Kanine Studio

Kanine Studio is a grooming studio in Mount Hawthorn, just north of the Perth CBD, run by a groomer clients call Kat. What sets it apart in its reviews is formal credentials in an industry that largely has none — customers point to her qualifications and to awards won in grooming competitions, and several have been coming on a regular cycle for three years or more.

Miniature schnauzer owners describe both maintenance hand-stripping and preparation for the show ring, with Kat handling their dogs in the ring as well; a labradoodle owner says the coat was cut the way they wanted from the very first appointment. Attention to detail is the phrase that comes up most, alongside coats that stay healthy and soft between visits, a spotless studio, appointment reminders that arrive on time, and a willingness to explain coat care. Reviewers also mention a parking bay directly out the front that makes drop-off and pick-up easy. It suits wire-coated and doodle breeds, show dogs, and owners after one consistent long-term groomer.
