Best for true smooth coats that just need a fresh, glossy, clean reset.
This service is for true smooth-coated dogs such as Dalmatians, Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pugs, and Boxers.
It is not the best fit for Labradors, Kelpies, or heavier-shedding coats that need more drying, brushing, or coat release.
For fuller, fluffier, or more maintenance-heavy coats that need a deeper clean and a proper dry-through.
This category is better for dogs with fuller coats, stronger shedding patterns, or coats that need more drying and brushing.
For your booking categories, Labradors and Kelpies are better placed here than in short coat wash and dry.
For smooth-coated dogs that are dropping loose fur and need extra help during shedding season.
This is for true smooth coats that need extra loose-fur release during shedding periods.
If the dog has a denser or stronger-shedding coat like a Labrador or Kelpie, the long coat de-shedding option is usually the better fit.
Best for denser, fluffier, double-coated, or stronger-shedding dogs that need a deeper coat release.
This option is made for bigger coat release, undercoat removal, and that deep de-shed feeling.
If the dog is a Labrador, Kelpie, or another denser shedding coat type, this is the right booking choice.
Dog Washing Adelaide · Tranmere

Dog Washing · Tranmere Adelaide
01
Every dog wash includes a double cleanse using coat-specific shampoo and conditioner, a full blow dry or fluff dry to remove all moisture from the undercoat, and a brush and comb finish. No damp coat. No shortcuts.
02
Short coat washing is for smooth, sleek coats with no heavy undercoat — think Staffy, Whippet, Boxer, Dalmatian, or short-coated Beagle. Long coat washing is for dogs with longer or denser fur that needs more thorough drying and brushing.
Labradors and Kelpies are booked as long coat at Dog Love — even though their fur appears short, they have a dense double coat that needs the full long coat treatment to dry properly.
03
A dog wash includes bathing, drying and brushing but no haircut or coat length change. It is the right choice when your dog's coat still looks good but needs a thorough clean and freshen up.
A full groom includes everything in a wash plus a style cut, clipping and scissor finish. If your dog's coat is overdue for a length change or full reset, a full groom is the better option.

A standard wash and dry is best for dogs that mainly need a fresh, clean coat and a proper dry-through. A de-shedding wash is better for dogs with loose undercoat, heavier shedding, or seasonal coat blowouts that need more coat release.
If your dog drops a lot of fur around the house, has a denser coat, or is going through a big seasonal shed, de-shedding is usually the better choice.

Ask Which Service to BookDog Washing FAQs
These quick answers explain what's included in a dog wash, when de-shedding is the better choice, and how to decide whether your dog needs a wash and dry or a full groom.
Our dog wash and dry service includes a professional bath, coat cleanse, and full dry to leave your dog feeling fresh, clean, and comfortable.
The right option depends on your dog's coat type, fur length, and shedding level, which is why we separate short coat, long coat, and de-shedding services.
A dog wash is ideal for dogs who need a bath, dry, and coat refresh without clipping, trimming, or full styling work.
A full groom is better for dogs that need haircuts, tidy-up work, clipping, or more complete coat maintenance.
A de-shedding wash is best for dogs with loose undercoat, heavier shedding, or seasonal coat blowouts.
If your dog is dropping a lot of fur through the house, has a thicker coat, or feels like they are "blowing coat," de-shedding is usually the better choice.
With us, Labradors, Kelpies, and similar heavier-shedding coats are usually better booked under the long coat or long coat de-shedding options rather than the true short coat category.
That is because they often need more dry-through, brushing, and coat release than a true smooth coat.
Yes. We welcome dogs from Tranmere and nearby Adelaide suburbs for professional dog washing, wash and dry services, and de-shedding appointments.
