Pets Indulgence

What used to be a great dog grooming venue for our golden retriever is now just ordinary! Confirmed via text a ‘lamb cut’ for our dog! Dropped her off and thought odd when told she would be ready in 2hrs! Sure enough went to get her they just washed her and clipped nails! Left her there and only got a minor clip as so frustrated! Never again as found a great place up the road! Staff need to focus!

Called up to book an appointment and the man who answered the phone was so rude. Not interested!

After a 10-​day stint in quarantine (and two weeks back home), our trusted and loyal family pooch, CJ, needed a bath REAL bad!!! I came upon Pets Indulgence during my rounds at the Prahran Market. Located just outside of the east entry into the market place (down a one-​way street, off Commercial), it’s a relatively compact, yet efficient space. The staff I met (Colin, Tina, KJ & Jake) are just the best kind of people you’d want taking care of your four-​legged family member (s)! There are no cages to be seen, and the groomed pooches lie about the main area on leads (wee ones on beds) while awaiting their guardians. Everyone appeared calm and patient. The transformations take place in the rear in a wide-​open room. CJ’s hygiene bath was a surprisingly inexpensive $ 30. (Back in the States, we’d spend a good $ 90 for the same service!) From drop-​off at 8a, to breakfast, then shopping at the market, to pick-​up, CJ was out of there by 9:30a. As a newbie in Aussie, and my first time getting CJ groomed, I felt really good with the entire experience at Pets Indulgence. And with an actively wagging tale by CJ, I think she enjoyed the experience, as well!!! :D

There are dog groomers and then there are real dog groomers — And Pet Indulgence is a real dog groomer. Not only do I only trust them to look after my pooch but from the vast number of dogs they have lined up everyday, it’s obvious the people in South Yarra and Prahran feel the same way as I do.
Even though the premises are small and occupy a corner unit in the back of Prahran Market, they always manage to make all the lucky dogs feel pampered, welcomed and attend to your dog as promptly as possible.
There’s just something about Colin (the owner) that makes you feel like your pooch is in good hands and he also gives really good advice about behavioural issues and your dog’s health. A full groom, including a wash, hair cut and nail clip will set you back $ 60 (for a small dog) but the cuts are really good and will last longer than if you go to a cheaper, less professional salon. Just like with human hair stylists — it’s all in the cut!
