About Us
Our Story
Your Pets are our Passion
Buddies Pet Grooming Spa & Academy is a pet grooming
salon and training academy that offers exceptional grooming, spa treatments, and specialised care for dogs and cats.
At Buddies Pet Grooming Spa & Academy, we understand that grooming can be stressful for many pets, especially those with previous negative experiences or nervous dispositions. Led by Louise, who brings over 21 years of professional dog grooming experience and trained in dog behaviour and canine body language, our pet grooming salon offers a calm, caring and structured approach. We focus on trust-building and desensitisation grooming to ensure a positive experience for every pet. Our Manager Krisy, with 25 years of grooming experience, shares the same compassionate values, guaranteeing that all pets are treated with patience and care. While the entire team is dedicated to creating a supportive grooming environment, Louise’s guidance ensures that nervous dogs receive the expert care they need.
Louise took over the business and has rebuilt from the ground up with new branding and business ideas, pushing boundaries and helping the brand to stand out.
