Canal Paw Studio

Spa-quiet dog grooming on Prinsengracht, Amsterdam

Soft handling, unhurried baths, and canal-side calm — so your dog leaves looking polished and feeling settled.

Appointment-only on the canal

One dog at a time in a bright, teal-soft suite — no waiting-room rush, just patient coat care with Lotte Bakker.

A groom that begins with stillness

Every session opens with a gentle hello. We read your dog’s energy, listen for tension, and only then start bathing or trimming.

The pace works especially well for sensitive dogs, first-time visitors, and coats that need careful detangling without stress.

Meet Lotte Bakker

Full coat care for every size — classic finishes and soft styling, always adapted to the dog in the room.

Skin-friendly wash, thorough rinse, and patient drying for a fresh, comfortable coat.

Breed-aware or lifestyle styling shaped with scissors and clippers to your preference.

Careful mat work with pauses whenever your dog needs a reset.

Short, gentle first visits that build trust before a full groom.

Finishing care that keeps everyday comfort high between appointments.

Small transformations with plenty of attention — never a one-style-fits-all routine.

No haste. Each dog gets the time they need to settle before tools come out.

We look at character, coat condition, and comfort — not only the final silhouette.

Extra focus for curly coats, doodles, sensitive skin, and dogs who need detangling.

The goal: a beautiful finish and a dog who feels at ease when they leave.
