The Dandy Dog

Best For

• Basic deshedding baths and nail trims for short-haired breeds
• owners who are very explicit and detailed about exactly what they want
• last-minute grooming appointments when other places are booked months out
• budget-conscious Surry Hills locals who need quick turnarounds without the Bondi Junction wait times

• ⚡Speed and AvailabilityWhile many Sydney groomers require months of advance booking, The Dandy Dog consistently offers next-day appointments with 2-hour turnarounds.
• 💰Neighbourhood PricingReviews consistently mention competitive rates compared to surrounding areas, with one owner specifically noting "better quality and a better price" than their previous Bondi Junction groomer.
• 🐕Calm Dogs During ServiceMultiple reviews note dogs being relaxed and not wanting to leave after grooming, suggesting gentle handling during the process.
• ⚠️ Communication-Dependent ResultsThe grooming outcome depends heavily on crystal-clear instructions — there's a documented pattern of dogs being clipped shorter than owners expected when they asked for "trims." Several Pomeranian, spoodle, and cavoodle owners report requesting scissor trims or winter coats but receiving full shaves instead.
