Wigglebum Grooming

Wigglebum Grooming is a one-groomer business at Marks Point on Lake Macquarie, run by Peleena. Coat work is what clients single out first. Owners of double-coated spitz breeds describe long, methodical sessions clearing out undercoat during a heavy coat drop, done with the gentlest tools she can use rather than the fastest, and they credit her with knowing how those coats are meant to be handled. Grooms are cut to the owner's brief, and repeat visits are the norm in the feedback.

The other consistent thread is how she works with dogs that find grooming difficult. A Shar Pei with a history that makes her wary of being touched by anyone but her owner, and a nearly fourteen-year-old papillon who is blind and deaf and reads the world through touch, are both described as coming through calmly. Reviewers use words like patient, sensitive and safe more than they talk about the haircut itself. It suits nervous dogs, elderly dogs, and heavy shedders whose undercoat needs real time.
