Our neighbour uses HydroDog Surrey Downs, and they love it. We're going to get them out to do Akira when it's a little warmer.

ETA: I missed the Strathalbyn bit, but I'm sure they've got franchises around that area.

I know there's an aussie pooch mobile lady who does around the Murray Bridge area & does other towns also, not sure about Strath but worth asking

[Guest DBT]

does it have to be mobile ?? I know a lady who is opening up at home in Strath as of approx now (Aug 1st) Canine Cottage Grooming. She is a groomer of many years experience .

I'll see if i can get contact details .....

Depend what you want doing. Some just wash & thats it so if you want drying, brushing out, clipping, nails etc you have to ask if they do it first.

I always advise puppy buyers to get a mobile & stay with the dog & watch. To stop the session if they don't like the handling or

look like they are making a mess & don't know what they are doing.

HydroDog Surrey Downs

Yes I noticed them and they look good

aussie pooch are at Greenwith after checking th white pages , might be a bit of a treck for them - worth a call also

DBT - If you could pm the info or post here would appreciate the info

little Maltese which needs a wash and clip ( apparently has some small matts )

new owner has just got the dog today ( 2 years old )

so a good groomer who can also give tips and education for the new owner on things like nails, ear care , what type of brushes to use etc

I think a professional groomer would be a good way to educate in the correct grooming

Christina I agree , I prefer to have my mobile groomer come here and she is great , But too far away for Strath

I had one once that was way too rough even in front of me , so he was told dont bother comeing back

Thanks for the replies

I also live in Strathalbyn and will be watching this thread in anticipation. I normally take Oscar to Mt Barker Pet n Pedigree, but a mobile wash would be excellent.

We had one out once when we were living in Strath, but for the life of me I can't remember what she was called ! (sorry)

I did have her card, but since moving have lost lots of stuff

If I remember, I will come back and let you know Tara.

What about looking in the Argus, or courier ? not that you will know what they are personally like
