Two more businesses publish numbers, but not for a full groom. Groom Studios in Chesham Bois lists only a 15-minute ultrasonic teeth-cleaning add-on, at £30; no full-groom price is published there, so it isn't in the table above. Wendover Paws publishes dog-walking prices, £16 for a one-hour group walk and £25 for a one-to-one hour, but no grooming price at all, so it isn't in the table either, ask for a grooming quote directly.
What the six full-groom prices show
Where a full groom price is published, it starts between £20 and £45 depending on the salon and, where broken down, your dog's coat length or size. For Happy Paws is the cheapest entry point at £20 for a short-haired breed, rising to £30 for long-haired coats; that salon also runs a 20% discount on a first groom. The Dogs Danglies (Thame) and Mac's Dog Grooming (Longwick) both start a small-dog full groom at £35, with Mac's the only one here to publish a full size ladder: £35 small, £45 medium, £55 large, £70 giant. Lady And The Hounds in Aylesbury starts at £38, and Woody & Friends (Great Missenden) and MD Dog Grooming (Haddenham) both start at £45 for their standard full groom.
Cheaper add-ons, where published
Where a business breaks its price list down further, a basic wash comes in well under full-groom prices: For Happy Paws' bath, brush and blow-dry from £15, Lady And The Hounds' wash & dry from £25, and MD Dog Grooming's wash & dry from £32. Nail clipping or trimming, where priced separately, runs £6 to £14 across these salons, and a puppy introduction session runs free (For Happy Paws) to £37 (MD Dog Grooming, a full puppy groom rather than just an intro visit).
Why so few prices online
Most of the 25 groomers in this directory rely on a phone number, a directory listing, or a simple contact form rather than a published price list, which accounts for the gap. Several with a working website of their own, including Chrissy's Pet Parlour, Dazzle Like Doris and Clips Dog Grooming, still ask you to call or use a contact form rather than stating figures. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory that doesn't publish one.
What this suggests
Six full-groom prices from six different postcode areas aren't a full market rate, but they're consistent enough to be a useful starting point for a phone call: expect roughly £20 to £45 for a standard full groom on a small or medium dog in this area, with larger breeds costing more wherever a size-based price list is published. Add-ons like teeth cleaning, de-shedding or a puppy intro typically sit below the full-groom price at the same salon.
