Dog Bath and Brush in London: What to Expect

A bath and brush is the lighter service: shampoo and rinse, a blow dry, a thorough brush out, nails, ears and a quick face and paw tidy, but no full clip. General estimates in London are about £40 to £75 a visit, depending on size and coat. It suits short and smooth coats, and it is a handy mid-point between full grooms for dogs whose cut is growing out. For city dogs that come back from a rainy park caked in mud, it is often the service you book most.

Good questions

Before you begin.

Is a bath and brush enough for a poodle cross?

Usually not for long. Curly coats grow quickly and tangle, so a full groom every few weeks plus brushing at home is more typical.

How often can a dog be bathed?

Every three to six weeks is common, but skin and coat vary. Ask your vet if your dog has itchy or sensitive skin.

Does the price include a trim?

Normally no. If you want scissor work or clipping, ask for a full groom instead.

What if my dog hates the dryer?

Tell the groomer before the visit. Many can use a gentler setting, towel drying or more breaks.
