Full grooms in London
A full dog groom in London, from bath to final trim.
A full groom is the standard salon booking: wash, blow dry, brush-out, haircut or tidy, nails and often ears. Most London dogs with a trimmed coat settle into a routine of every six to ten weeks.
What shapes a London full groom price.
London salons often cost a little more than in the rest of England because of rents. A quote for a cockapoo or a spaniel will usually be higher than for a short-coated terrier.
- Size is the first factor. A Cavalier or a small poodle cross takes far less time than a Labrador or a golden retriever.
- Coat type changes the job. Poodle and cockapoo coats need scissor work, while smooth coats need less cutting.
- Matting is charged separately by many groomers, and a badly matted coat may need a short clip for comfort.
- Salon location sets the base price. Central and inner London salons often charge more than outer boroughs.
- Drop-off and collection windows can be tight in London. Ask whether your groomer offers a fixed pick-up time.
- Extras such as a hand-finished face, a tooth brush or a de-shedding rinse are usually priced on top.

Before you book.
How much is a full groom in London?
A typical London full groom lands between about £55 and £110, depending on size, coat and the cut you want. Matting and extras can add to it.
How long does a groom take?
Allow two to four hours in a salon, longer for big or heavily coated dogs. Some groomers keep dogs for most of a day.
How often should a London dog be groomed?
Every six to ten weeks suits many trimmed coats. Dogs that walk on commons and heaths often benefit from a bath in between.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Bring your dog's vaccination details if the groomer asks, any notes about nervous behaviour and a photo of the style you like.
