Looking For A Groomer In Geelong

[KismetKat]

My sister has recently moved to Geelong and is in need of groomer (not a "mobile" one) in the area. She's in West Geelong.

Her dog is a rescue. He's a maltese cross of some sort. He has more issues than you can poke a stick at - including doors, wheels of any kind, and the elderly! Jeesh. Since the move (he's still not recovered) he's added trucks to the list.

With grooming he IS used to being dropped off and kept in a crate/cage. He is very sensitive about his feet and used to being 'muzzled' by use of a stocking when his feet are done.

He's a sweet little guy really (as long as you aren't 'elderly' according to his definition - whatever that is - his last groomer was in her 70's but by his standards not 'elderly" even tho people of similar age were).

So can anyone recommend a good patient groomer in the area or is there one on this board happy to take on a little dog that needs some special treatment??

a bump for my sister.

and OK - how about I ask 'can anyone recommend a groomer for a "snappy little bugger"!

If he doesn't require much work, Narelle at Roll Over Rover does a good basic job. She's a chow chow breeder so is used to 'difficult' coats. She also put up with my first wheaten who had to have three people hold him to do his feet. She has a bundle of crates. Roll Over Rover is in Grovedale, which isn't close to West but your sister could always double up with a buy at Merle's cakes which is a few shops down from Roll Over Rover.

Thanks Sheriden - I'll let her know. I don't think he needs a lot of work - just the occassional stripping out.
