Doggie Stylz Grooming is a pet groomer on Spur Road in Stillwater, a small coastal settlement in Rodney north of Auckland, and local dog owners have rated it a perfect 5.0 on Google.
Anyone whose dog swims knows how quickly sand, salt water and estuary mud turn a coat into a matted mess, and that is where a good groomer earns their keep: patient de-matting, a thorough bath and blow-dry, clipped nails and a close look at ears and skin, where early signs of fleas, grass seeds or lumps often show first. Regulars tend to book every six to eight weeks and keep up brushing in between, because a badly matted coat can end up needing a far shorter clip than an owner hoped for.
For Stillwater dogs coming home salty from the water or muddy from the bush tracks, having a groomer just up Spur Road is a genuinely handy thing.
