Meet Sue

Hello, I’m Sue, founder and owner of Buddy & Beau Dog Grooming.

After a 25 year career in design and print, I decided to retrain professionally in dog grooming to combine my lifelong love of dogs with a career built around care, patience, and wellbeing.

My grooming philosophy is built around creating positive experiences for dogs through calm handling, patience, and trust.
