Paw Print Grooming

Paw Print Grooming is a dog grooming salon in Parkinson, in Brisbane's south, where Tony does the grooming. Its reviews skew towards big, heavy-coated dogs: a husky whose owner had been turned away by other groomers, a Samoyed, and golden retrievers, alongside smaller work such as a Maltese wash and cut. Before-and-after photos posted by clients do a lot of the talking, with more than one describing the change in their dog as hard to believe.

Two things come up beyond the finish itself. The first is patience — Tony is described as good-natured with dogs who need extra time, and friendly from the booking call through to pick-up. The second is value, which several reviewers call reasonable, though no one quotes a figure. One owner was able to see her Samoyed in the salon when she arrived to collect her and found the dog relaxed and happy. It suits large and double-coated breeds, dogs having their very first groom, and owners who like being able to see where their dog is worked on.
