About us
We’re a little bit obsessed with dogs
Suds & Snouts started in 2017 with one tub, one dryer and one very muddy Labrador called Moose. Today we’re a team of three groomers, two tubs and a lounge full of happy, wet dogs. Moose is now our Boss.
Our promise
Grooming should feel like a spa day, not a dentist
Most dogs don’t love being groomed. Our job is to make it the best part of their week anyway. That means taking it slow, reading each dog, and never forcing it.
- No cages, ever. Dogs wait in our lounge, on beds, with company.
- Fear-free certified. Low noise, slow handling and breaks when they need them.
- One dog per groomer. Nobody is rushed, least of all your dog.
- Gentle products. Natural, low-scent and safe for sensitive skin.

Meet the Groomers
Three people who chose a job where they get sprayed with water and covered in fur every day, and would do it all again.
