PAWZ.Life mobile grooming

PAWZ.Life is a mobile dog grooming service run by Ivan, based at Ormond in Melbourne's south-east and travelling to clients rather than working from a shopfront. The dogs named in reviews skew large and heavy-coated, including a german shepherd, a boxer and a long-haired malamute, and owners of the bigger breeds note that a demanding job is handled without fuss.

Patience is the quality clients name most often. Reviewers with nervous dogs describe each step being taken slowly, with the dog settled before the work continues, and the groom finished efficiently once things are under way. Flexible appointment times come up repeatedly, as does pricing that owners considered fair for the amount of coat involved. Dogs are commonly described as coming home fresh, properly dried and relaxed rather than rattled. It suits large and thick-coated breeds, and dogs that cope better being groomed at home than in a busy salon.
