Hi, I’m Vicky — the founder of Collar & Comb. I started this parlour in 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic. I’d had enough of a 9-to-5 job that left me feeling flat. I knew it was time to do something I truly loved.
My love for animals started it all. We’ve grown fast since then, and every cut, we get just right. Collar & Comb has won Best of Ballito six years running — 2020 through 2025.
“Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.”
Every pet here gets treated like family. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-baby.
Cut by hand, just right
We cut every coat by hand to match your dog’s breed and keep them cool in the Ballito heat. We never rush the job.
Gentle on skin, always
We use warm water and gentle soap. Our team is calm and kind. It’s great for pets with sensitive skin or nerves.
Drop-offs from 08H00
Book online or on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm your time fast. Drop off your dog, then come back for a fresh, happy pup.
No sales talk here. Just what we do, and what Ballito’s pet parents say about us.
years of experience
Our team has over 10 years of skill. We take great care of your fur-baby, every time.

“Walking into Collar & Comb felt like walking into a 5-star hotel for pets—no exaggeration! Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, patient, and clearly passionate about animals.”
“Our baby is a bit nervous when being groomed and they are gentle, patient and take good care of her. I love that she gets a fashionable neck tie when she gets groomed too.”
“The front of house staff were so kind and friendly, and chatted to us about what kind of cut we wanted for her. The groomers did such a great job, she looks absolutely beautiful with her fresh cut!”
“I’ve been taking my Toy Poms to Collar & Comb for years. Both my little doggies were happy and well taken care of by their lovely and friendly staff.”
“I have been with them since they first opened and found them to be the most professional, yet down to earth, loving people to deal with.”
“Awesome place. Super friendly and they do a really great job. I don’t know how they get my dog so clean.”
