For the Love of Paws Dog Groomer

For the Love of Paws is a small dog grooming service run by Laura in Box Hill, in Melbourne's east. Reviewers most often name her work on West Highland whites, with several regulars calling her their go-to person for westie coats, alongside schnauzers and other small breeds. Feedback repeatedly points to dramatic before-and-after transformations, including coats that had grown out badly over long stretches between grooms, and a face-and-beard finish owners are keen to photograph before the dog gets to it.

Patience is the quality customers name again and again. Owners describe a groomer who clearly loves dogs and handles each one as though it were her own, and more than one mentions a dog that looks forward to the car trip to Box Hill rather than dreading it. First grooms are handled gently: one owner brought in a seventeen-week-old schnauzer puppy and came away with a calm, well-trimmed dog. It suits owners of small coated breeds, westie owners in particular, and puppies having their first clip.
