The grooms

Three grooms, fitted to the coat.

Every groom starts with a hydrobath and a proper blow dry, and every one finishes with nails clipped and ears cleaned. What happens in between depends on your dog: a thorough de-shed for the double coats, a tidy for the fluffy ones, or a full body clip.

Prices vary with the dog, and customers keep telling us it’s good value: “pricing was excellent”, “the pricing was very fair”.

Piles of deshedded fur around the grooming table after Rider’s groom

That’s all Rider.

Regulars

Meet Rider. He comes in once a month.

See all that fur on the floor? That’s just some of the fluff we deshedded from this handsome big boy. Imagine what his humans would be dealing with at home without a regular grooming schedule.

You can set up recurring appointments too. It keeps your pup feeling fresh and saves your vacuum cleaner from working overtime.

  • Call or text Warren on 0475 761 737 to set up a regular spot.
  • A reminder text 24 hours before every appointment.
  • Easy to move change the time straight from the link in the text if the day no longer suits.

On the shelves

Our own shampoo, with our name on the label.

The Doggie Den has its own range, bottled under our own label, so the coat that leaves the grooming table can stay that way at home:

  • Gentle Everyday Shampoo
  • Everyday Fresh Shampoo
  • Wicked White & Stain Shampoo
  • White & Bright Everyday Conditioner

“Thoroughly wet dog with lukewarm water, apply shampoo and work into a lather and massage through coat. Let sit then rinse thoroughly.”

The directions on every bottle

The shelves have also carried grooming and hygiene products, treats, leads and toys. And if what you want isn’t in store, ask. As one customer put it, “they will get it for you.”

Shora had a grooming session and came out so white and smelling beautiful. Warren and Brayden are always so helpful and if what you want is not in store they will get it for you. Great friendly service and very knowledgeable.

The Doggie Den replied: Thanks Lesley for the great review. Shora was an absolute pleasure to groom!

About the Den

Groomed by Warren.

Ask anyone who has booked in and they’ll mention Warren by name. It shows in the reviews: Bingo, who isn’t the easiest dog to manage, Ginger, who loves her time here, Shora, who came out “so white and smelling beautiful”, and a pair of huskies who went home “so clean and beautiful”.

You might remember us as The Doggie Den Bairnsdale. It’s the same Den, now at 165 Swan Reach Road, grooming for dogs from Lakes Entrance to Lindenow.
