About Capital Paws Pet Care
Capital Paws Pet Care is a Canberra dog grooming studio based in Holt, ACT, run by Emma, a qualified pet stylist who is also a veterinary nurse. The grooming side is built around a handful of clearly defined services, from a quick Splash & Dash and the maintenance-focused Bubble Me Fresh wash through to full styling work under Neat & Sweet, the lower-maintenance Easy Care Clip, and the Style Groom for breed-standard trims, teddy bear cuts and hand scissoring. A dedicated De-Shedding service rounds out the coat work.
The studio leans heavily on Emma's clinical background. With fifteen years across animal handling, behaviour, and emergency and critical care nursing, she offers a Special Considerations option for pets that are nervous, reactive, medically challenged or recovering from surgery, alongside grooming that can be tailored to anxious dogs. Every groom follows a consistent routine of double shampoo, conditioning, ear and teeth cleaning, nail tidying, a warm fluff dry, and a finishing spritz of pet-safe cologne. Pricing is structured by size and coat type, with discounted rates for VIP members through the LUXE Paws membership.
This is a single-stylist operation with a strong veterinary-nursing foundation, suited to owners who want careful, individual attention rather than a high-volume salon.
