Our story begins with a wagging tail

Welcome to Shampooches, your local Taranaki dog grooming service born from a deep love for dogs and a desire to create a nurturing, personal environment. We believe every dog deserves a gentle, stress-free grooming experience, tailored just for them.

A passion for pups and a personal touch

My journey into dog grooming with Shampooches was inspired by two great loves: an undeniable passion for dogs and the dream of building a business that allows me to work flexibly around my family. Based right here in Taranaki, New Zealand, Shampooches is more than just a grooming salon; it's a heartfelt venture dedicated to providing exceptional care while balancing life's commitments.

Stress-free grooming, one paw at a time

What truly sets Shampooches apart in Taranaki is our commitment to a dedicated one-on-one grooming service. We understand that for some dogs, a busy salon environment can be overwhelming. By focusing solely on one dog at a time, we eliminate potential stress and create a calm, reassuring experience, making grooming a positive adventure for your beloved companion.

Your dog, your way: expert care & listening ears

Ensuring every dog and their owner has a fantastic experience is at the heart of Shampooches. We pride ourselves on actively listening to your specific needs and preferences, offering expert advice, and tailoring each grooming session to suit your dog's individual temperament and breed. Your satisfaction and your dog's comfort are our top priorities.

"Shampooches always does such an amazing job, going above and beyond the care of each pooch in her care.  Always passionate about the job she does and sharing great compassion and advise.  So grateful to have a dog groomer for our boys that we can fully trust."
