How much does dog grooming cost in Derby in 2026?
Published pricing is rare among Derby's dog groomers: of the twenty listed here, only two, Waggy Tailz Derby (near Allestree) and Belpaw Dog Grooming (Belper), publish a full price list, and The Hound Hut's two Derby branches (Allestree and Mickleover) publish one add-on price rather than a groom price. This guide sets out exactly what is published.

What a full groom costs, where it's published
Across the two salons that publish a full groom price, the range runs from £35 for a toy breed at Waggy Tailz Derby up to £50 for a large dog at Belpaw Dog Grooming. Both salons price by size rather than a single flat fee, and Belpaw currently only grooms small to medium dogs, so its £50 upper price is for a large dog within that range rather than a giant breed. Add-on prices follow the same pattern: a nail trim is £10 at Waggy Tailz and £20 at Belpaw, where the same £20 also covers ear cleaning or ear plucking individually.
Teeth cleaning, two different providers
Two businesses in this directory publish a teeth-cleaning price, both using ultrasonic technology rather than manual scale-and-polish: The Hound Hut charges £55 at both its Allestree and Mickleover branches, and Belpaw Dog Grooming, which names its equipment as certified Emmi Pet ultrasonic technology, charges £50 for an initial session and £25 for each one after that.
Why so few prices are online
Seventeen of the twenty groomers listed here publish no price list at all. Several, including Karen's Canine Cuts, Glampoochies, Posh Paws Dog Grooming and Pamper Hounds Dog Grooming, have no independent working website, relying instead on Facebook or a single directory listing, which likely explains most of the silence on price. Others, including Woof Shack Dog Grooming, Shabby 2 Chic Dog Grooming and the training-led Heavenlyz and Sue Oliver studios, do have a working website but still don't quote figures online. The two mobile groomers, sMARTs Dog Grooming Services and Ocean's Pooch Parlour, also publish nothing, which is typical for mobile work where the price often depends on the coverage distance and the dog's coat. Call ahead for a quote in every one of these cases; a photo of your dog helps most groomers give an accurate estimate over the phone.
