About The Salon at Pitter Patter Paws

The Salon at Pitter Patter Paws is a dog grooming salon on Racecourse Road in Flemington, in Melbourne's Moonee Valley. The salon takes a tailored approach, treating each dog as an individual and building the service around the dog's coat, size and temperament rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

The range runs from a straightforward Beauty Bath through to a full groom that covers bath, blow-dry, detailed trimming, nail clipping, ear cleaning and a hygiene check. There is also a Bath and Tidy for owners who want a freshen-up plus light work around the face, feet and sanitary areas, along with hand stripping for wire-coated breeds and de-shedding for double-coated dogs. The salon describes a calm, stress-free experience and makes a point of gentle handling for nervous dogs, which suits households whose pets find grooming day daunting.

For Flemington dog owners after grooming that is matched to the breed and the individual dog, this is a local salon worth a look.
