Berwick Paws

Berwick Paws is a family-run grooming business in Narre Warren South, in Melbourne's south-east, where customers name Pat and Emily as the people doing the work. Its reputation in reviews rests on transformations: dogs arriving badly matted and going home with a clean, even cut, described more than once as looking like a puppy again. Cavoodles come up specifically, along with coat work timed around the seasons, taking a coat back before the warm weather so it grows in right for winter.

Beyond the haircut, feedback dwells on gentleness and on being told things. Owners mention leaving with practical advice about their dog's coat and needs rather than just a finished trim, and long-term clients have reviewed year after year calling it their first choice. Trustworthy and reliable are the words that recur, alongside the sense that the dogs are handled as though they belonged to the groomers. It suits owners of doodle crosses and any dog whose coat has got away from them.
