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.

I trained in Dorset alongside experienced groomers under the tuition of Sue Gould, completing my City & Guilds qualification and further specialist training covering coat care, health and safety, salon management, and first aid.

When I opened Buddy & Beau in 2019, I knew I wanted to create something very different from the busy, conveyor belt style salons many dogs can find overwhelming. I wanted dog grooming near Banbury to feel calmer, more personal, and genuinely centred around each dog’s comfort and emotional wellbeing.

Today, Buddy & Beau has grown into a trusted countryside grooming studio where dogs are given the time, patience, and understanding they deserve.

Welfare first

Calm Care, Expert Grooming & Welfare First

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

Every dog is different, and I believe grooming should always be approached with kindness, understanding, and respect for the individual dog in front of you. Some dogs love the process immediately, while others need a little more time and reassurance to feel comfortable, and that’s completely okay.

Alongside creating a calm experience, I’m passionate about maintaining healthy coats, skin, and overall wellbeing through realistic grooming routines and honest advice for owners at home.

Above all else, welfare always comes first.
