GroomShed is a home-based dog grooming studio in Berryfields, Richmond, at 110 Berryfield Drive. The website says it takes bookings for small dogs only, and that each dog has a one-to-one appointment with no other dogs in the room. A groom starts with a brush and comb through, and a check of the skin, then a warm bath with at least two shampoo sessions and conditioner, careful ear and eye cleaning, a blow dry, a nail clip and the haircut. A full body haircut takes two to three hours, and the website recommends one every six to eight weeks. Premium, natural products are used.
Prices on the website, as at 2026, are $70 for a tidy-up between grooms with no body haircut, $50 an hour for de-shedding double coats, and about $100 for a puppy's first cut across two or three appointments within a month. Matted dogs may attract an extra charge, and so may a dog that has not been groomed for more than eight weeks. Bookings can be made online, or by text or phone, and the website asks for 48 hours' notice to change a booking. Customers praise the schnauzer cuts, and say the groomer is kind, skilled and patient, even with a dog that had been hard to groom before. Our pick in Richmond for a small dog that needs patient, one-to-one grooming.
