Dog nail trimming and pampering services

Overgrown nails can cause discomfort and posture issues or even lead to injury. That’s why dog nail trimming is a vital part of your pet’s routine care. Our experienced groomers carefully trim and file your dog’s nails to a safe length, ensuring they can walk comfortably.

For pet parents looking to add a stylish touch, we also offer dog nail polish in various colours suitable for special occasions or just for fun. Rest assured, our dog nail polish uses safe and non-toxic ingredients to pamper your pup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Grooming

  • When should I start bringing my dog to a professional groomer?

    You can bring your pet to a professional groomer from as young as three months old. Starting early will allow your dog to get accustomed to the environment of a pet grooming salon. This way, grooming will be a pleasurable experience for the pet as it grows up, instead of a traumatic one.

  • How often should my dog be groomed?

    In most cases, 4-6 weeks should be enough to maintain the coat of your pet. This may vary based on your pet’s breed and health. You can always ask us for a recommendation.

  • Will you muzzle my dog during grooming?

    Only if your pet shows aggression. A muzzle can help to calm them throughout the pet grooming appointment and ensure our groomers are safe as well.

  • Can I stay while my dog is being groomed?

    It would be better if the dog doesn’t see you or know you’re around while they’re in their pet grooming session. If you stay, your dog will likely try to get to you constantly, which can make them anxious.

    Our groomers are highly trained and completely dedicated to providing a safe and comforting environment for your pet – trust us, they are in safe hands at Sugarland Animal Hospital.

  • My dog scratches a lot after grooming - is this normal?

    Yes, it’s normal and you have nothing to worry about. The best thing that you can do is to try to distract your pet from scratching. Because it might become itchier if your dog constantly scratches it. But other than that, your pet will be fine.

  • How do I book a grooming appointment for my pet?

    If you need your pet groomed in Bundaberg, all you need to do is give us a call on 07 4151 3550 or book our pet grooming services online here.
