Standard Full Grooms
The complete groom — bath, full body clip and finish — one-on-one in Murrumba Downs, servicing North Brisbane.
Full Groom, Done Right
The standard full groom is our most popular all-round service for dogs in Murrumba Downs and across North Brisbane: a warm bath with shampoo and condition, towel and blow dry, a full body clip (10# to 3# blade), full face groom, nails, paw pads, sanitary areas and ears cleaned, finished with cologne. It’s the practical, comfortable, low-maintenance haircut — everything done in one calm, one-on-one session, with your dog home the same morning or afternoon smelling wonderful.
A standard groom suits dogs whose owners want a neat, manageable coat without the upkeep of a longer style: think Cavoodles between styled cuts, Shih Tzus in a Queensland summer, and any clipping breed whose coat grows faster than the household can brush. Because the clip lengths run from 10# to 3# blade, there’s still a choice — from a short, practical summer cut to a plusher all-over finish.

- Hot, heavy-coated dogs struggling through Brisbane summers

Do's and Don'ts
Do
- Tell us the blade length that worked last time — or let us recommend one
- Book every 4–8 weeks; regular clients can ask about maintenance discounts
- Consider going shorter before summer and holidays
- Mention skin sensitivities so we can select blades and products carefully
Don't
- Ask for a close shave on a double-coated breed without a chat first — it can permanently affect the coat
- Wait until matting forces the shortest blade; regular booking keeps choices open
- Confuse a full groom with a tidy — this one includes the complete body clip
- Worry if your dog looks different straight after a short clip; coats settle within days

Only after an honest conversation — often a de-shed and tidy serves those coats far better than a clip.
Every 4–8 weeks for most clipping breeds. We'll suggest a cycle for your dog's coat.
We pause. Breaks, treats and patience are built into every appointment — and welfare always outranks the haircut.
