grooming treatments
It all starts with a luxurious bath
A great groom starts with a great bath. At Dogo Sapien, we linger a little longer on the bath and blow dry to ensure your dogos coat is perfectly prepared for a superior groom. We start with a double shampoo and finish with a nourishing conditioner to deep cleanse the coat and skin, and your dogo is dried completely with a warm dryer, complete with a good brush and comb. A nail clip and gentle ear cleanse are included and we finish with a natural conditioning spray and a spritz of natural cologne.
We use only the best products. Our Australian made shampoo and conditioning range is formulated to exacting specifications utilising natural plant-derived ingredients and no hidden nasties. It is gentle yet effective resulting in optimal coat conditioning and shine. Gentle on our dogos, our people and the planet.
We have a first class team of highly skilled dog loving bathers and stylists, state of the art equipment at our beautiful Torquay spa. The relaxed happy vibe makes the grooming experience a lovely one for our dogo guests and our team. Happy groomer, happy dogo, happy days.

GIANT BREEDS
Due to the specialist nature of grooming larger dogs like Newfoundland and Bernese Mountain Dogs, we are unfortunately unable to provide grooming services to dogs over 55 kilos. We have given this careful consideration in relation to the health and safety of the team, our facility and equipment and find that we are not in a position to offer this service.
