Meet Gil, the Trailblazing Dog Groomer of Bundaberg
For over a decade, I've dedicated my life to the art and science of dog grooming. As a certified groomer with a passion for pampering pooches, I've earned a reputation as Bundaberg's best – and for good reason.
A Legacy of Excellence
My commitment to excellence has certainly made its mark. I'm humbled and honored to have received numerous accolades over the years, including awards from local newspapers and animal charities, recognizing my dedication to the craft of dog grooming and animal welfare.
But the true measure of my success lies in the consistent 5-star Google reviews from delighted pet parents across Wide Bay – the highest rating for any dog grooming business in the region! It's the trust and loyalty I've earned from countless furry companions and their families that truly fills me with pride.
Bobby and Gizmo: My Inspiration
My two adorable mixed breeds, Bobby and Gizmo, are the loves of my life and the inspiration behind my work. They remind me every day why I do what I do: to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and looking their absolute best.

Australia's First Live-Streaming Salon
In a pioneering move, I've made my salon the first in Australia to offer live streaming. Why? Because transparency and trust are paramount. Just like a kindergarten provides live camera feeds for parents to check on their little ones, I believe pet parents deserve the same peace of mind. With VIP DOG, you can watch your beloved companion being pampered in real-time, ensuring their safety and happiness throughout the grooming process.
My vision extends beyond my salon. I'm on a mission to revolutionize the dog grooming industry across Australia. I envision a future where every salon offers live streaming, giving pet parents complete comfort and confidence in their groomer's services. It's time to shift the focus from simply making dogs pretty to prioritizing their overall well-being.

Innovation & Difference
Partnering with Veterinary Practices
Recognizing the crucial link between grooming and pet health, I work closely with veterinary practices. By providing vets with detailed grooming reports and footage, I empower them to make informed decisions about their patients' grooming needs.
TubSafe: Pioneering Pet Safety
Safety is my top priority. That's why I created TubSafe, a brand dedicated to providing patented and trademarked pet grooming safety products. Another industry first, TubSafe ensures every grooming experience is as safe as it is enjoyable.
