Petite Paws Dog Grooming Salon

Petite Paws Dog Grooming Salon is a small owner-run salon at Keperra, in Brisbane's north-west, where Celia does the grooming herself. The work customers write about most is the full groom: coats that had been left to grow out coming back neat and properly finished, with before-and-after photos posted to make the point. A striking share of the reviews are from first-time clients, several bringing a dog for its very first groom.

Attention to detail is the phrase that surfaces again and again in feedback, together with a sense that appointments are not rushed. Owners describe Celia as knowledgeable about what a particular coat needs and willing to talk it through, and more than one mentions their dog settling in happily — one puppy stayed on afterwards for a play with the resident dog. Pricing is described as fair, though no figures appear. It suits owners of small dogs, puppies due for a first groom, and dogs that have gone too long between appointments.
