City Dogs is a dog grooming business at 15 Burgoyne Street in Grey Lynn, Auckland, in a commercial warehouse apartment site. Matt Burkhardt, a certified pet stylist, started it in 2007, and he now leads a team of four. The business offers bathing with selected quality shampoos, hair or wool clipping, blow waves, ear cleaning and pedicures. Hand-stripping is done for Border Terriers, and some breeds can be shaved, such as Cocker Spaniels, which can also keep a longer coat. Shaving is offered for seriously matted coats, and anal gland checks can be done on request.
The grooms are fitted to each dog's preferences and lifestyle rather than a breed standard. Clients come from across Auckland, and some return to Grey Lynn every six to eight weeks for a regular groom. Open Locally lists one other pet groomer within one kilometre, Scissorhounds Grey Lynn, 0.4 km away. Appointments are made by phone or text, and the shop is open from 8am until the dogs are finished.
