Melanie Newman Salon Essentials

Plant-based. Australian-made.

Collection: Dog Washing on the Gold Coast

Miami, Gold Coast

Warm dog wash, blow dry and brush-out

For when your dog doesn't need a full groom, just a proper clean. Warm bath, professional blow dry, full brush-out, all in a calm Miami studio. Available for short and long coats.

When a wash is enough

Sometimes the coat doesn't need clipping, just cleaning. Between full grooms, after a beach day, after they've found something disgusting in the bushes, or in seasonal sheds when the loose hair needs proper drying out. The wash service does the bath part of a full groom without the clip work, which keeps it shorter and cheaper.

Every wash uses Melanie Newman Salon Essentials, an Australian-made professional range that cleans without stripping the natural oils that keep coats healthy and shiny. Sensitive-skin shampoos are available if your dog has allergies or itchy patches.

What's included

Three steps, done properly

1

Warm water bath

Proper warm water, not a cold-hose rinse. Salon-quality shampoo chosen for your dog's coat type and skin. Conditioner where the coat needs it.

2

Professional blow dry

At a comfortable temperature and noise level. The dryer we use is quieter than industrial salon dryers, which matters for nervous dogs.

3

Full brush-out

Removes loose hair, prevents tangles, sets the coat smooth. The difference between a "rinsed" dog and a properly washed one.

When your dog needs a wash

  • Between full grooms. Keeps them fresh and tangle-free without the clip work.
  • After the beach or park. Sand, salt, mud, whatever they rolled in. All sorted.
  • Seasonal shedding. Proper warm wash plus a deshed treatment loosens dead undercoat and dramatically reduces shedding at home.
  • Before guests or events. Quick freshen-up so they look and smell their best for visitors.
  • After a daycare day. Add a wash to a daycare booking and they go home tired and clean.
Pick the right one

Short coat or long coat?

Short coat

Short coat wash + blow dry

For breeds like Staffies, Labradors, Kelpies, French Bulldogs, Pugs and Beagles. Warm bath, blow dry, brush-out. Quicker session because the coat dries faster.

Long coat

Long coat wash + blow dry

For breeds like Cavoodles, Groodles, Spoodles, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers and most poodle mixes. Same wash, plus extra time on the brush-out and tangles.

Not sure which to pick? Choose either, we'll confirm the right option at check-in based on your dog's actual coat. The booking system also has size guidance.

Shedding everywhere? Add a deshed

A wash plus deshed combines the warm bath with proper undercoat removal and drying techniques that protect the topcoat. It's the right move for double-coated breeds (Labs, Goldens, Huskies, Border Collies) once or twice a year, and for most other dogs heading into shed season. Available on both short and long coat versions, makes a noticeable dent in the hair around your house.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does a dog wash take?

30 to 60 minutes typically, depending on coat type, size and condition. Long or thick coats take longer to wash and dry properly than short coats. We'd rather take an extra ten minutes than rush a dry.

What products do you use?

Melanie Newman Salon Essentials as our default, an Australian-made professional range. Gentle, dog-safe formulas. We choose the right shampoo and conditioner for your dog's coat and skin type. Sensitive-skin alternatives available on request.

What's the difference between a wash and a groom?

A wash is bath, blow dry and brush-out. A groom adds clipping or scissoring, ear cleaning, nail trim and hygiene tidies around the face and rear. If your dog's coat is in good shape and just needs freshening up, a wash is what you want. If they're due for a haircut, book a groom.

Can I add a deshed treatment?

Yes. Pick the wash + deshed option for either short or long coat at booking. It's the same wash with extra undercoat work and a longer drying technique that pulls more loose hair out. Worth it for double-coated breeds.

Do you accept Afterpay?

Yes. Pay for any eligible wash service in four interest-free instalments with Afterpay at checkout.
