Dog grooming near me

Find a dog groomer near you

Grooming in England is not licensed, so the checking falls to you. Start with a trade directory, then run through the RSPCA's checklist.

Near you

Search a trade directory

The Pet Industry Federation runs the British Dog Groomers' Association and a searchable directory of member businesses. Your vet is another good source of names.

These links open the organisations' own websites. We are an independent guide with no connection to any of them, and we do not recommend individual businesses.

Before you book

The RSPCA's checklist, in short

  1. Insurance that covers your dog

    Including what happens if your dog needs a vet during the groom.

  2. A recognised qualification

    City & Guilds is the usual route. Membership of the British Dog Groomers' Association is a good sign.

  3. They ask about vaccinations

    A careful groomer asks for proof before the first appointment.

  4. Clean, secure premises

    Visit first. It should be clean and hygienic, with no easy way for a dog to slip out.

  5. Care with drying cabinets

    Dogs cannot move away from the heat, even when supervised. Ask how they dry.

  6. References

    Ask other owners, or your vet, who they trust.

Questions

Common questions

Do dog groomers need a licence in England?

No. Grooming is not one of the pet activities that need a licence in England, and the RSPCA describes it as currently unregulated. That is why qualifications, insurance and a visit beforehand matter.

How much does dog grooming cost in the UK?

Booking data from early 2026 puts the average at about £42 for an extra-small dog, £55 for a medium dog and £76 for an extra-large one. Coat type is the biggest factor, and matting adds to the price.

What qualifications should a groomer have?

None are required by law. City & Guilds is the recognised route, and membership of the British Dog Groomers' Association is another good sign.

How often should my dog be groomed?

It depends on the breed and the coat. Ask your groomer or your vet for a schedule that suits your dog.

Are drying cabinets safe?

The RSPCA warns that dogs cannot remove themselves from the heat source, even when supervised. Ask any groomer how they dry dogs.
