Dog grooming studio, Gawler East

One groomer.
Your dog, his full attention.

Calm, careful grooming by Brendan Mooney. Clipped exactly the way you ask, checked over for skin and coat troubles, and done in a quiet studio without the stress of a salon full of other dogs.

Why owners keep coming back

A quiet studio, and a groomer who actually listens.

Dog Grooming Gawler is Brendan’s own grooming studio in Gawler East. No production line, no row of barking dogs waiting their turn. Just your dog, Brendan, and as much time as a good groom takes.

  • Your dog has his full attention

    Owners say their dogs come home calm, because there’s no crowd of other dogs in the salon wound up around them.

  • Clipped exactly how you want it

    Tell him the look. Brendan listens first and clips to match, not to a one-size-fits-all trim.

  • A second set of eyes on skin and coat

    If anything unusual comes up in the fur or on the skin, he’ll talk you through it when you collect.

  • Patient with nervous dogs

    Anxious, clingy, first-timers and puppies all get the same gentle, unhurried handling.

Brendan is fantastic! He's so patient and caring, my anxious little Velcro dog always comes home happy and calm and looks so good!

Grooming

What your dog can book in for

Every coat and every dog is different, so the best way to get a price is to call or text Brendan with your dog’s breed and what you’d like done.

Full groom

Bath, dry, brush out and a full clip and tidy, finished the way you asked for it. Tell Brendan the look you're after and he'll take it from there.

Bath and dry

A proper wash and a thorough dry for dogs between clips, so they come home clean, soft and smelling like they've had a day at the spa.

Puppy grooms

Some of Brendan's regulars have been coming since they were pups. A calm, gentle start makes every groom after it easier.

Skin and coat checks

If something unusual turns up in the fur or on the skin while he's working, Brendan talks it through with you at pick up.

Brendan Mooney, the groomer people follow.

Some of Brendan’s regulars have been with him for years, following him from salon to salon wherever he worked. In 2024 he opened Dog Grooming Gawler, his own grooming studio in Gawler East.

Owners talk about how generous he is with what he knows, how he treats their dogs like his own, and how nothing leaves the table until it’s right.

“He has been grooming our Dog for about 6 years. We have followed Brendan where ever he has worked.”

Treats all the dogs like they are his own kids! Really takes care with them and clips exactly as you want. Always discusses any issues with their fur and skin if anything unusual comes up.

Happy to recommend DGG to any doggo's that demand top quality treatment with a little love and affection thrown in!

Brendan replied: Such kind words, thank you!

I have being going to Brendan since my boy was a pup. I know that when I collect my boy he will be beautiful groomed but most importantly I also know that he is safe, happy and taken care of. Brendan listens to what I want, the salon is top quality and clean and your pup is given his full attention, without the overstimulating stress of multiple dogs in the salon. I highly recommend Brendan

Brendan is incredibly generous with his vast knowledge base. He is a true perfectionist and no hair or fur is out of place.

I would definitely recommend his services. We are so lucky to have him!
