Four Paw

Four Paw is a dog and cat grooming salon on Enoggera Terrace in Red Hill, just west of Brisbane's CBD, where grooming has been the focus since 2003. After more than twenty years working with local pets, the team treats the work as care first and styling second, summed up in their own line: nothing means more to them than the animal on the table.

The approach leans gentle and unhurried. Pets are groomed on non-slip tables fitted with safety harnesses to reduce the chance of injury, and the salon avoids leaving animals waiting in confined spaces, which keeps stress down for nervous or first-time visitors. Coats are washed with environmentally friendly shampoos and conditioners, and every service is shaped around the individual pet's coat type, health and the owner's preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all cut. Dogs and cats of any size are welcome, from small breeds through to giant ones, and both short and long coats are catered for. Cats are seen on their own dedicated day.

For Brisbane owners who want a settled, experienced local groomer that handles the full range from a quick tidy to a breed-specific finish, Four Paw is a long-running option in the inner-north.
