Hey There
I'm Deb and I hold an Ipet Network Level 3 certificate in dog grooming.
My journey started during lockdown in 2020 when my partner and I welcomed our cheeky Cockapoo, Fozzy.
With his love for mud and mischief, I soon found myself washing and brushing him between grooms — and that’s when my passion for grooming began.
A bit of background...
After 34 years as an office manager in Finance, I knew I needed a change...
In January 2025, I swapped spreadsheets for scissors and joined a dog grooming academy. It was a huge leap, but as a lifelong dog lover, I couldn’t have been happier.​
While training, I built Fozzy’s Groom Room from scratch in a summerhouse at home. Now it’s my little haven — and a calm, safe space for the dogs I care for.
Our approach
At Fozzy’s Groom Room, it’s never “just a trim & tidy.” I offer a one-to-one, peaceful grooming experience where every dog gets my full patience, care, and plenty of cuddles along the way. The salon overlooks a beautiful garden with water features, creating a tranquil environment that helps even the most nervous pups feel at ease.
​
Every dog is unique, so I take time to read their body language and adjust my approach to suit their needs — whether that means working slowly, offering extra reassurance, or simply giving them space to relax.
​​
Equally, I know how important it is to listen to owners. Every family has their own preferences and expectations when it comes to their dogs' coat and style. I always take the time to communicate clearly, discuss what works best for both the dog and the owner, and answer any questions along the way.
​
For me, grooming is more than a job — it’s a joy. I feel incredibly lucky to spend each day with dogs and to give them the calm, positive experience they deserve.​
