The Complete Guide to Dog Grooming in Brisbane
Professional grooming isn’t only about making your dog look cute.
Regular grooming can help keep their coat manageable, keep nails maintained and make grooming a familiar part of their routine.
At Oodles and More in Brisbane, we offer grooming for small and medium-sized dogs up to 20kg.
Here’s what you need to know before booking.
What happens during a professional dog groom?
The exact inclusions depend on the service, but grooming can involve:
- Bathing
- Blow-drying
- Brushing
- Nail trimming
- Coat clipping
- Scissor finishing
- Face trimming
- Hygiene trimming
- Coat assessment
What is a Tidy Up?
A Tidy Up is designed for dogs who do not need the length taken off their body or legs.
It can be useful when your dog needs areas such as the:
- Face
- Feet
- Hygiene area
freshened up between Full Grooms.
If you want the body or legs shortened, a Full Groom is the more appropriate service.
What is a Full Groom?
A Full Groom includes clipping or trimming the body and legs.
At Oodles and More, customers can choose between Short Full Groom and Long Full Groom options depending on the finish they want and the condition of their dog’s coat.
Why does coat condition matter?
Two dogs of the same breed can take very different amounts of time to groom.
One may arrive with a brushed, manageable coat.
Another may have tangles or compacted areas close to the skin.
If a coat becomes heavily matted, keeping a long style may no longer be safe or comfortable.
Regular brushing and professional maintenance generally give you more styling options.
How often should dogs be groomed?
The ideal grooming schedule depends on your dog's breed and coat type, but most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 4–6 weeks. Regular grooming helps keep the coat healthy, reduces matting, allows for early detection of skin or health concerns, and keeps your dog clean, comfortable, and looking their best.
Grooming is something dogs learn too
Grooming involves unusual sensations.
There are dryers, clippers, scissors and handling around feet and faces.
Puppies can benefit from early positive exposure so these things become familiar before they need a major haircut.
