“Our reactive fox terrier Teddy loved his first visit to Suzy. She totally understands his need to be the only dog in the salon and she made sure he felt confident and comfortable before starting the groom. Teddy was happy and relaxed when I collected him, looking super smart with his close winter crop.”
“We gave her a real challenge when we brought Roger to her the first time as he was way past due a groom. Roger can be a little nervous of leaving us but seemed at ease with Suzy immediately. The cuts he has had have been great and he always comes out looking handsome and happy.”
“Suzy was so kind, caring and absolutely great with Teddy my border terrier. . Teddy was hand stripped, he came out looking so smart and smelling lovely. Teddy was so relaxed, suzy said he nearly dozed off on the table.”
“Suzy is an excellent groomer & our little dog loves going to see her. … Suzy is very professional and we know when we leave our little dog with her she will be safe. … She gets booked up very quickly so I usually book up a whole year in advance.”
“Suzy has always been super friendly and professional, and her grooms are always at a high standard which we can never fault her work. Our dog Smudge always comes out looking gorgeous with a big smile on his face and a waggy happy tail.”
“Took my 6 month Pomeranian pup for her first grooming session today. Suzy really took her time to ensure she had a really positive first experience. My pup now looks & smells amazing, highly recommend!”
