Dog grooming in Palm Beach

Palm Beach has one of only three designated off-leash dog beaches on the entire Gold Coast, which is brilliant for your dog and a lot of work for their coat. Pets Juicy is about ten minutes north in Miami, and we groom, wash and run daycare Tuesday to Saturday.

How far from Palm Beach

Nine to ten minutes north along the Gold Coast Highway, over Tallebudgera Creek and past Burleigh, to Mountain View Avenue, Miami. You'll find free street parking either side.

Pets Juicy, 1/22 Mountain View Avenue, Miami QLD 4220. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 8am to 4pm. We only take bookings online, which keeps things calm for the dogs.

For exact prices by size, head to the grooming, washing and daycare pages and book from there.

Built for Palm Beach dogs

Palm Beach has changed a lot and the dog culture has changed with it. Nineteenth Avenue has turned into a proper strip, the parklands along the creek get busy from six in the morning, and the beach itself is one of the few places on the Coast where your dog can legally run off-leash on sand.

That last point is the whole story for grooming here. An off-leash beach dog gets seriously sandy. Sand packs into the pads, behind the ears and into the armpits, and salt dries into the coat and pulls moisture out of the skin. On a double coat it compacts into matting in exactly the spots you don't think to check.

So Palm Beach dogs tend to run on a tighter cycle with us than inland dogs do: a full groom every six to eight weeks with a wash and blow dry in between. If your dog is on the sand most days, that middle appointment is doing real work rather than being an upsell. If they're not, we'll tell you to skip it.

The breeds we see most from Palm Beach

Around Palm Beach and Elanora we see plenty of Labradors, Staffies, Cavoodles, Border Collies and Kelpies, plus a good number of Golden Retrievers and the odd Rottweiler.

The double-coated dogs are the ones the beach is hardest on, and they're also the ones most often clipped when they shouldn't be. Our breed notes cover the detail: Kelpie grooming, Border Collie grooming, Golden Retriever grooming, Staffy grooming and the full breed library.

We don't offer hand stripping. If your wire-coated dog really needs it, we'll tell you rather than take the booking.

The off-leash beach, and what it does to a coat

This is the bit worth getting right, because Palm Beach is one of the few places the rules actually work in your favour.

Palm Beach is one of the three designated off-leash beach areas, alongside Tallebudgera just to the north and The Spit up the far end of the Coast. Tallebudgera Creek is the other obvious one for Palm Beach locals, and the parklands along the creek mouth are as good a dog walk as anywhere on the Gold Coast.

Practical advice from people who wash the results: rinse with fresh water before the coat dries if you possibly can. It won't get sand out of the undercoat and it won't replace a proper wash and blow dry, but it slows down the salt damage to the skin considerably, and it makes the next groom shorter and cheaper.
