KristAl Pet Grooming is a dog and cat grooming salon at 6 Rawiri Place in Hobsonville, Auckland. It was set up in 2013 as Gucci Pooch and has moved from Kumeu to Henderson and then to its current Hobsonville salon. The salon grooms all breeds and sizes, from tidy-ups to full grooms, and it also offers dog show grooms, dental care and other extras.
Puppies under five months old get a free tidy-up groom, which the salon says is meant to help them get used to brushing, bathing and drying early. The listing also offers 10% off a first full groom. The salon says it works in a calm space, with extra care for nervous pets and first-time visitors.
The team includes the two founders, one a Master Groomer who has won awards at grooming competitions and completed the Fear Free Dog Groomer Certification, along with groomers with years of experience in dog and cat grooming. The salon says its groomers are certified and take care with every pet.
