Washing & Grooming

At WOOOF dog grooming Canberra, our services are designed to deep cleanse the coat and skin and include a warm double wash with natural shampoos and conditioners that are pH balanced, 100% vegan, with no synthetic perfumes, chemicals or palm oils to harm your dog or the planet.

For anxious or extra cheeky dogs we recommend you book a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know your dog and understand their special needs. They can get familiar with our environment, helping to reduce anxiety on their first visit. 

Luxe wash & dry

A luxurious warm double wash and body massage using a coat-specific shampoo and conditioning treatment followed by a thorough blow dry, brush and comb. We finish with a natural conditioning spray to help promote optimal condition and shine, plus a spritz of cologne sending your dog home fresh, happy and huggable. Double-coated or combination-coated dogs also receive a light deshed treatment in the bath to help keep your home fur-free. All dogs receive nail clipping and ear cleaning as requested.

Express wash & dry

A quick refresh between regular grooming appointments, this streamlined service includes an all-in-one shampoo and conditioner, gentle brush-through, and a blow-dry. Plus complimentary nail clipping, ear cleaning, and a spritz of cologne. This means you can wash more often and stay fresh, without breaking the bank.

This express service is suitable for dogs up to 29 kilos with well-maintained, short, wire or curly coats. If your dog is double coated, extra large, needs grooming or extra lovin’ after a lake swim or trip to the beach, double-handling due to extreme anxiety, is matted or needs deshedding, you’ll need our signature Luxe Wash and Dry service.

Tidy Groom

We start the service with a luxe wash & dry, followed by a tidy of the pads/paws, eye area so they can see, sanitary areas and nails and ear canal cleaning as requested to keep your dog looking neat. We do not clip the face, beard, tail or body during this service. Suitable for dogs with long, wire, curly, double or combination coats.

Full groom

This service is suitable for dogs with long, wire, curly or combination coats. It begins with a luxe wash & dry and includes a consistent length clip over the body, with hand scissoring of legs, face, sanitary areas, pads, ears, nails as required. We finish off with paw butter and a natural conditioning spray and cologne mist that helps promote coat shine.

Style groom

Special breeds require special treatment. This includes precision clipping and hand-scissoring. We’ll discuss your style preferences such as a looser style or more traditional form. We start with a warm double wash and gentle body massage using a coat-specific shampoo and conditioning treatment before a blow dry, comb and brush.

WOOOF does not offer long stay services so your dog won’t spend hours in the salon getting stressed. We’ll provide you an estimated pick up time and contact you when your dog is ready to collect.

Last minute cancellations, ‘no shows’ and late drop off and pick ups will result in additional fees charged to cover the cost incurred by WOOOF. See our Customer agreement for more information.

$30 - for the dogs who get grumpy when they’re being groomed and require some extra hands. We recommend you book a free Meet & Greet so we can get to know your dog and their needs. They can get familiar with our environment, helping to reduce anxiety on their first visit.
