Although it’s been around for just four months, Pet House has already got users on Dianping.com howling approval. Open daily from 10am to 10pm, the two-story pet-grooming parlor is decked out in bright white. The first floor is mainly for shopping; assorted kennels and beds, local and imported dog foods, healthcare products, colorful doggy-wear and cute accessories – such as Superman outfits and Tinker Bell wings – are all on display.
The second floor is where the magic happens. Contained in the 20-square-meter room is a grooming table with a vacuum-like dryer underneath, a bathtub with a water heater hung above and a small desk for pre-bathing procedures like manicures and ear cleaning. “Pet grooming service is what makes the shop notable,” says owner Mr. Xu, a 20-something Nanjinger who has devoted himself to animal care for nearly three years. Xu gradually learned his trade while working as an assistant in another pet-grooming shop in Guangzhou two years ago, before starting his own enterprise.
Even a simple scrub down comes with choices: the shop provides regular baths (RMB58-148), herbal baths for puppies with skin problems (RMB88-208) and premium spas, which include extra conditioner (RMB128-248). Prices vary according to the size of the dog and all washes are performed with the highly rated Japanese brand, Pet Esthé. Grooming services include nail trimming, hairdressing, fur coloring and nail painting. Customers can opt for the full service or select two or three options, and prices are reasonable (RMB188-428) when compared to similar establishments in Zhujiang New Town.
Besides looking fabulous, pooches can also learn some manners. Dog owners can enroll dogs here to receive basic training (15 days, RMB2,200-2,600), behavior correction (30 days, RMB4,600-4,900) and advanced obedience (45 days, RMB6,600-6,900). During the classes, dogs are required to live with Mr. He, a veteran trainer with over six years experience.
After getting primped at Pet House, your beloved companion will definitely have other animal lovers saying woof!
