Manly Vale means one thing to a dog: the Dam. Manly Dam Reserve's trails and swimming spots make this suburb heaven for water dogs and working breeds, and the source of the muddiest before-photos in our gallery.
We're five minutes down the hill, which is exactly why so many Manly Vale bookings start with a phone call that begins with laughing. Bring them straight in; mud is our love language. A proper bath, coat-appropriate cut, and blow-dry later, you'd never know about the swamp incident.

Street parking is available around our Pittwater Rd salon. Better yet: park near the beach, walk your dog before drop-off so they arrive calm and happy, then finish the walk together after pick-up. The fresh groom deserves a lap of honour.

This is genuinely our most common Manly Vale phone call. Yes, bring them in. Drop-off is 8am to midday; a bath, de-shed, and blow-dry will erase the evidence.
About five minutes down Condamine St to 123 Pittwater Rd, Manly. Close enough that the towel in the boot stays almost dry.
Street parking is available on and around Pittwater Rd near the salon. Our favourite trick: park near the beach instead, walk your dog before drop-off so they arrive relaxed, then finish the walk together after pick-up to show off the fresh groom.
Send a photo of your pet, we'll confirm the groom and the price, and you're booked. Easy.
