Look no further, you're not going to find a better groomer than Diva Dogs! My precious Cavoodle has been groomed by Sue for the last five years or so and I wouldn't trust any other groomer. I no longer even have to specify how I'd like my dog cut, I have that much faith in Sue's abilities that I just know that my dog is going to look a million bucks by the end of her appointment. I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed. My dog has allergies and very sensitive skin and Sue has always carefully managed this, making sure to use non-soap products - even my dog's dermatologist has been

I feel like I have won Tattslotto .. We have been battling with grooming for our 2 Poms for months and then I was recommended to go to diva dogs.. I must say Sue is a miracle worker our dogs usually are very… nervous and hard to groom I saw a video of 2 calm dogs that I couldn’t believe were ours. The grooming is fantastic and they have never been calmer .. thanks for your calmness Sue it certainly worked on our dogs.. Owner Sue W 😊

Sue has been grooming our Max since he was a pup, and he is now approaching 16. Sue also has looked after him when we travel. Sue has always been fantastic in her care and work quality. We do not, and wont use anyone else as she has a real care for our dog that goes beyond what you might expect from others. She has even identified health issues in Max that we werent aware of. Thanks Sue for all you do for Max.

Sue we can’t thank you enough! I am speechless! When everyone gave up on Lucy you were there to help us. We have been through months of hell when Lucy wouldn’t let anyone go near her to groom her. It brought me to tears when I saw her. Not only did you take the time with Lucy but also with me and my daughter. Thank you so much!
