How to choose a dog groomer in Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft

Dog grooming is unregulated in the UK, so the checking is on you. This directory covers 38 groomers across three areas: Great Yarmouth & Gorleston (NR29, NR30, NR31), Lowestoft (NR32, NR33), and Beccles & Bungay (NR34, NR35). National chains are excluded throughout this network, including Pets at Home / The Groom Room branches found in both Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft during research.

Check how well the business is documented

Of the 38 businesses listed, 10 were confirmed from a working website plus at least one other independent source (high confidence): Roopie's Dog Grooming, Willowcroft Grooming Services, Diamond Pets, Doggy Style Grooming Salon, K9 Design Studio, Jennifer Sims Dog Grooming, Pedigrees 'n' Pooches Mobile Dog Grooming, Cloeclips, Heather's Hairee Hounds and Tail and Chase Dog Grooming. Nineteen are medium confidence, usually meaning the address and phone are confirmed through a directory listing, a Facebook page or a phone number verified independently rather than a working site of its own. Nine are low confidence, each carrying a plain note in its listing that the details are from search results only and should be confirmed by phone before booking: C R Dogs, Boo-tique, Fluff Pups Mobile Dog Grooming, Perfect Paws Dog Grooming Salon, Tidy Tails Grooming Salon, K9 Cuts, WaggyTales Mobile Dog Grooming, Scissor & Sparkle By Tiffany, and Short Bark & Sides.

Who was left out, and why

Four researched businesses don't appear in this directory. Apollo Grooming Salon's Northgate Street premises were described in a September 2026 property listing as a vacant former dog-grooming salon up for sale, so it's treated as closed here rather than listed on the strength of older directory entries. Canine Clips & Cuts in Ditchingham states on its own site that the owner has relocated to Lincolnshire, so the Bungay listing is left out as no longer trading locally. Bonnie's Dog Grooming in Lowestoft traded under a limited company dissolved in 2016; a same-named social media presence exists, but no working phone number could be confirmed, so it isn't published. Dirty Dawg Dog Grooming, a newly opened Caister salon reported in the local press, also has no confirmed phone number, and its own web address resolves only to a hosting placeholder page, so it is left out until one can be confirmed.

Flagged conflicts, worth a call before you visit

Perfect Paws Dog Grooming Salon and Tidy Tails Grooming Salon are both listed at the same Ormesby address, 6 Wapping, under different phone numbers; both are published here as separate listings, but it's worth confirming by phone which one you've reached before travelling. K9 Sleek & Shine in Lowestoft also appears under a second address and phone number in some directories; the Gorleston Road address and number are given here, so confirm this is still current when you call. Doggy Style Grooming Salon in Gorleston appears in some directories as "Doggy Styles" with a second phone number, recorded here as an alternative number for the same business rather than a separate one. And two listings here, Nelson's Groom Room and Gemma's Groom Room, share the exact same phone number in the sources found during research; both are published as separate businesses since they have different names and addresses, but call to confirm which one you've reached.

Qualifications

City & Guilds training is cited by several businesses here: Willowcroft Grooming Services (Level 2), Diamond Pets, Doggy Style Grooming Salon's team of five, Sunny Days Dog Grooming (Level 2 & 3 Animal Management), Wags to Riches Grooming's Holly Riches, Snowstorms Grooming Parlour (Level 3, plus CPG), Tail and Chase Dog Grooming, and Pedigrees 'n' Pooches Mobile Dog Grooming's Trevor, an award-winning competitor since 2010. Ask for the qualification by name if it matters to you; most of the 38 listings don't state one either way.

Mobile groomers

Nine of the 38 businesses here work from a van rather than a fixed salon: Fluff Pups Mobile Dog Grooming, Dial A Dog Wash Great Yarmouth And East Norfolk, Wags to Riches Grooming, Pedigrees 'n' Pooches Mobile Dog Grooming, Pawsomepetparlour, WaggyTales Mobile Dog Grooming, Ems Mobile Dog Grooming, Cloeclips and Scissor & Sparkle By Tiffany. Several cover more than one of this directory's three areas, so it's worth asking any of them whether your postcode is included before booking, especially if you're near the edge of their usual round.

One-to-one setups

A number of businesses describe grooming one dog at a time rather than running a busy multi-dog salon floor: Diamond Pets, Sunny Days Dog Grooming, Snowstorms Grooming Parlour, Wags to Riches Grooming and Jennifer Sims Dog Grooming all mention a one-to-one format, and Heather's Hairee Hounds describes itself as the area's only consent groomer, working around each dog's comfort. If a slower, single-appointment setting matters for a nervous or reactive dog, these are worth asking about directly.

Cats and other animals

A handful of businesses here groom more than dogs: Mutley's Makeovers Dog & Cat Grooming and K9 Design Studio both groom cats as well as dogs, Doggy Style Grooming Salon also grooms small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, and Cloeclips takes cats and small pets such as rabbits and guinea pigs on its mobile round. Everyone else listed here is confirmed for dog grooming only.

Reviews

12 of the 37 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. Heads 'N' Tails has an unclaimed Yelp listing with no reviews yet, so nothing is shown for it either. Ask to see recent work, a reference, or photos of previous grooms instead of relying on a star rating you can't check yourself.

Where they are

Coverage is heaviest in Great Yarmouth & Gorleston (20 of the 38), followed by Lowestoft (11), with Beccles & Bungay the thinnest at 7, split between Beccles, Bungay and the villages around them (Wangford, Wrentham, Toft Monks, Earsham, Ditchingham). If you're in one of the smaller villages, a mobile groomer covering your postcode or a short drive to the nearest well-documented salon is likely your most reliable option.
