Pretty Paws Pet Shop and Dog Grooming

Pretty Paws is a pet shop and dog grooming business in Doveton, run by Jan with her daughter. The grooming side has a long local following — several reviewers have been bringing their dogs for years, and one books an appointment every time they travel down from Canberra. The shop alongside it carries a decent range of pet products, and the advice that comes with them is mentioned almost as often as the grooming itself.

Value is the point customers raise most. Prices are described as very affordable, to the extent that one reviewer felt the service was worth more than what they paid. Beyond that the feedback is about care: attention to detail on each groom, unhurried time spent with every dog, and a clear affection for animals that shows in how the dogs are handled during a wash. Owners also note that dogs come home smelling good and that the service has been reliable over many years. It suits regular grooming on a modest budget, with the same familiar hands each time.
