In her own words 'At Designer Pawz every dog is top of it's class! We offer a professional, quality & complete dog grooming service and the finished result is a happy, calm, clean and Stylish client!' We have just installed a mosaic water feature outside Designer Pawz simply to cater for our thirsty doggie clients who may be walking past our shop on their way back from the beach. Our water fountain is free and some of our dog visitors even choose to sit in it to cool down!


Designer Pawz Pet Spa is ozonated with heppa filtration to kill all bacteria and diseases on the spot, and your pets get a healthy dose of pure ozone. The layout is open, and lends a comfortable feeling. Our prices are very competitive and thus we have a broad client base in the Helderberg area, Stellenbosch and people as far as Cape Town feel we are worth the 40min drive considering the exceptional care their pets get at our Doggie Spa'.
