Pawdressers

Pawdressers is a dog grooming salon at 2/303 Liverpool Street in Darlinghurst, within easy reach of Surry Hills, Potts Point and the Sydney CBD. The salon takes a one-on-one, unhurried approach to grooming, working with dogs of all breeds and sizes and putting comfort ahead of speed.

The defining feature is a fully cage-free setup, where dogs are free to relax between grooming stages rather than being crated, which the salon frames as central to its low-stress philosophy. That makes it a natural fit for nervous or sensitive dogs and for puppies easing into their first grooms. The team is well versed in breed-specific styling and has built a particular reputation with Cavoodles. A full groom covers a body cut or de-shedding treatment along with a bath, conditioning, blow-dry, ear cleaning, nail work with a Dremel and brushing, while a lighter wash and blow-dry suits well-maintained, short-haired dogs. Small-group daycare and overnight boarding round out the offering for regular clients.

Grooming is run by appointment, with new clients asked to call first for a short consultation about their dog's needs.
