The Groom Planner
Size
Puppies price by patience, not kilos — short, sweet, lots of treats.
Coat
Service
Puppy coats haven't grown an undercoat yet — deshed comes with the grown-up coat.
Your groom
- Full groom · medium$120
- Curly & wool clip+$25
Total$145
Wool coats are sculpture — the extra is time, not attitude.
Real quote, no surprises — matting or heavy undercoat can add time, and we'll always call before it adds dollars. Walk-in nail trims ($20) live outside the planner: no booking needed.
The kind bit
Two promises before you book
Grooming has a couple of honest rules. We'd rather you hear them from us than learn them at pickup.
The matting promise
A matted coat gets a humane short clip-off, not a two-hour detangle — pulling knots hurts, and we don't hurt dogs. Full-groom price, no lecture, and a brushing plan for the regrow.
The double-coat promise
We don't shave double coats — a husky's coat is the air-conditioning. The deshed does the job the clippers can't: undercoat out, guard hairs intact, dog cooler for it.
Services & honest prices
Grooms from $65 — the price is the price
Every price below is the same maths the Groom Planner uses: size sets the base, the coat sets the work. No surprise add-ons at pickup.
Full groom
from $95
Everything in the wash & tidy, plus a full clip & style — to the coat, the season and your Saturday plans.
small $95 · medium $120 · large $150 · giant $185
Oodle & wool-coat grooms
from $120
A full groom plus the $25 wool-coat clip — that's the small full groom at $95 + $25, pure arithmetic. Wool coats are sculpture; the extra is time, not attitude.
+$25 on any full groom · tidies stay standard price
Deshed treatments
from $90
Wash & tidy plus the $25 deshed — $65 + $25 on a small. Undercoat out with warm water and the right rakes. We never shave a double coat.
+$25 on any groom, any size
Puppy intro grooms
$60 flat
Under 6 months. Short, sweet, lots of treats — the first groom decides the next fifty, so this one is priced by patience, not kilos.
flat $60 · any size, any coat
Walk-in nail trims
$20
No booking needed — this one lives outside the planner. Tue–Sat, five minutes, done. Bring the dog, keep the lead on.
walk-in only · while you wait
Since 2018
Your dog isn't crated for three hours waiting — we book so the table is theirs. One dog, start to finish.
Old dogs, gladly
Seniors get breaks, warm water and a non-slip mat. Arthritis doesn't book appointments; we work around it.
Anxious dogs, gently
First visits can be half-grooms on purpose — a dog that leaves calm comes back easy.
Certified & current
Groomers certified, dog first-aid current — certificates on the wall, numbers on request.

What owners say (demo reviews, written for this demonstration)
Dogs that drag their owners in
“Millie went in matted — my fault, wet winter — and the matting conversation was the kindest telling-off I've ever had. Short clip, no lecture, a brushing plan taped to the receipt.”Sarah M. · cavoodle · Morley
“One deshed and my car stopped being 40% dog by volume. They talked me out of the shave I asked for and they were right.”Dave R. · german shepherd · Bassendean
“Booked the puppy intro so Biscuit's first groom wouldn't be a drama. He now drags ME through the salon door.”Priya K. · groodle pup · Maylands
Where we are
Bayswater, and the ten minutes around it
The salon sits in Bayswater — two minutes off Guildford Road, five off the Tonkin. Most of our regulars come from the suburbs inside the orange ring, but the table doesn't check your postcode.
Street parking at the door, and a shaded tie-up rail if you're early.

Questions we actually get
FAQ
Size sets the base, the coat sets the work. A wash & tidy runs $65 (small) to $125 (giant); full grooms $95 to $185. Curly & wool coats add $25 to a full groom, and the deshed treatment is $25 on anything. So the whole menu sits between a $65 small tidy and a $235 giant wool full groom with deshed — the planner up top does the same maths live.
Honestly: 90 minutes to two and a half hours, by coat. A short-coat tidy is the quick end; a big wool coat in full style is the long end. Because we book one dog at a time, that's your dog's whole slot — not three hours in a crate around a 40-minute groom.
If the coat is matted through, yes — a humane short clip-off, not a two-hour detangle. Pulling knots hurts, and we don't hurt dogs. It's full-groom price, there's no lecture, and you leave with a brushing plan for the regrow. Double coats are different: those we never shave — the deshed does the job the clippers can't.
Yes — with adjustments. Anxious dogs can have a deliberate half-groom first visit, so the salon becomes a place they leave calm. Seniors get breaks, warm water and a non-slip mat, and we'll work around stiff hips rather than through them. Tell us in the booking notes and we'll plan the slot for it.
Every 4–8 weeks, by coat. Wool and curly coats sit at the 4–6 week end or they mat; double coats do best with a deshed each season change; short coats can stretch to 8. If you're six weeks past due, you're our favourite kind of booking — just come in.
The first ten minutes, gladly — then, honestly, most dogs do better without their audience. They watch the door instead of the groomer. There's good coffee two doors down; we'll text you when the blow-dry starts.
