How much does dog grooming cost in Croydon in 2026?
None of the thirty-six dog groomers listed in this directory for Croydon, Purley and Kenley, Coulsdon, South Croydon and Sanderstead, Thornton Heath and Norbury, Norwood and Crystal Palace, Sutton, and Mitcham and Wallington publish a price list. That is unusual compared with some other towns in this network, where at least one groomer states a starting figure, and it is worth knowing before you start calling around.
Why nobody quotes a figure upfront
Dog grooming prices genuinely vary with your dog's size, breed, coat condition and how long it has been since the last groom, which is the reason most independent groomers give for quoting only after a chat or a look at your dog rather than publishing a flat rate. On top of that, a large share of the businesses in this directory, especially across South Croydon and Sanderstead, Thornton Heath and Norbury, and Norwood and Crystal Palace, have no working website of their own and are documented here only through a single directory listing, which is exactly the kind of listing that gives a name, address and phone number but never a price. Even the better-documented salons with their own sites, such as Wigs Pet Spa, LillyBea, Paws Delight Dog Grooming and Groom for Improvement, quote on enquiry rather than stating a figure.
What you can compare instead
Without prices to compare, the useful questions are about what is included and how the appointment runs. A hydro bath, full cut and blow dry, and nail clipping are the named services at Mutleys Grooming Spa in Sutton; a wash-and-go alongside a full groom is what Paws Delight Dog Grooming in Kenley offers; ultrasound teeth cleaning sits alongside grooming at Brinkley's Grooming & Boarding. Ask whether a quote covers the whole appointment or whether nail clipping, de-matting, ear cleaning or a specific breed trim cost extra, since that is where a "full groom" at one salon can end up costing more or less than at another even before either one names a number.
Mobile call-outs
Two businesses in this directory, Posh Pooch Mobile Dog Grooming in New Addington and K9 Nanny in Mitcham, work from a van rather than a fixed salon, and neither publishes a price either. A mobile call-out typically carries a travel cost on top of the groom itself, so it is worth asking directly whether the quote you are given includes coming to your door or is for a groom carried out at a fixed base.
Before you book
Ask for a quote based on your dog's breed, size and coat, ask what is included in a "full groom" versus a basic wash and tidy, and ask whether a first visit costs more if it involves extra de-matting. None of the thirty-six listings here can answer that for you in advance, so a phone call before booking is the only way to know the price in Croydon.
