Grooming that Looks and Feels Good
At Vet HQ, we treat grooming like the meaningful experience it is. It’s gentle and mindful, where your pet’s sense of safety matters every bit as much as their shiny coat. Our groomers are thorough and patient, particularly for pets who find the whole situation deeply suspicious.
Whether your dog needs a summer clip, your cat has knots that need untangling, or skin allergies call for a medicated bath, we ensure every pet feels safe, settled, and cared for throughout their visit.
Gentle Handling Backed by Veterinary Know-How
Being inside a veterinary hospital means extra eyes on your pet’s health. When our groomers notice something – inflamed skin, a tender ear, or a small lump – we point it out, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Every aspect of the grooming process takes into account your pet’s unique needs. We adapt our methods to suit their skin condition, coat type and personality, because one approach doesn’t fit all.
Ready for a tidy-up that prioritises health and kindness? Schedule your pet’s next groom today.

We have been bringing our pets to Vet Hq in Darlinghurst for almost a decade because, simply, they are the best! Dr Jess Green treats all her patients with thoroughness, compassion and true care. The entire nursing team are also spectacular and we will not be taking our pets anywhere else as long as Vet Hq is around.

The team at Vet HQ Darlinghurst are amazing! Everyone is so friendly and caring, and they really take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable. The vets explain things clearly and you can tell they truly love animals. The clinic is clean and welcoming, and I always feel my pet is in the best hands.

Best Vet Clinic! Oh My Gosh, I owe these guys everything, if it wasn’t for this clinic, I wouldn’t have my WylieCat anymore.
My cat fell out a window, 6 storeys down to concrete, & although he didn’t break bones, he broke his insides, especially his liver. The dedication of care…

We had a seriously wonderful experience here. The team is so friendly, thorough in their explanations for their care, and knowledgeable. I so appreciate a doctor taking the time to educate me as an owner; there’s no better feeling than being an informed decision maker and owner. Our golden retriever, Leo, had the best care…

I have had dogs from the day I was born. I’ve lost track of the number of veterinarian practices I have dealt with . Vet HQ Double Bay is the best practice ever. Full stop. From the reception staff, to the nurses, to the vets, and to Geoff – the best of the best. Look no further for the most caring team on the planet

FAQs for our Vet HQ family
Do you offer pet grooming in both Darlinghurst and Double Bay?
Yes. You’ll find the same gentle and thorough grooming approach at both Vet HQ locations across Sydney.
Can you help if my dog gets anxious during grooming?
Absolutely. We use slow, deliberate movements, calm voices and positive reinforcement. Many nervous dogs surprise their owners by settling beautifully once they realise we’re not rushing them.
Do you provide medicated baths for skin allergies?
Yes. Our vets and groomers collaborate to choose therapeutic shampoos that soothe itchy, irritated, or allergy-prone skin, eliminating guesswork.
Is it safe to groom my elderly pet?
Yes. We adjust appointment lengths, handling techniques, and positioning to keep senior pets comfortable and stress-free throughout their grooming.
Does Vet HQ offer cat grooming services?
We do. Our team has experience with gentle feline handling, mat removal and hygiene grooms for cats who’d rather be anywhere else.
How often should my pet visit a groomer?
Most pets benefit from grooming every 6–8 weeks; however, long-haired breeds and pets with skin conditions often require more frequent attention.
