A dog grooming and bathing business that has worked from the Albany Veterinary Hospital on Albany Highway for twenty years, and now also works from Mangawhai. It is a member of the National Dog Groomers association and is a small family business, so a dog sees the same groomer at every visit. Clients can book a full groom, which takes one and a half to two hours, or a bath and blow dry, which takes about an hour and includes nail clipping. Dogs can stretch their legs in a fenced area after a groom. The shampoo is all natural, with sensitive-skin or medicated options on request for an extra charge. Regular clients also get free nail, face and hygiene trims between grooms.
Regular grooms (every six to eight weeks) start from $80 to $130, and casual grooms from $95 to $180, as at 2026, depending on the dog. Dematting costs $50 per 30 minutes as at 2026, with a bath and blow dry or full groom charged on top. The business says there are no shortcuts for matted coats, so regular grooming at home or with a groomer is the way to prevent them. Dogs that arrive more than 15 minutes late are not groomed, and a $60 no-show fee applies as at 2026. Bookings in Albany are by text to 021 288 3769, and Mangawhai bookings go to 021 161 1117.
