Cheeky Pups Dog Grooming is a one-on-one dog grooming studio at 13 Travers Place in Northpark, Auckland. The owner trained as a dog groomer under a master groomer in Auckland. The studio also makes cakes for dogs and their owners, called pupcakes. We hear the cake orders are temporarily paused because of demand for grooming, so check the website for updates. The owner works in a clean, modern space, and describes the service as gentle, patient and unhurried.
A full groom includes a skin check, a careful brush-out, shampoo twice in a suitable product, a massage after rinsing, drying, nail trimming, and trimming of the fur between the paw pads and around the sanitary areas. Customers say the grooms are gentle, and that the owner has made nervous dogs comfortable. One customer's dog who needed anxiety medication for grooming had its first full groom without it, and another says the dog came home happy and looking well. Several praise the quiet location and the patient, professional care. Customers say the owner responds quickly. The website says cakes need at least three working days' notice. For a small dog that needs calm, one-on-one grooming in Northpark, the studio offers that focus.
