated breeds and puppies having a first salon experience.
