City of Paws Pet Grooming

City of Paws is a pet grooming salon in Williamstown, in Melbourne's inner west, working with cats as well as dogs — cat grooming is one of the few services reviewers name outright, and it is not something every salon nearby takes on. Mandy leads a small team, and the work ranges from routine washes and clips through to tidying up coats that have been neglected before adoption. One owner describes a rescue dog whose coat was in poor condition looking like a completely different animal afterwards.

The premises come up almost as often as the grooming. Customers describe it as clean, comfortable and welcoming, which is what makes them confident about leaving a pet there for the first time. Staff are consistently called friendly and professional, and more than one reviewer notes their dog seemed relaxed and in no hurry to leave at pick-up. It suits cat owners looking for a groomer who will take them, and dogs new to the salon environment.
