About Pawparazzi Pet Braddon
Pawparazzi Pet is a dog grooming salon paired with a small pet boutique on Lonsdale Street in Braddon, the inner-Canberra precinct, working by appointment from a shopfront at number 30. Grooming covers the practical fundamentals such as bathing, drying, deshedding, nail trimming and dematting, with the salon's own guidance leaning hard on coat type rather than one-size-fits-all clipping.
The approach reads as careful rather than rushed. The team grooms within each dog's comfort level, using gentle handling, patience and frequent breaks for nervous animals, and generally prefers owners not to stay during the appointment since most dogs settle better without them nearby. Puppies are welcomed from around twelve to sixteen weeks to build early positive habits, and senior or special-needs dogs are taken on with extra care once their health is flagged. Products are chosen per dog from professional brands including Igroom, Plush Puppy, Hyponic, Iv San Bernard and Pet Esthe, matched to skin sensitivity and coat condition.
Safety, health and comfort come first throughout, and the salon is upfront that a groom may be modified or declined when it would be unsafe or too stressful.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my dog be groomed?
It depends on breed, coat type, lifestyle and home maintenance. As a general guide, curly and oodle coats every 4 to 6 weeks, long silky coats every 4 to 6 weeks, double coats every 6 to 8 weeks, and short coats every 6 to 10 weeks. Regular grooming maintains skin health, coat condition and comfort.
Will my dog need to be shaved if they are matted?
Not always, but severe matting may require clipping the coat short for welfare reasons. Brushing out dense matting can be painful, damage the skin, cause stress and take excessive time, so the dog's comfort and safety come first.
What happens if my dog is anxious during grooming?
Many dogs feel nervous during grooming, especially puppies or dogs with limited experience. The salon uses gentle handling, patience and frequent breaks when needed, and keeps the work within each dog's comfort level.
At what age should puppies start grooming?
Puppies can be introduced to grooming from around 12 to 16 weeks old, depending on vaccination status. Early grooming helps them get comfortable with brushing, bathing, drying, clipping sounds, nail trimming and handling, which leads to calmer adult dogs.
Can I stay and watch during grooming?
For most dogs, grooming is less stressful when owners are not present, as dogs often become anxious or excited seeing their owners nearby. The team will contact owners if needed during the appointment.
Do you groom elderly or special-needs dogs?
Yes. Senior and special-needs dogs are welcome and their comfort and safety are prioritised. Owners should inform staff of conditions such as arthritis, heart issues, seizures, anxiety, lumps or mobility problems, and extra care may involve additional fees. A groom may be modified or refused if it would be unsafe or too stressful.
What products do you use?
Professional grooming products are selected for each dog based on coat type, skin sensitivity, coat condition and breed requirements. Brands used include Igroom, Plush Puppy, Hyponic, Iv San Bernard and Pet Esthe, sourced from reputable Australian suppliers.
How long does a grooming appointment take?
Appointment times vary with breed and coat type, coat condition, the grooming style requested and the dog's behaviour and tolerance. Most appointments range between 2 and 4 hours.
