Vanity Paws Grooming and Boutique

Vanity Paws Grooming and Boutique is a dog grooming salon at Heatley, in Townsville's western suburbs. The work customers single out most often involves coats that are difficult to get right. A Siberian Husky owner credits the team with doing an amazing job on a heavy double coat, and schnauzer owners have brought their dogs in for full grooms after several months of growth between appointments.

Where the feedback is warmest it tends to be about handling rather than styling. Owners of dogs that are wary of grooming salons, including one that had a poor experience at a previous salon, say their dog now goes through a groom without much complaint. Puppy owners describe similar patience with young dogs that are not yet easy to work on, with one saying the team looked after a difficult puppy better than expected. It suits owners of double-coated breeds, schnauzers, and dogs that need a groomer willing to take their time.
