About Pawsum

Pawsum is a pet grooming salon and doggy daycare on Norton Street in Leichhardt, in Sydney's inner west. Alongside dogs, the team grooms cats and smaller companions such as rabbits and guinea pigs, working from the premise that every pet is unique with its own needs and quirks.

Grooming runs from a quick express wash through to a full body styling, with services scaled to a dog's size and tailored to the individual animal rather than a fixed template. Cat grooming covers everything from a thorough brush and de-shed to clipping, nail trims and sanitary work, priced by the time it takes. The daycare side is a cageless setup built around attentive, stimulating play and regular walks, with new dogs first given a complimentary assessment to check they settle in comfortably. The salon also runs an intensive pet styling course for those wanting to learn the craft.

With a team that brings more than twenty years of combined experience, Pawsum suits owners after grooming and day care under one roof close to home.
