About The Poodle Specialist

The Poodle Specialist is a grooming business in Sunshine, in Melbourne's west, and reviewers name Thanh and Triet as the people doing the work. One client has stayed with them since the business ran out of a house, starting when their Maltipoo was sixteen weeks old and continuing for three years, which says as much about the puppy work as it does about retention. The grooms described are full sessions rather than quick tidy-ups, done at a pace young dogs can handle.

Attentiveness is what sets this one apart in the feedback. Alongside the expected praise for a kind, gentle manner, an owner credits the groomers with picking up a severe ear infection and sending them away with a clear plan for what to have looked at. Another mentions the resident dog on site as part of what makes visits pleasant. It suits owners of poodle crosses and other coated small dogs, and anyone bringing a puppy in for its first proper grooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do they groom puppies?

Yes. One client started bringing their Maltipoo at sixteen weeks old, and another reviewer describes a gentle full grooming session for their puppy.

Who will be grooming the dog?

Reviewers name Thanh, who has run the business since its home-based days, and Triet, who is credited in more than one review with handling dogs carefully and explaining what they find.

Do they flag health problems they notice?

One owner says the groomers spotted a severe ear infection in their dog and gave them a detailed plan of what needed to be checked, which the owner was grateful for.

Do dogs enjoy going?

Feedback says so. One long-term client describes their Maltipoo as loving the visits, and another says their puppy had a pleasant time and they will be back.
