How much does dog grooming cost in Ipswich in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception among Ipswich's dog groomers: of the thirty businesses listed in this directory, covering Ipswich, Kesgrave, Martlesham, Woodbridge, Felixstowe, Needham Market and Hadleigh, only one, Suffolk Dog Town (Dolly's Spa) on Farthing Road in Ipswich, publishes a genuine price list. This guide sets out exactly what is published, rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Suffolk Dog Town (Dolly's Spa) | Ipswich | Bath & dry from £20; bath & tidy from £30; full groom from £25 |
Suffolk Dog Town's full price list
Suffolk Dog Town, trading as Dolly's Spa at the Sterling Complex on Farthing Road in Ipswich, is the only business in this directory with a published starting price for each of its main services: £20 for a bath and dry, £30 for a bath and tidy, and £25 for a full groom, all stated as starting points that will vary with a dog's size and coat. It also offers Emmi-Pet ultrasonic teeth cleaning as a separately priced add-on, and holds a 5-star licence from Babergh Council. The same site runs a dog daycare creche and puppy socialisation classes alongside its grooming service.
Why so few prices online
Many of the businesses in this directory have no independent website at all, relying instead on a Facebook page or a listing in a local business directory, which very likely explains most of the silence on price. Several businesses that do have their own working site, including PAWTIQUE Dog Grooming Service, Short Bakun Tails, Beth's Pet Styling and Harvey's Hounds Dog Grooming, still quote on enquiry rather than publishing figures. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory.
What this suggests
One data point isn't a market rate, but it is a starting point for a phone conversation: Suffolk Dog Town's £20 bath and dry, £30 bath and tidy and £25 full groom, in Ipswich, are the only figures on record across all thirty businesses covering the area. A specialist mobile service such as Suffolk Groomers or Stone Beach Dog Grooming may charge differently once a van coming to your door is factored in, and a groomer with more advanced qualifications, such as Fay's Diamond Dog Grooming's City & Guilds Level 4 and International Certified Master Groomer status, may price accordingly too, but there is no published Ipswich figure here to confirm either way. Ask each groomer directly and compare against Suffolk Dog Town's figures as your only fixed point of reference.
