How much does dog grooming cost in Dartford and Gravesend in 2026?
None of the 28 dog groomers listed for Dartford and Gravesend publish a price list. That is not an oversight on our part — every business page here comes from what each groomer actually states on its own site, a directory listing, or another public source, and not one of them names a figure for a bath, a full groom or an add-on. So instead of guessing at numbers, here is what we can tell you: what's actually on offer, and what tends to change the price when you do call.
What's on offer, beyond a basic groom
A basic groom for a dog covers a bath, brush and blow dry, sometimes with a trim. Several of the 28 listed businesses offer extras on top of that, which is usually where the bill changes. These are the add-on services groomers here actually state they offer, not services we are assuming they offer:
| Extra service | Who offers it |
|---|---|
| Microchipping | Hair of the Dog (Dartford) |
| De-fleaing treatment | Hair of the Dog (Dartford) |
| Ultrasonic teeth cleaning | Collar & Comb Dog Grooming (Dartford) |
| Teeth cleaning | Wet Paws (Erith & Belvedere) |
| Hand-stripping and de-shedding | May's Grooming, Top Knot and Tails (Gravesend & Northfleet) |
| Cat and small-animal grooming | LGK Pet Grooming (Dartford), Collar & Comb Dog Grooming (Dartford), Just Grooming and More, Pets Come First (Welling & Thamesmead) |
| Dog walking and pet sitting | Groom Armada (Bexley village) |
| Daycare and boarding | Pets Come First (Welling & Thamesmead) |
What changes the price when you ring
A handful of businesses here tell you, in their own words, what will affect a quote. Collar & Comb Dog Grooming is insured to groom XL Bullies as well as smaller breeds, which is the kind of detail that usually comes with a size-based price tier. Fur Babies Pet Spa describes breed-specific groomers, which points the same way. May's Grooming lists full grooms, puppy grooming, bathing, hand-stripping and de-shedding as separate items, which suggests each is quoted on its own rather than bundled into one flat fee. None of that tells you a number, but it tells you what questions to ask: your dog's breed and size, coat condition and length, and whether you want a bath-only visit or a full groom with extras.
One non-grooming cost to know about
Louisa's Grooming Salon on Harmer Street in Gravesend has parking bays directly outside for a small charge — useful to know if you're driving to a town-centre salon rather than a business park or industrial unit.
With no published price list anywhere in this directory, the only reliable way to know what a groom will cost for your dog is to call the groomer directly, describe your dog's breed, size and coat, and ask for a quote before booking.
