About Pawz Ink

Pawz Ink is a dog and cat grooming boutique on Intrepid Street in Berwick, run by third-generation groomer Kyle Tatti, who brings 34 years of hands-on experience to the bench. Alongside grooming, the salon offers doggy day care and a small in-store pet boutique, with an online store on the way.

The approach here leans heavily on patience and temperament. Appointments typically run two to three hours so each pet gets unhurried, individual attention, and the team is comfortable working with anxious or difficult dogs that other groomers have turned away. As they put it, they take the time to train pets to tolerate, and ideally enjoy, grooming using behavioural tactics and a calm, gentle manner. Cats are catered for with a separate gentle grooming service, and pre-visit consultations are available for owners who want to talk things through first. That makes it a sensible fit for nervous pets, cats, and households that value a measured pace over a quick turnaround.

Grooming is by appointment only, and the salon recommends booking every six to eight weeks to keep coats in easy, affordable condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are dog grooming appointments at Pawz Ink?

Most appointments run two to three hours, and some may take up to four. The time varies with the pet's temperament, coat condition, and the flow of the day, as the salon prioritises individual attention.

Does Pawz Ink groom anxious or aggressive pets?

Yes. The team accepts anxious and aggressive pets and uses behavioural techniques with a calm, loving approach. They believe all pets can learn to at least tolerate grooming patiently, and have successfully worked with pets previously rejected by other groomers.

How often should I book a grooming appointment?

Every six to eight weeks is suggested as a good interval, depending on the season and your pet's activity level. Regular grooming keeps maintenance cheaper than letting a coat reach a state that needs rehabilitation.

Does Pawz Ink groom cats?

Yes. The salon offers gentle, expert cat grooming as a separate service alongside its dog grooming.

Do I need an appointment, and what payment is accepted?

Grooming is by appointment only. The salon accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, cash, and EFTPOS.

What happens if I'm late to pick up my pet?

A care fee of $10 per hour applies beyond the agreed pick-up time, for both grooming and doggy day care, so the team can keep things running for other clients.
