Pawcasso Park - Boronia

Pawcasso Park is a dog and cat grooming salon on Boronia Road in Boronia, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, run as both a working salon and a grooming school. Alongside the day-to-day grooming, the team trains everyone from owners wanting to tidy their own dog through to aspiring professional groomers, which keeps a steady eye on technique and finish.

The salon is set up as an open space where the grooming happens in full view rather than behind closed doors, so owners can see how their pet is handled. Both dogs and cats are catered for, including cats with knotted or matted coats that need specialist clipping. Work ranges from a straightforward wash through to a full groom with body trim, plates of hygiene and nail work, and even creative hair colouring for white-coated dogs with the right temperament. A staged puppy introduction option helps younger animals settle into the routine.

With a second location in Clayton South and a team that describes its work as carrying a little touch of class, Pawcasso Park suits owners who want a transparent, hands-on salon close to Knox.
