About Sandy Paws Pet Care
Sandy Paws Dog Grooming is an independent dog grooming salon in Reservoir, in Darebin's north, that has been grooming the suburb's dogs since 2011. The focus is a calm, stress-free visit for every dog rather than a busy production line.
The salon is described as usually peaceful and quiet, give or take the occasional welcome bark when a new dog arrives. Dogs are either settled separately in playpens or left to roam freely when it is safe to do so, and the salon never cage-dries. Dogs that are anxious or sensitive to the dryer may be left to air-dry slightly damp so their comfort comes first, which makes the salon a sensible fit for nervous or reactive dogs as well as easygoing regulars. A full groom typically takes around four hours, with pickup times planned around each dog's coat and temperament.
With more than a decade in the same trade and a strong run of local reviews, Sandy Paws reads as a steady, owner-run option for Reservoir dog owners who want their pup handled patiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dog grooming take at Sandy Paws?
A groom usually takes about four hours. Pickup times can vary based on the dog's needs and the amount of work involved, so if a specific pickup time is needed it helps to let the salon know when booking.
Does Sandy Paws cage-dry dogs?
No. The salon never cage-dries. If a dog is anxious or sensitive to the dryer, it may be left to air-dry slightly damp to keep the dog comfortable.
Is Sandy Paws suitable for anxious dogs?
The salon aims for a calm, stress-free grooming experience and is usually peaceful and quiet. Dogs are housed separately in playpens or allowed to roam freely when it is safe, and the no-cage-dry approach is geared toward sensitive dogs.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations or reschedules require a minimum of 24 hours' notice. A $15 fee per dog applies for late cancellations or no-shows, and missing two appointments in a row may require a hold to keep a future spot.
Why do grooming prices vary?
All prices are approximate and may vary based on the dog's behaviour, size, coat condition, grooming difficulty and the amount of coat to be worked through.
What happens if fleas are found during grooming?
If fleas are discovered during grooming, the salon will administer a flea treatment to prevent spread within the salon, with no exceptions. A flea rinse and tablet is $15.
