How much does dog grooming cost in Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote in 2026?
Across the 33 dog groomers listed here for Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote, only one publishes a price list: Precious Pets Dog Grooming, which grooms both dogs and cats from a base near Swadlincote. Every other business in this batch, including several with their own working website, asks you to call for a quote rather than publishing figures. This guide sets out what that one price list shows and what to ask everyone else.
The one published price list
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Deshed, small dog | £30 |
| Deshed, large dog or heavy coat | £50 |
| Styling, long coat | £45 |
| Styling, long coat (complex) | £70 |
| Nail trim | £10 |
| Teeth clean consultation | £20 |
| Matting removal | £10 |
| Cat dry groom | £45 |
Precious Pets prices its work by coat length and condition rather than a flat full-groom fee, which is worth bearing in mind when you compare it to a quote from anywhere else in this directory: a straightforward deshed on a small dog is £30, but a complex long-coat styling job rises to £70. Nail trims and matting removal are treated as £10 add-ons rather than bundled into a groom. The business states on its booking page that it recently relocated to Drakelow, near Swadlincote, without yet publishing the new street address, so confirm the exact location when you call.
Why so few prices online
Most of the 33 businesses here rely on a directory listing, a Facebook page, or no online presence beyond a phone number picked up during research, which is the likely reason for the near-total silence on price. Even businesses with a working website of their own, including Wuff & Fluff Dog Grooming, A'Yap Me Dog and Pawfect Pups Dog Grooming, ask you to call or book rather than publishing a price list. A handful state a wider service menu than most, such as A'Yap Me Dog's full groom, puppy pamper, de-shed treatment, hand stripping and teeth cleaning, but only Precious Pets puts a number against any of it.
What to ask when you call
- The price for your dog's specific breed, size and coat type, since it clearly varies a lot even where prices are published
- Whether a bath-and-tidy, deshed or puppy option costs less than a full groom, and by how much
- Whether nail trimming, ear cleaning or teeth cleaning are included in the base price or charged separately, as they are as standalone add-ons at Precious Pets
- How far in advance you need to book, and whether a deposit or cancellation charge applies
A note on scale
This page is split out of the former Tamworth, Lichfield and Burton upon Trent listing, with its own research pass across four areas: Burton upon Trent, Barton-under-Needwood and Burton villages, Stapenhill and Burton east, and Swadlincote. 37 businesses were checked, and 33 are confirmed by phone and listed here; the other four are left out because one has no phone number found anywhere, two are marked permanently closed on Google, and one shares an identical phone number with another salon already listed. A future recheck, or a Google-based phone-lookup pass on Burton town centre itself (the thinnest area on this page), may turn up further published price lists as small salons update their own sites and social pages.
