Typical range£60 to £140per sessionEstimates, not quotes. Real prices depend on the groomer, the dog and the area.
What shapes the price and the plan
- How much of the coat is matted, and how close to the skin.
- Whether brushing out is kind, or a short clip is the gentler option.
- The coat type: a Cavapoo and a Shih Tzu mat in different places.
- Time on the table, since long sessions tire the dog and the groomer.
- Follow-up visits that gradually restore the coat.
- A brushing routine at home, which is the cheapest way to avoid repeat cost.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my dog mat so quickly after wet walks?
Water tightens loose hair into knots, particularly in curly and silky coats. Dry and brush your dog soon after muddy or rainy walks.
Is shaving a matted dog cruel?
Not when it is done carefully. If mats are tight, a short clip is often kinder than hours of pulling. A responsible groomer will explain the choice.
Will the coat grow back the same?
Usually, but texture can change for a while. Ask your groomer what to expect for your breed.
How do I prevent matting?
Brush all the way to the skin several times a week with a comb and slicker, and book regular grooms at a gap your groomer recommends.
