Auntie Briars Grooming and Play Days is a dog grooming and day care service at 1148 New North Road in Mount Albert, Auckland. Dogs are looked after in a large, old-fashioned home with a secure, dog-friendly garden. The business is run by Auntie Briar and her daughter Alix, and the website says every dog is treated as one of the family.
Dogs can have free-range playtime for a full day or just while they are being groomed. A quiet, secure area is kept for shy dogs. Grooming is offered to breed standard, puppy and freestyle, with a full clip and hand-scissored finish, and includes a shampoo, conditioning treatment, blow dry, ear cleaning and nail care. Cuddles are included. Visitors are welcome to look around the facility by arrangement.
