Dog grooming in Nobby Beach

Nobby Beach is a few minutes up the road from us. Expect unrushed grooms, warm washes and structured daycare on Mountain View Avenue in Miami, with the same small team every visit.

How far from Nobby Beach

Two to five minutes south along the Gold Coast Highway. From the Nobby strip you're at our door before the coffee you just bought has cooled down. There's free street parking on Mountain View Avenue. Spots aren't guaranteed, so please park legally and check the signs.

Pets Juicy, 1/22 Mountain View Avenue, Miami QLD 4220. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 8am to 4pm. Booking's online only, so the phone stays quiet and the dogs stay relaxed.

Prices for every size are on the grooming, washing and daycare pages, where you can book as well.

Built for Nobby Beach dogs

Nobby has kept the village thing better than most of the Coast. There's a short strip, a handful of places that know your order, and a beach that never quite gets as busy as the ones either side of it. Dogs are woven right through it. Half the tables on that strip have a lead tied to a chair leg.

The upside of a beach suburb is obvious. The downside, coat-wise, is that Nobby dogs are almost always slightly salty. Sand works its way into the pads and behind the ears, and salt that dries in a coat pulls moisture out of the skin and makes the guard hairs brittle. On a double-coated dog that's exactly how matting starts, quietly, in the places you don't check.

Because we're so close, a lot of Nobby dogs run on a rhythm with us rather than booking in a panic: a groom every six to eight weeks, plus a quick wash and blow dry whenever a run of swims catches up with the coat. Let us know how often your dog swims and we'll say whether that middle appointment's worth it.

The breeds we see most from Nobby Beach

Around Nobby we see a lot of Cavoodles, Frenchies, Staffies, Border Collies and Labradors, plus the small-breed contingent that comes with the apartments closer to the highway.

Price and appointment length come down to the coat more than the breed. Our breed-specific notes cover most of what walks through the door: Cavoodle grooming, Staffy grooming, Border Collie grooming, Moodle grooming and the full breed library.

We don't offer hand stripping. If your wire-coated dog needs it, you're better off hearing that from us now.

The beach rules most Nobby locals get wrong

Nobby Beach is right there, which makes the council rules worth knowing properly rather than guessing.

Nobby itself is an on-leash beach. The nearest designated off-leash sand is Tallebudgera, south past Burleigh. For off-leash closer to home, Pizzey Park on the Miami and Mermaid Waters border has an off-leash area and sits about four minutes from Nobby.

A tip worth having: if your dog has been in the surf, a fresh water rinse before the coat dries makes a real difference to how the next few weeks go. It won't replace a proper wash and blow dry, but it slows the salt damage down considerably.

For bigger days out, our verified guides to dog friendly beaches, dog friendly parks and dog friendly pubs and bars are updated and checked.
