About Sandy Paws Canine Care Centre

Sandy Paws Canine Care Centre is a dog grooming and care service on the Pacific Highway in Charlestown, in the Lake Macquarie area south of Newcastle. Founded by Madison, it brings together grooming, dog walking and outings under one roof, with a stated commitment to all dogs big and small.

The grooming menu runs from a straightforward Bath & Blow Dry through to a Premium Groom built around breed-specific clips, longer cuts and outline trims, so coats of different lengths and types are catered for. The team describes a gentler, safer approach for senior dogs and for dogs who find grooming difficult, with personalised care shaped around each dog's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. Beyond the grooming table, the centre offers dog walking drawn from more than ten years of experience, along with dog park and beach days for dogs who enjoy time out and about.

For local owners wanting grooming paired with exercise and a calmer experience for harder-to-groom dogs, Sandy Paws frames itself as a single place to cover both.
