Wash My Dirty Dog Grooming

Wash My Dirty Dog Grooming operates out of Mitchelton, in Brisbane's north-west, with Wanda doing the grooming. The clientele skews heavily towards oodle crosses, and coat management is what reviewers rate her for: labradoodle owners describe fast-growing, easily matted coats brought back under control, cuts that hold their shape between visits, and practical advice on caring for the coat at home — which several first-time dog owners say made a real difference. Grooming takes place in an outdoor set-up that customers describe as pleasant, and bookings come with reminders.

The other recurring theme is time taken with dogs who need it. One anxious dog with an unusual coat is groomed slowly, with behavioural tips passed on to the owner for handling him at home; another dog was settled enough to fall asleep mid-groom. Styling instructions are followed and discussed, and clients of two and three years say the results still draw compliments. It suits doodle and oodle crosses, anxious dogs, and owners after coat advice as much as a haircut.
