Sensitive skin is one of the most common issues seen in grooming salons. Redness, itchiness, dandruff or odour can make grooming uncomfortable if not managed carefully. Specialised salon treatments such as HoundFolk sensitive skin products are designed to support these dogs and make the experience more soothing.

Travel can be exciting for dogs, but long car rides, holidays and new environments are also harder on their coat, skin and nails.

Regular grooming is more than just keeping your dog looking their best—it’s also about supporting their health and comfort.

Assessment and Quote: When you bring your dog in for Matting-Be-Gone, our experienced team will first assess the condition of your dog’s coat and provide a quote for the brushing session.

Matting is a common but often misunderstood condition affecting dogs, especially those with longer, curly, or double coats. Left unmanaged, matting can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, and even health complications

Many dogs develop a thicker winter coat to insulate against Melbourne’s chilly weather. While this extra fur helps keep them warm, it also increases the risk of matting and tangling, which can trap moisture and dirt close to the skin. Given Melbourne’s humid winter conditions, mats can lead to skin irritations or infections if not regularly brushed out. Regular grooming helps maintain the coat’s insulating properties while preventing discomfort and skin problems.
