Dog washing in Tranmere, for short and long coats.

A proper wash is more than a rinse and a towel. Every dog gets a warm hydrobath with professional shampoo, a conditioning rinse, a dry right through to the skin and a full brush out, so they go home soft, clean and comfortable.

All breeds are welcome at our calm, home based salon at 11 Athol Avenue. Choose the wash that matches your dog's coat and we take care of the rest.

Our process

How we wash your dog

Every wash follows the same careful steps, with dog specific products only.

  2. Warm hydrobathWarm water and a professional dog shampoo, massaged gently into the skin.
  3. Condition and rinseConditioner softens the coat and supports the skin, then we rinse until the water runs clear, because leftover product can irritate.
  4. Dry right throughTowels first, then a dryer on a comfortable setting. Long coats are dried to the skin so no damp is left underneath.
  5. Brush and finishA final brush and comb, ears cleaned and nails trimmed, ready for pickup.

Hannah you're amazing, thank you for fitting Wilson and Archie in for a wash and blow dry. Your passion for what you do and your love of dogs really stands out big time. They looked so cute and fluffy and now fast asleep after their play time with you. Thank you again

I couldn't recommend Dog Love Groomers more. Our Samoyed x Border Collie had some serious matting (he is part seal and spent the winter either lying in the rain or swimming in smelly creeks....loves water)....he was a bit of a stinky mess. He came back to us gloriously washed, no mats and groomed to perfection. Very impressed. Thank you Dog Love, for your hard work and skills. Roger looks fabulous!

Questions

Dog washing questions

What is included in a dog wash at Dog Love?

Every wash includes a warm hydrobath with professional dog shampoo, a conditioning rinse, a full dry, a brush out, ears cleaned with a gentle solution and nails trimmed. Long coats are also fluff dried right through to the skin and finished with a comb.

Should I book the short coat or long coat wash?

Book the short coat wash for smooth coats with no heavy undercoat, like French Bulldogs, Staffies, Boxers and Pugs. Book the long coat wash for fuller, fluffier or double coats, including oodles, Border Collies and Golden Retrievers. Labradors and Kelpies book the long coat wash, because their dense undercoat needs the longer dry.

How long does a dog wash take?

A short coat wash takes about 20 to 60 minutes and a long coat wash about 60 to 120 minutes, depending on your dog's size and coat. We text you about 15 minutes before your dog is ready.

How much does a dog wash cost in Adelaide?

At Dog Love in Tranmere, a short coat wash is a guide price of $50 to $95 and a long coat wash $60 to $155, depending on your dog's weight. The final price depends on coat condition, length and density and the products we use, so it can be a little under or a little over, and your groomer confirms it at drop off.

What is the difference between a dog wash and a full groom?

A wash cleans, dries and brushes the coat but does not change its length. A full groom includes everything in a wash plus a clip and scissor finish. Our guide on dog wash versus full groom explains which one suits your dog.

How often should my dog have a wash?

It depends on the coat and how your dog lives. Our guide on how often to wash your dog has a simple schedule for each coat type.

Do you wash dogs from nearby suburbs?
