Baths, tidy-ups, and full grooms at a friendly, family-run salon on Main Road in Shearwater. Every breed, every size, and every personality is welcome here, from the wiggliest puppy to the most nervous rescue. Your dog leaves clean, comfortable, and looking their best.

From a quick freshen-up to a full breed groom, we keep your dog comfortable from start to finish. Here is some of what we do.
A complete service with bath, blow-dry, breed-specific haircut, nails, and ears, so your dog leaves looking and feeling their best.
A warm, thorough bath and blow-dry with a light tidy-up, perfect for between full grooms or for low-maintenance coats.
Classic cuts tailored to your dog's breed and coat, or a custom style if you have something in mind.
Quick, gentle nail trims to keep your dog comfortable and on their feet, with patient handling for fussy paws.
A deep clean and de-shed treatment to clear out loose undercoat and keep shedding around the house under control.
Extra time, patience, and a calm approach for dogs who find grooming stressful, so every visit feels safe and kind.
No surprises, no stress. Here is how your dog's day with us goes.
We meet your dog, talk through the cut you want, and note anything special about their coat or temperament.
A gentle, warm bath with the right shampoo for their coat, then a careful fluff dry until they are soft and clean.
A breed-specific cut or tidy, nails trimmed, ears checked, and a final once-over so everything looks just right.
We text you when your pup is ready for pickup, looking sharp, smelling great, and proud of their new look.

Grooming should never be stressful. We take our time with anxious and nervous dogs, working at their pace so a visit to the salon feels calm and kind. Patience, a soft touch, and a real love of dogs are behind everything we do, and it shows in how relaxed your pup is when you pick them up.
Darling Dogs Grooming is owned by Sue and run by a small, caring team who genuinely love what they do. Marina and the crew have built a loyal following of local families who come back again and again, because their dogs are treated like one of our own every single time. We are proud to be your neighbourhood groomer in Shearwater and Eastern Passage.
