Hi,

Just wondering how much everyone is paying for their dog to be groomed. I’m in the north east and had prices anywhere from £20-40 for the same service (full groom/clip off on small dog).

I assume the more expensive ones will be a better finish but I’m just curious to see what everyone else is paying.

thanks in advance

    I asked my partner whose parents have a small dog, he says £25. She does look fab when it's done, I can attest to that. We're in NI where things tend to be on the cheaper side.

    North West and I don't have either of my (big) dogs groomed professionally, but lots of my friends do. A small to medium size doodle type tends to be around £40. 
    I have considered having one of mine done as a one off (he's a total mix of breeds and very hairy, with a combination coat) but have been quoted upwards of £60 just for a bath and trim as he's quite a large dog, so I'll stick to just brushing him at home to prevent mats - he certainly sheds plenty - so proper grooming isn't necessary.

    AFAIK small dog approx £25, rough collie £40. Lincolnshire.
    My own dog is a hound so he doesn't get 'grooming treatment!'.
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything! --
    Many thanks

    Wow, that’s a lot of money for a bath and trim! 

    I don’t blame you for doing it yourself

    After trying out a couple of groomers unsuccessfully I now pay £50 every two months for a Scottie cross dog.  I think you also need to take into account how the dog is looked after whilst being groomed.
    I am in Manchester

    £40 in Wiltshire.  When phoning around that seems to be the price for a small dog total (including nail trim) groom
