About Dog Grooming Adelaide ~ Paws of Distinction
Paws of Distinction is a fixed-location dog grooming salon in Beulah Park, in Adelaide's City of Burnside, that has been grooming local dogs since April 2014. The salon focuses on careful, hands-on grooming rather than mobile washing, and it states plainly that it is not a mobile dog wash service.
The team brings a deep well of experience to the bench. Marlene, one of the groomers, has over 45 years of salon dog grooming behind her along with a background in Irish Setter breeding and showing and in veterinary nursing, while Tim has owned the salon since 2022 after training as a groomer. Their stated aim is a professional and caring service for both dog and owner, delivering quality grooms in a safe and happy environment. Grooms range from a simple wash and brush through to a full wash, clip and tidy, with breed-specific trims available and the option to use a dog's own shampoo and conditioner when needed. Every groom includes a warm bath, blow dry, nail trim, ear cleaning and anal gland expression at no extra charge.
The salon currently notes it is unable to take on new big coated dogs, so smaller and short-coated dogs are the best fit at present.
