Quiet tempo
No haste, no pressure. Each dog gets the time they need to settle before tools come out.
About Mila de Vries
Care, quiet, and respect for every dog — the heart behind Amstel Paw Studio.
Hi, I am Mila
Dogs are my daily work and my lasting passion. For years I have looked after their comfort, coat health, and how they feel in the room — with special attention for coats that need extra time and guests who arrive a little unsure.
I live with a soft-coated companion of my own and spend many mornings walking along the Amstel. Every dog arrives with a different personality: some bounce in happily; others need a slower hello. I never rush that moment.
My mission is simple: after every visit your dog should look beautifully cared for — and feel happy, relaxed, and comfortable enough to come back gladly.
How I work
A small transformation with a lot of attention — body language first, scissors second.
Personal attention
I look at character, coat, behaviour, and comfort — not only the final silhouette.
Coat-aware care
Extra focus for mats, wire coats, curly coats, sensitive skin, and high-maintenance fur.
Happy & comfortable
The goal: a beautiful finish and a dog who feels at ease when they leave.
