PAWPADSZ

PAWPADSZ is a grooming and doggy daycare service at Falcon, in the City of Mandurah, where Marg does the grooming. Owners describe a groomer who listens to what is actually wanted for each dog and then delivers it - soft coats, clean clips and dogs that come home smelling good are the most common notes. Several clients bring more than one dog on a standing basis, and one has six on the books.

Calmness is what comes up most. Reviewers repeatedly describe Marg's manner as gentle and unhurried, and their dogs as settled both on arrival and afterwards. That extends to the harder cases: owners of very senior dogs, one aged seventeen, and of a dog who could not previously be approached with scissors say the groom now happens without a struggle. Daycare alongside grooming is also mentioned, with owners citing peace of mind about the environment. It suits anxious or reactive dogs, older pets, and doodle crossbreeds on a regular clip cycle.
