What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

"We've been bringing our golden retriever, Biscuit, to PawPerfect for over three years now. The team in Fitzroy always takes the time to understand exactly what we want, and Biscuit comes home looking and smelling incredible every single time."

— Sarah M., Fitzroy
★★★★★

"My Persian cat, Luna, is notoriously anxious around strangers, but the groomers at PawPerfect Brunswick are so patient and gentle. They never rush her, and she actually seems calm when I pick her up. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her coat."

— Daniel K., Brunswick
★★★★★

"I switched to PawPerfect after a bad experience elsewhere, and the difference is night and day. They spotted a small skin irritation on my cockapoo that we hadn't noticed and recommended we see our vet. That level of care is why I keep coming back."

— Michelle T., South Yarra

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my dog groomed?

Most dogs benefit from a professional grooming session every four to six weeks. However, the ideal frequency depends on your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Breeds with fast-growing or long coats — such as poodles, shih tzus, and golden retrievers — may need more frequent visits. Our groomers are happy to recommend a personalised schedule during your first appointment.

Do you groom cats as well as dogs?

Absolutely. We offer specialised grooming for cats, including bathing, deshedding, sanitary trims, nail clipping, and lion cuts. Our cat grooming stations are in a quieter area of the salon to reduce stress. All of our cat groomers have specific training in feline handling and behaviour.

What products do you use during grooming?

We exclusively use premium, pH-balanced, and hypoallergenic shampoos and conditioners that are free from parabens and harsh chemicals. If your pet has sensitive skin or allergies, please let us know and we can tailor the products used. We also offer medicated bath options upon request with a veterinary recommendation.

Does my pet need to be vaccinated before a grooming appointment?

Yes. For the safety of all animals in our care, we require that dogs be up to date on their C3 vaccination (at minimum) and that cats have current F3 vaccination. Please bring your vaccination certificate to your first visit. If you are unsure about your pet's vaccination status, check with your vet before booking.

How long does a typical grooming session take?

A Premium Bath typically takes 45 minutes to one hour, a Maintenance Trim around one hour, and a Full Styling session between one and a half to two and a half hours depending on the breed and coat condition. We never rush — our priority is making sure your pet is comfortable throughout the entire process.

Can I stay with my pet during the grooming session?

We find that most pets are calmer and more cooperative when their owner is not present, as they can pick up on your anxiety. However, you are welcome to stay in our waiting area. For first-time visitors or particularly anxious pets, we can arrange a brief settling-in period with you present before we begin the groom.
