The Grooming Grove is a pet groomer at 52 Artillery Drive in Papakura, south Auckland, with a 5.0 Google rating. It keeps a Facebook page at facebook.com/thegroominggrove.
A good groomer does more than make a pet look neat. They handle animals gently, notice skin problems, ear infections, matted fur or lumps and tell you if something needs a vet's attention. Before booking, ask how long appointments take, whether pets wait in cages or with the groomer, what vaccinations are required and what you should do about a nervous pet. Tell the groomer about your pet's age, health, temperament and any past bad experiences, and bring a clear idea of the style you want. Regulars brush at home between visits, book on a regular cycle so coats do not mat and check the groomer's Facebook page for before-and-after photos and booking information.
Artillery Drive is in Papakura, so this listing suits local pet owners wanting grooming close to home.
