Heavenly Paws Dog Grooming & Washing

Heavenly Paws Dog Grooming & Washing is a small grooming salon in Gateshead, just south of Newcastle, where Bella and her team handle the appointments. Doodle crosses feature heavily in its feedback, from a groodle given a shorter cut for summer to a cavoodle who started with puppy grooms as a young dog and now gets excited on the way in. Several reviewers arrived after unhappy experiences elsewhere, including one owner who tried four groomers after moving back to Newcastle before settling here.

Three things come up again and again: clear communication, drop-off and pick-up that runs smoothly, and value for what is charged. Owners of dogs that are a handful say they were accommodated without fuss and the dog still had a good time. Gentle handling of young dogs through their first grooms is mentioned more than once, which makes it a sensible starting point for puppies as well as for adult doodle coats that need clipping on a regular cycle.
