Pet Grooming in Perth

Perth's groomers range from neighbourhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that park outside your home. A full groom usually covers a bath, haircut, nail trim and ear cleaning; most groomers also offer bath-only visits, de-shedding and quick tidy-ups between full grooms. Listings are mostly in the City of Perth area and the inner suburbs.

Dog registration in Perth

The City of Perth says all dogs over three months of age need to be registered, that State Government regulations require registered dogs to be microchipped as well, and that registration is due by 1 November each year; one-year, three-year and lifetime registrations are offered. The City's pets page adds that owners of unregistered dogs can be fined on the spot by council rangers. Other councils in Perth's inner suburbs run their own registration, so check the council where you live.

Hot roads and parked cars

Perth summers get very hot. RSPCA WA says that if you cannot hold your hand on the ground comfortably for a full five seconds, it is too hot for your dog's paws. In January 2025 it reported 123 heat-related cruelty complaints since 1 December, and asked owners to leave dogs at home rather than in parked cars. Ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed, and for double-coated breeds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave to the skin.

Tick disease in northern WA

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development reports that the tick-borne disease ehrlichiosis was confirmed in Australian dogs for the first time in May 2020 in the Kimberley region, and has since been confirmed in dogs from the Pilbara, Gascoyne and northern Goldfields (page updated January 2025). Perth is not on that list. If you are taking your dog north, ask your vet about tick prevention, and check your dog for ticks when you get home.

Before the first appointment

• Tell the groomer about your dog's health, age and temperament.
• Ask how dogs are dried; if a cage dryer is used, someone should check the dog often.
• Ask which vaccines they require, and reschedule if your dog is coughing.
• If the coat is badly matted, ask about a short clip rather than hours of brushing out.
