Orewa Mutt Groomers is a dog grooming business on the estuary, on the main road at 300 Hibiscus Coast Highway in Orewa. The website says it specialises in all grooms and all breeds. The owner, Fiona, is a fully qualified groomer who works mainly with small and medium dogs and also grooms larger ones. Full grooms, which include a wash, dry, coat, face, nails and sanitary, start at $110 for small dogs up to 10 kilograms, $118 for medium dogs up to 20 kilograms, and $160 for large long-coated dogs, as at 2026. Face tidies from $55, and a bath and towel dry for small dogs from $30, as at 2026. Gold card holders get $5 off full grooms. Matted coats cost extra, and late pick-ups incur a charge, the website says.
Customers mention Fiona's gentle handling most often. One says a mini schnauzer was eased into grooming and now loves going. Another took a four-month-old puppy for its first groom, and was reassured as well. A customer whose dog can be difficult says Fiona handled her beautifully, and another says an anxious dog was put at ease and came out happy. Nails are mentioned often too. Our pick in Orewa for a puppy's first groom, or a nervous dog.
