Dog baths in London
A dog bath and brush in London, without the full cut.
A bath and brush is a good middle option for short-coated dogs and for trimmed dogs between full grooms. It removes mud, loose hair and doggy smell without changing the cut.
What changes the price of a bath and brush.
Walkers on Hampstead Heath, Clapham Common or Wimbledon Common often use it every three or four weeks in the wet months.
- Coat length and thickness decide how long drying and brushing take. A Labrador is quicker than a long-haired collie.
- A very muddy dog may need two washes. Tell the groomer if your walk ended in a pond.
- Nail clipping and ear cleaning are sometimes included and sometimes extra.
- Dogs that shed heavily may attract a small brushing surcharge in spring and autumn.
- Self-service dog wash stations in London can cost less, but you do the work and the drying.
- Mobile baths cost more than a salon bath, because the price covers travel and parking.

Before you book.
How much is a dog bath in London?
Expect roughly £35 to £70 for a bath and brush in London. Size, coat length and any matting change the price.
Is a bath and brush enough for my poodle cross?
Often not for long. Curly coats can mat quickly after a bath if they are not brushed out fully, so many owners alternate baths with full grooms.
Will a groomer trim anything during a bath?
A tidy of the feet, face and hygiene area is often included. Ask when you book, so the quote matches.
How soon after a bath can my dog go on a muddy walk?
There is no fixed rule. Many owners keep the next day dry, because mud and wet fur are easiest to deal with on a coat that has had time to settle.
