Paw Palace
Hidden away in a nondescript building in Causeway Bay, Paw Palace is quite literally as it says—a little palace for pooches. Decorated in pretty pink, dogs are invited into the Japanese salon to unwind and feel the serene benefits of the surroundings. Calm music creates the ambiance while a Japanese pebbled entrance leads the way to the salon area. Each experience is personalised depending on the dog to ensure the best outcome. Guests leave with a print-out photo of their spoiled pup amid a themed backdrop (changes monthly) and a card with a checklist of results from the experience—i.e. skin condition, fur type, etc.

Pawsmetic
Taking a medical approach to grooming, Pawsmetic is part of a vet clinic group with one located around the corner from its location. The groomers treat small and large dogs here and point out if there are any health conditions—particularly with skincare—noted during the grooming process, which follows with any recommendations on how to treat it. This results-oriented treatment ensures that your pet gets the best of both worlds, with a vet-backed approach. Pawsmetic is looking into opening its second branch later this year. In the meantime, its Jordan establishment is the perfect one-stop-shop to grooming and pet necessities.
