Dog Grooming

Are you sick of the neighbours calling your dogs Smelly & Scruffy, time to book them in at West Coast so our Groomers can work their magic & turn them back into little Princes and Princesses again. Of course if your troops are here enjoying a holiday freshening up by our Coiffeurs before going home is recommended.

Our Grooming services include:

Clipping

For those dogs requiring regular clipping to maintain a neat and tidy coat our qualified and experienced groomers are happy to have your pet visit for a regular grooming session or fit your beloved companion in during a holiday with us.

We can offer you a complete clip (clipping coat, cleaning ears, trimming nails and shampoo and blow dry), a partial or winter clip when you just need a “little” taken off, or a breed specific groom depending on your requirements.

Any dogs just coming in for a groom will need to be delivered to our centre by 10.00am and will usually be ready to go home by 4.00pm, though you can ask for a phone call to inform you of when your pet is ready to be collected if you prefer.

All dogs being groomed while enjoying a holiday with us will usually be groomed close to their departure date, unless their coat requires clipping on arrival. If, for any reason, you need to collect your pet/s early please give us at least 3 weekdays notice to ensure your booked groom can be completed before the pets changed departure date.

In order to take advantage of our Seniors’ Discounted clipping price Seniors must show their Seniors Concession Card

Brush Out’s

All dogs benefit from a brush out to maintain a matt free coat, promote circulation and feel comfortable in their own skin, or coat as the case may be! Therefore our Animal Attendants are happy to brush out your pets as often as necessary to maintain their coat in the same matt-free condition they arrived in. Brushouts can be booked as often as needed, from daily short brushing to daily or weekly, extensive brushing.

Please note if your pets arrive with matts they may need to be cut out with scissors or our groomers may recommend a complete clip (short enough to get under the matts) depending on how badly matted your pets coat is. If you are unsure if your pet can be brushed out please ask us to assess your pets coat prior to booking this service.

Nails

All our staff are happy to trim nails for your canine companions, whether they grow faster than your pet can wear them down, get sharpened by walking on rough surfaces or you prefer not to have to give your canine companion the manicure they need.

If, for some reason, your canine companion would prefer us not to trim their nails we will inform you of the issue and remove the charge from your account.

dSHED

As we are all aware many long coated dogs require regular clipping to keep them neat, tidy and manageable in today’s busy life. However did you know that West Coast is home to dSHED, a program designed specifically for those dogs not needing regular clipping to keep that “excess hair” off your floor and furniture, instead it is left here, allowing all dog owners the joys of pet ownership without that old “hairy house” problem.

We can offer this service as a one-off treatment for those staying with us and wishing to return home without excess deadcoat, or a course to maintain your house in a hair-free state year round. Initial courses are weekly for four weeks to allow us to really get control of your hairy hounds excess coat, then we move onto maintenance courses, a block of six fortnightly maintenance courses is booked at a time.
