How much does dog grooming cost in Bournemouth in 2026?
Published pricing is rare among Bournemouth's dog groomers: of the twenty-one businesses listed in this directory, only two publish prices online. This guide sets out exactly what those two charge, rather than guessing at a town-wide average from a sample that small.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Cherished Pets Dog Grooming Salon | Fiveways, Charminster Road | Full grooms from £35 (small) to £60 (giant breeds); doodles/poodle mixes £50 |
| K9 Hairdooz | Redhill (home salon) | Full groom £41; wash and blow dry £31; add-ons from £7 (nail clip) to £15 (face clear, feet tidy) |
Cherished Pets' price list by size
Cherished Pets, trading from the same Fiveways premises for over 12 years by its own account, publishes a straightforward tier by dog size: £35 for small breeds, £45 for medium, £50 for large, and £60 for giant breeds, with doodles and poodle mixes priced at £50 regardless of size band. This is the clearest size-banded price list found in this directory.
K9 Hairdooz's fuller breakdown
K9 Hairdooz, a home salon in Redhill, publishes the most detailed price list found: a full groom at £41, a wash and blow dry at £31, and a puppy grooming introduction session at £40, alongside smaller add-ons — a face clear or feet tidy at £15, an ear clean at £8, and a nail clip at £7. Those add-on prices are not a substitute for the full groom price; treat them as extras on top.
What this suggests
With only two of twenty-one businesses publishing prices, and both quoting a full groom somewhere in the £35–£60 range depending on dog size, that band is the only real reference point this directory can offer for Bournemouth. It comes from two salons only and may not reflect what the other nineteen charge, including several — Southbourne Dog Groomers, Pawfectly, Doggie-Styles and Sam's Groom Room among the excluded and included businesses researched — that quote on request instead.
Why so few prices online
Several of Bournemouth's groomers have no independent website at all, relying on directory listings or a phone number only, which is very likely part of why so few publish a price list anywhere searchable. Others with a working website, including Pawfectly, Doggie-Styles, For The Love Of Dog and Paige's Pooches, still choose to quote in person rather than publish a figure, often because pricing depends heavily on breed, coat condition and size. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog, before booking anywhere that doesn't list one.
