How much does dog grooming cost in Bath and north-east Somerset in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception across this directory's 22 groomers covering Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Radstock and Midsomer Norton. Only two businesses publish a genuine price list: Heather's Petcare, near Hinton Charterhouse, and Short Bark 'n' Sides, in Oldfield Park. This guide sets out exactly what is published, rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Business | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Heather's Petcare | Hinton Charterhouse | Full groom £43.80; bath and blow-dry £28.80; Emmi-Pet teeth clean £24; nail clipping £18; blueberry facial £18 |
| Short Bark 'n' Sides | Oldfield Park, Bath | Puppy experience £20; small dog groom £40; medium/large dog groom (up to 20kg) £45 |
What the two published lists show
Heather's Petcare, a pickup and drop-off service based near Hinton Charterhouse, prices its full groom at £43.80 and a bath and blow-dry at £28.80, with add-ons — an Emmi-Pet ultrasonic teeth clean, nail clipping and a blueberry facial — each at £24 or £18, dated to July 2024 on its own site. Short Bark 'n' Sides, a one-to-one salon in Oldfield Park, charges from £20 for a puppy experience up to £45 for a medium or large dog's full groom, with a small dog priced at £40 in between.
Why so few prices online
Most of the 20 remaining businesses have no working website at all, or one that lists services without a price line; several, including Millionhairs Dog Grooming, Bath and Biscuits, Canine Class and Austins Dog Grooming, have a working site but still quote only on enquiry. Six records here — A Touch of Paws, Grooms by Abi, Sandra Higgs Mobile Dog Groomer, Bentleys Holistic Dog Grooming, Paws to Claws and The Grooming Shed — are confirmed only through a single directory listing, with no website of their own to check for pricing at all.
What this suggests
Two data points aren't a market rate for the area, but they are a starting point for a phone conversation: a full groom from a pickup-and-drop-off service runs to £43.80, and a salon-based full groom for a larger dog to £45, with a puppy or basic wash-and-tidy service typically £20 to £30 either way. Confirm the price for your dog's specific breed, size and coat before booking anywhere in this directory, since none of the other 20 businesses publish a comparable figure.
