What To Expect

Not your average dog groomer…

Welcome to dog grooming at Barking Butler Grooming Studio, where education-driven grooms are an artful expression of care and compassion. Established in 2020 and nestled in the heart of South Perth, our family-owned and operated studio redefines the Perth dog grooming experience and elevates industry standards in Australia.

Our approach is simple yet profound: we treat your dog as we would our own. It's this genuine connection that sets us apart. Extending beyond aesthetics, our grooming philosophy prioritises the overall well-being of your beloved companions. It's about facilitating an environment that not only leaves your dog looking fabulous, but feeling fabulous, too.

We believe in the transformative power of a positive grooming journey, which can be started at any stage of life. It's not just a groom; it's an investment in your dog's health and happiness. Regular visits to Barking Butler ensure optimal coat and skin condition, creating a harmonious and stress-free bond between your dog and the grooming experience. We offer grooming education to owners, including home-grooming tips, tricks and demonstrations, to support them as they support their dog through a healthy, happy life.

Our groom team stands out for its commitment to continuous education and skill refinement. Our professional team takes part in weekly meetings, trainings and procedure refreshers, as well as regular Professional Development seminars and courses both domestic and international, throughout the year. Grooming is our life’s passion, after all. Each groomer is meticulously selected not only for their kind heart and professionalism, but their extensive knowledge and experience in canine grooming techniques, theory, handling and breeds. We approach our work as artisans and compassionate caregivers, ensuring that your pet's grooming experience is as pleasant as a walk in the park.

Step into our modern studio, as playful as the gorgeous pets we groom. Cleverly designed with transparency and safety in mind, yet exuding a welcoming ambiance that resonates with the warmth of a friendly tail wag. Equipped with the latest technology, maintained to the highest standards and climate-controlled for comfort, our space mirrors the professionalism and expertise of our grooming team.
