How much does dog grooming cost in Kendal, Windermere and Barrow in 2026?
No business in this directory of 30 confirmed dog groomers across Kendal, Windermere, Barrow-in-Furness and the surrounding towns and villages publishes a price list. That is the central fact of this guide: every price you're quoted here will come over the phone, once the groomer has heard your dog's breed, size and coat condition.
Why no prices are published
The large majority of the 30 groomers listed here have no working website at all; most rely on a phone number found through an online business directory, a Facebook page, or confirmed independently through Google's business listings. Even among the small number with a working website of their own, such as Bella's Pooch Parlour, Dog-Gone Fabulous Grooming Parlour and Barrow Dog Grooming, none has chosen to publish a starting price. One business found during research for this area, Levens Dog Grooming, does publish a full price list on its own site, from £50 for a small-dog full groom to £65 for hand stripping, but no phone number could be confirmed for it, so it isn't listed in this directory at all.
What is likely to affect the price you're quoted
A handful of facts recorded in this directory point at what to ask about when you call. Mobile groomers who travel to you, including Loobees Mobile Groom Room (Kendal), JustLoveDogs (Windermere), Posh Paws Mobile Dog Grooming (Ulverston, also covering Barrow, Dalton and Millom), Furness Abbey Dog Grooming and Soggy Doggies Grooming (both Barrow-in-Furness), generally build a callout cost into the price of a visit, so ask whether that's itemised separately or already folded into the quote. FUR TEC Canine Services in Ulverston offers a self-service DIY dog wash alongside its salon groom, worth asking about as a cheaper option if you only need a wash rather than a full clip. The Pampered Pooch in Dalton-in-Furness also grooms cats and offers microchipping, priced on top of a standard dog groom rather than bundled into it. Alpha & Omega Dog Grooming in Coniston also offers dog grooming tuition alongside grooming itself, worth asking about if that interests you.
What to do instead of comparing prices online
With nobody publishing figures, the only way to compare cost here is to ring around. Mention your dog's breed, approximate weight and coat length, and ask whether the quote includes nail clipping, ear cleaning and a blow dry, since these are sometimes charged as add-ons rather than bundled in as standard. The Dapper Dog in Barrow-in-Furness and The Dog Groomers at Millom are the only two businesses in this directory with published opening hours; everyone else here should be asked about their hours directly, since none is published.
