Newport
At The Dog Social Newport, we believe grooming should feel like a positive and relaxing experience for both dogs and their humans
Situated in the heart of Newport, our salon is surrounded by the laid-back coastal charm of the Northern Beaches. While your dog is enjoying their grooming appointment or spa treatment, you can explore nearby cafés, local shops and the beautiful beachside atmosphere
With convenient public parking directly in front of the salon, visits are designed to feel easy, practical and enjoyable from start to finish.
The result is a space that blends high-quality grooming and spa care with comfort, connection and a welcoming local community feel.
The Dog Social Promise
Genuine Connection
We believe great dog care is built on trust, communication and genuine relationships — not only with dogs, but with their humans too. Every dog is treated as an individual, with patience, understanding and care at the heart of every interaction.
Experienced Team
Across our locations, our grooming team brings together over 40 years of combined industry experience. Beyond technical skill, we approach dog care with a complete 360° mindset — considering not only grooming results, but each dog’s emotional wellbeing, comfort, behaviour and overall experience.
Community & Philosophy
We believe true premium care comes from experience, patience and understanding dogs on a deeper level. To serve, contribute and positively impact the wellbeing of dogs, their humans and the Newport community is at the heart of everything we do.
Personalised Experiences
We offer personalised experiences and guidance tailored to each pet’s individual needs — whether through grooming, boarding or ear cleaning. Our philosophy goes beyond simply providing a service. We believe in creating meaningful experiences and building trust with both dogs and their humans.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an appointment at The Dog Social Newport?
You can book online in a couple of minutes through our booking page, or contact the Newport salon directly on +61 434 982 819. We recommend booking ahead, especially around weekends and school holidays.
What should I bring to my dog's appointment?
Just your dog, on a secure lead or in a carrier if that’s what they’re used to. If your dog is on a specific diet or has particular sensitivities, let the team know when you arrive — or mention it in the notes when booking online.
How much does grooming cost?
NEEDS CLIENT INPUT — give a real price range or link to the pricing/packages page. Suggested pattern: “Pricing depends on your dog’s breed, size, and coat condition. See our Grooming Packages page for a full price guide, or get a quote when you book online.”
Is my dog safe during boarding?
Every dog in our care is looked after with the same individual attention as a grooming client — we get to know each dog’s temperament, comfort levels, and needs before they stay. If your dog has specific medical or behavioural needs, let the team know at the time of booking.
Do you groom all breeds and sizes?
NEEDS CLIENT INPUT — confirm any breed/size/temperament exclusions before publishing a blanket “yes.” If none: “Yes — our team is experienced across breeds, coat types, and sizes. If your dog has specific handling needs, mention them when you book so we can prepare.”
How often should my dog be groomed?
It depends on breed and coat type — some dogs need a groom every 4–6 weeks, others less often. If you’re not sure what’s right for your dog, ask the team when you book and they’ll recommend a schedule.
What happens if my dog is anxious or nervous around grooming?
Our team works at your dog’s pace and adjusts the appointment where needed — patience and reading each dog’s comfort level is part of how we approach every service, not just the difficult ones. Let us know in advance if your dog has had a hard time with grooming before.
