She goes above and beyond to ensure that every furry friend leaves looking sharp and smelling sweet, just like her own beloved Border Collies. Suzie's dedication to her business is matched only by her commitment to training her staff. She instils in them the same compassion for dogs and their owners that she embodies, ensuring that every customer receives the exceptional service they deserve.
