Pet grooming in Auckland

“All the consistent 5 star reviews don't lie. These guys have the right attitude, and I've worked with a load of kennels for my babies over 20 years all over the world. They possess a common sense balance between affection and responsible discipline, socialising, exercising, playing and relaxing in the right atmosphere tailored especially for your pooch. Our dogs journeyed 30,000km from Spain and arrived at their happy place here. I can't thank Tanja, Mark, their family and team enough for their attentive, kind and competent support. Could not recommend highly enough!”

“Lydia was an absolute delight! I loved how she asked questions about how I wanted Arlo groomed. When I picked him up he looked and smelled beautiful! He was wearing a little bandanna, so cute!! We’ve booked again using that fabulous booking tool, so easy!”

“Our dog has been going to Woodlands for many years and loves it, as do we. Their genuine care, training, reliable pick-up service and professionalism all make our busy family life much easier and we know that Rosie is in the best of hands. We would not hesitate to recommend Angela and the Woodlands team.”

“Phasma loves to come to Bethells Farmstay OR "Doggie Disneyland" which our 9 year old son refers to it as because of all the fun we know she has. She's stayed here quite a number of times over the last 18months since we first got her. This family business came highly recommended to us by a friend and they are always quick to respond, hugely accommodating, friendly and we dont have to worry about a thing as we know our little girl is well loved & cared for here. Highly recommend.”

“We have used Lil Luka Dog Walks for about a year and a half now and can’t recommend them highly enough for their expertise and friendliness and patience and for your peace of mind. Billy and her team are the utmost professional team of dog walkers. We used Solo Sam for our dog as she is anxious with other dogs and she loved going out on her walks each week, which gave us a break. We also used them for when we went away on holiday as she is a strong dog and our sitters couldn’t have handled walking her, Billy and her team walked her every day, so we could enjoy being away knowing she was getting her excercise. Communication was easy using their app and they provide photos and info about each walk. It’s really worth it. 10/10”

“I highly recommend Warkworth Vets. Saying goodbye to our Darling Puskus after 19 years was very sad. Jo and Fiona were full of compassion and empathy. I knew instantly she was in the best hands. Thank-you Jo and Fiona.”

“Petparks looked after my dog, who passed away earlier this year, on numerous occasions. Although he could be quite challenging behaviorally, Petparks understood him and managed him really well and he was always happy and relaxed about going there. Jennifer and Louise were always accommodating and gracious about booking changes, and drop off and pick up times. I never felt hurried when updating them about anything new each time I checked him in for a stay - I felt that they were genuinely interested in his welfare, and fond of him. I was able to enjoy complete peace of mind about him whenever I was away, and I recommend this place unreservedly. Plus Jennifer does the most fabulous grooming!”

“Exceptional Groom. Took our 2 dogs Jane and Lola. Very happy with the job Brianna did. She was geat with our dogs. Both dogs look fantastic. Highly recommend. We will definitely be taking ours back there when next groom due.”

“Our puppy always has a wonderful time and comes home exhausted. Staff are friendly and post lots of photos.”

“Love, jess. 3 dogs are groomed by Jess. She does an awesome job every time .”

“Very consistent. Barbara is super awesome with Bodhi my 4 year old BT Hand stripping can’t be easy with dogs but she seems to get it done as effectively as well as quick. I’d recommend Short Bark and sides to anyone Thank you”

“Absolutely the best care for my babies. Worth the 75 minute drive to get there!”

“I followed Doggy Dan’s 5 golden rules with my rescue dog who was super reactive and out of control and it works! She is now almost 10 and is a joy. Thanks Dan. Highly recommend his program.”

“Very friendly staff, very helpful and knowledgeable. Jordan was very kind and helped me pick out what I needed and carried my products to the car. Going above and beyond. Will definitely be coming back”

“I had a really great experience with the 2 lovely staff members yesterday. Both were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable in helping me choose the right products for my puppy. They went above and beyond and I'd definitely pop back in to that store when I'm in the area again.”

“Came in with my little pup Harley and one of the team, Isabelle, despite being on her day off went out of her way to make a fuss and cuddle her. If that wasn't enough she then recognized her again 3 days later and when I visited the store without her a few days after that she remembered her name and asked about her. This was a huge contrast to animates who didn't even look at her or acknowledge her. Customer for life here. Thanks! With love from Harley”

“The team at 3 Kings are amazing. Always welcoming me with a smile. They often me help me carry my purchases to my van. I highly recommend them”

“Fantastic vets. They were able to get me in at short notice and the whole team were wonderful. Just a great experience all round. Thanks you!”

“Our local Animates store! I always love coming here as all the staff are friendly and amazing. The staff are always so helpful, and they once even helped me bring big bags of litter boxes to the car ☺️ Products are mostly stocked, and they have great multi buy deals. Have done a price match with them in the past too. Special shout out to Nyk and Joseph, always with smiles everytime I see them. Keep up the great work team!”

“I took my dog to have his surgery (neutered) here. Good communication throughout the process. The clinic was easy to find and have many parking spaces. Recommend!”

“Took my Puppy here for her haircut last week and it was the best she's had yet, we will definitely become regulars here. They asked me exactly how I wanted her to look, and they made sure that she had the best experience ever. Being a puppy she's very social and active but she came out looking absolutely amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better job. Amazing team and fabulous groomers in a wonderful space with plenty of parking for a quick dash in and out.”

“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Chae at Barkers Albany! She was in charge of organising suits for our groomsmen and her level of service was nothing short of exceptional. Some of our groomsmen were out of Auckland, and even out of the country, but Chae made the entire process stress free and seamless. She was incredibly patient with our numerous requests and changes, always remaining professional and accommodating. Chae truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was ordered and organised perfectly, ensuring we got exactly what we needed. Her attention to detail and commitment to providing top-tier service made this part of our wedding planning a breeze. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, Chae is your go-to! Thank you so much Chae for making this experience so easy and enjoyable.”

“Highly recommend this grooming service. The lady is so nice and patient. I always take my babies to have the grooming here.”

“New to puppy ownership and have had several great experiences in the last 2 weeks. Dan & Haili (sorry if I have that wrong) were amazingly knowledgeable, providing options and advice. As well as other team members keen to assist. Skye is a magnet for attention. New toy is a hit. Thank you!”

“St Lukes Animates Grooming did an amazing job with my toy poodle, Tiny. The staff was welcoming, and the salon was quick with high standard level. Tiny came out looking adorable with a perfect trim. Their attention to detail and genuine care were impressive. Highly recommend!”

“Had a wonderful experience—big thanks to Zoey and Anna for their kind recommendation and support! I really appreciate their help throughout the process (and I hope I spelled your names correctly!). Highly recommend!”
