From the moment you walk in they make you feel like your dog is the most important which was brilliant. Indie looked and smelled amazing when she was done. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Will be the only groomers I take indie to from now on. Great job. 🥇

Desperately needed to get two elderly small dogs groomed and washed as their, also elderly, Mum had been hospitalised and they obviously has not been groomed or washed in quite a while. After trying absolutely everywhere, we were so lucky to get an appt at WA Dog Grooming & Clipping Academy. The dogs now look amazing and the people were so kind. Such a great job. Everyone’s happy.👏

My small dog was initially a reactive nipper, but they treated him wonderfully and now is fine for his grooms! They had a trainee and offered to groom my Labrador for a reduced rate, he now looks so fluffy!
Work well with older dogs too. Before our golden retriever passed we had him groomed and they accommodated for his bad hips. He was much more comfortable with his groomed coat during his final year.

I took my brother’s dog to be groomed and they managed to squeeze him in for the next day which was amazing! They were so understanding and did such an amazing and thorough job! Would highly recommend to absolutely everyone. I will definitely be back!
Thank you so much🫶🏻🐶🐾

My best friend, Ivy, recently had a wonderful pampering experience at W.A. Dog Grooming & Clipping Academy. Despite being a vocal and anxious 13-year-old Siberian Husky, she surprisingly allowed them to clip her overgrown toes! The staff were so gentle and caring with my little old girl, and when she left, she smelled absolutely delightful. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone with a Husky like mine. They truly understand how to handle our furry friends with love and compassion.

Have been going here for years and both the previous owners and the new owners have always taken care of my Pug Bruno. They are able to brush out his second coat so he sheds less and they are able to do his nails. They have a harness that helps keep him comfortable when they are doing his nails, pug people will understand! Always a 5 star service and would recommend to anyone with a pug or anyone who loves their dog!
