While we have some amazing groomers that are experienced with anxious and difficult dogs we DO NOT accept any dogs that are extremely difficult or aggressive. Please understand this is a decision we have made to keep our staff and dogs happy. With multiple groomers and daycare out the back we just can’t offer an envirment suitable for these dogs.

Testimonials

  • The team at The Salty Dog did such a beautiful job with my two groodle girls! Their haircuts were perfect and the team made us feel so welcome! I've often felt anxious taking my 26kg dogs to other groomers as I've been made to feel like they're too much work but I didn't feel this way whatsoever which was so lovely. I can't recommend the ladies at Salty Dog Grooming enough! Thanks for a great experience 🤗

  • On holidays at Tannm Sands, I booked The Salty Dog Grooming Salon from Adelaide before we left. So we really didn't know what to expect. Our lovely little Rosie was treated like a princess from go to woe and came out with the best cut we've ever had. VERY HAPPY and would recommend without any hesitation. Great job Salty Dog !!!

  • No Shows - Not showing up to your appointment with no or very little notice given will incur a fee of 50% of your expected groom price.

  • Late Fee’s - If you are running late please let us know and we will do our best to still fit you in, please be aware a late fee may apply. As we have set times booked for your appointment, if you are any more than 15 minutes late your appointment may be cancelled and a no show fee will be applied.

  • Late pick up - all dogs must be pick up when their groom is finished. we will send a text when they are 10 minutes off being ready. If you are more than 30 minutes late for collection a fee will apply of $10 per hour. If you are late past our closing time the fee will be $10 per 10 minutes.

  • FLEAS - If we find fleas on your dog there will be a $20 - $30 flea wash and clean up charge to ensure our salon stays flea free.

  • Matting / knots - As dematting is very uncomfortable and at times painful for the dog, we do not like to do this. If we believe the matting is able to be brushed out comfortably there will be an extra charge for the extra time taken. If your dog is severely matted all we can do is shave it back very short, which will incur an extra charge. Even though we take the utmost care if your dog is severely matted they are at a higher risk of being cut. There is also a risk of revealing old sores and other underlying issues and potentially hematomas. We take no responsibility if your dog is injured do to being in a matted state.

  • Difficult / aggressive dogs - We do not take on extremely difficult dogs or aggressive dogs. If they are difficult or bite we may charge a surcharge for the extra time and risk taken. If your dog is too difficult or aggressive we may send it home unfinished, and the groom fee will apply.
