Hi all
I'm offering cheap dog grooming on the weekends while I learn and practice.
I have professional equipment and have done some practice with groomers but I'm not knowledgeable on breed specific grooms or styles.
$20 for a full groom of small dogs, inquire if you have a bigger dog. Includes bath, dry, brush, nail clipping and a groom. I haven't got experience doing anal glands so that won't be done.

Booking one dog per weekend for a 9am appointment on Sat or Sun. Message me if interested :)

Hi Team,

What else would you like to see the council doing for the community?
