Coco came to me as a referral when she was a puppy in 2022. She’s in every eight weeks, might not enjoy the whole process but never complains

DOGAWASH HOME CARE MATTED DOGS

You might be thinking your helping your dog by letting it grow its coat out for the winter (especially if it's an oodle or Maltese mix) or think your dog looks good fluffy but if your not brushing, combing, washing and blow drying your doing more harm then good. In some cases your dog looks lovely and fluffy, however, the fur based at skin level is matted. In many cases matting becomes so bad that the back legs, tail and ge****ls all get caught up in one giant knot causing distress to your dog. Knots become abundant on their legs and paws and in most cases their faces are an absolute mess. If you wash your dog while it’s like this, the knots only get tighter and pull the skin. This means clipping can be stressful for the dog and groomer, but it’s essential for the dogs well being.

If you look after your dog and have it groomed regularly it's coat can be maintained at a certain length and it won't be in pain due to knots. Don’t expect matting to be combed out, it can’t be and yes your dog will have a short haircut but that’s only because the groomer is doing the most humane thing they can do for your dog.

No dog should suffer through this. Be a responsible owner! Don’t blame the groomer for your dogs short haircut, we don’t have a magic wand when they are matted.

Call Dogawash Home Care if you have a small or a small-medium dog on 0419446997 for an appointment at the home salon at 4/18 Owen Park Road, Bellambi. But be prepared if your dog is matted as a matting fee will apply

After recently celebrating his first birthday, Harvey was back for a groom with mum by his side. He may not be interested in having his face groomed, but he likes to lay around and hand out kisses

DOGAWASH HOME CARE SALON

DOGAWASH caters for small to small-medium dogs in a safe and secure environment. It is not a day care centre and does not cater for dogs that bite, nip, growl or have fleas.

Dogawash washes and grooms dogs and does not double book appointments. When your dog is nearly ready, you will receive a message advising it’s time to pick up your dog. Dogawash is not a daycare centre.

Dogawash works on one dog at a time. It does not have dogs running around as 100% attention is given to your dog. When you work with geriatrics, anxiety, scared, crazy or even unsocialised dogs you can’t afford mixing them with other dogs. If an owner is a little late for an appointment they will receive a message or call advising whether the dog will be rescheduled depending on how late they will be as late dogs affect appointments for the rest of the day. A cancellation fee may apply

Appointments are necessary, so call Melissa on 0419446997. Dogawash is open 7am Thursday to Monday at 4/18 Owen Park Road, Bellambi
