How to choose a dog groomer in Falkirk and Grangemouth
Dog grooming is unregulated in the UK, so the checking is on you. This directory publishes 24 groomers with a confirmed phone number across five areas: Falkirk (FK1, FK2), Grangemouth & Bo'ness (FK3, EH51), Bonnybridge (FK4), Larbert & Stenhousemuir (FK5) and Denny (FK6). This page is split out of the larger Stirling and Falkirk directory so each town gets its own detail; read this before you pick a groomer.
Check how well the business is documented
Of the 24 businesses listed, three were confirmed from a first-hand working website plus at least one other independent source (marked high confidence): California Dog Grooming, Boujee Dogs and Phoenix Dog Grooming Ltd. Eight are medium confidence, usually meaning the details come from a directory listing, a Facebook page, or a phone number confirmed against an address by more than one independent source: Hairy Tails Dog Grooming, Tidy Dogs Ltd, Snoopies Dog Grooming, Hot Dogz Grooming Salon, Happy Tails Dog Groomers, Bobtails Dog Grooming, DMG Pet Grooming and Bow Wow Scotland Dog Grooming Studio. Thirteen are low confidence, meaning a single directory listing or search result is all that could be found, and each of these listings says so plainly with a note to confirm details by phone before booking.
A dissolved business, not listed
Vanity Fur Falkirk, a Newmarket Street salon carried over from the previous Stirling and Falkirk research round, is not published here. Companies House records show Vanity Fur Dog Grooming Falkirk Ltd (SC770481, incorporated 24 May 2023) was dissolved on 29 October 2024, its listed website has expired, and no live salon or mobile listing trading under the name could be found. If a business trades locally under a similar name today, it's a different, unconfirmed operation, so it's not carried across.
One salon, two names
4 Legged Trends and Ross's Rascals share an identical address and postcode on Main Street in Larbert across the directories checked, each with a different phone number. Rather than risk listing the same salon twice, it's recorded here once, under both names, with both numbers on file: call either to check which name is current.
Address and phone conflicts to check by phone
A few listings here carry a genuine, unresolved conflict between independent sources. Snoopies Dog Grooming's own site and one directory give a North Inches address, while two other directories instead give a James Street address for the same name and phone. Top Knotch Grooming has moved from Dundas Street to Jackson Avenue in Grangemouth, per a current Facebook page, but the phone number on record couldn't be re-confirmed against the new address. Bow Wow Scotland Dog Grooming Studio is listed on Winchester Avenue by two directories with a phone number, and on Stirling Street by a third with no phone; the phoned, better-corroborated address is used here. Hot Dogz Grooming Salon has two different phone numbers on record for the same Grahams Road address, and both are shown so you can try either.
Bonnybridge, Larbert & Stenhousemuir and Denny are thin
Coverage away from Falkirk and Grangemouth itself is genuinely sparse. Bonnybridge has one confirmed listing, DMG Pet Grooming; its address and phone were only confirmed through a Google Places check after directory research alone turned up little beyond a groomer's first name, and a second Bonnybridge lead, Bark N Brush Pet Spa, is not published here because no phone number could be confirmed for it despite an address turning up in a search snippet. Larbert & Stenhousemuir has one listing, the combined 4 Legged Trends / Ross's Rascals entry; a second lead, Doggie Parlour in Stenhousemuir, had a confirmed address but no phone number anywhere, so it isn't published. Denny has exactly one confirmed groomer, Bow Wow Scotland Dog Grooming Studio; no other Denny-based business with a confirmed phone number was found, so if you're in Denny, this is genuinely the only local option in this directory, and the address itself carries the conflict noted above.
Qualifications and experience
Hairy Tails Dog Grooming's groomers trained at the Scotgroom City & Guilds accredited training centre. Phoenix Dog Grooming Ltd's owner holds certifications in grooming, canine oral health, first aid and advanced styling, and the business was named "Top Pet Grooming Business" in the Falkirk area for both 2024 and 2025. Snoopies Dog Grooming's groomer trained at Pampered Pets in Greenock. Top Knotch Grooming's groomer is described as having 27 years of experience, including hand-stripping non-shedding breeds. Ask for the qualification or years of experience by name if it matters to you.
Mobile groomers and cats
Katz & Dogz Mobile Dog Grooming, based at a home address in Falkirk, is the only mobile business confirmed among the 24; its trading name suggests it may also groom cats, though this isn't separately confirmed. Boujee Dogs is the one business here confirmed to groom cats, offering cat nail trims alongside its dog grooming spa and small-animal grooming.
Reviews
12 of the 24 groomers listed here show a Google rating, taken from the business's own Google profile and linked from the listing; the others have no rating from a source this directory can link to.0 from 154 reviews on Booksy. No Google, Trustpilot, Fresha or Yelp profile with a working link could be confirmed for any of the other 23 businesses during research. That absence is not a mark against them, only a reflection of what could be independently verified at the time of writing; ask to see recent work or photos of previous grooms instead.
Where they are
Falkirk itself has the most listings, 13, followed by Grangemouth & Bo'ness with 8. Bonnybridge, Larbert & Stenhousemuir and Denny each have exactly one, for the reasons set out above. If you're in one of those three areas, the nearest listed groomer in Falkirk or Grangemouth & Bo'ness, or a mobile groomer willing to travel, is worth a call alongside the single local option.
