How much does dog grooming cost in Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough in 2026?
Only two of the 39 groomers listed across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and the surrounding towns publish any price at all, and only one of those publishes a genuine general 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 |
|---|---|---|
| The Pet Aunty Grooming | Market Harborough | Bath and brush £25; full groom £45; introductory session (puppies, elderly or anxious dogs) £25 |
| The Mud Room | Desborough & Rothwell | Puppy groom under 6 months: first visit free, subsequent visits £10 |
The one full price list
The Pet Aunty Grooming, run by Alex Kelly from Stuart Road in Market Harborough, is the only business across this whole coverage area with a genuine published price list for general grooming: £25 for a bath and brush, £45 for a full groom, and a £25 introductory session aimed at puppies, elderly or anxious dogs settling into grooming for the first time. That £45 full groom is the closest thing this directory has to a benchmark figure for the area.
A narrower kind of price: The Mud Room
The Mud Room, a home-based salon in the Desborough and Rothwell area, publishes prices too, but only for a specific puppy offer: the first groom for a puppy under six months is free, and subsequent puppy visits before six months are £10. That is not a general grooming price, and it isn't shown as a headline "from" figure on this business's own listing for that reason, but it is a useful, genuine data point if you have a young puppy.
Why so few prices online
Ten of the 39 businesses listed have no independent website at all, working instead from Facebook, Instagram or a single directory listing, which accounts for a good share of the silence on price. But even businesses with a working site of their own, including well-established names like Zen Dog Grooming, Corby Dog Grooming, Oakley Grooming and Ruby Dos Dog Grooming, choose to quote on enquiry rather than publish a figure. Coat condition, breed, size and temperament all affect how long a groom takes, which is the reason most groomers give for pricing by phone or after seeing the dog, rather than online.
What this suggests
Two data points from 39 businesses isn't a market rate, but they are a starting point for a phone conversation: £45 for a full groom in Market Harborough, and a free-then-£10 puppy offer in the Desborough and Rothwell area. Expect a rural or village-based home groomer to charge differently from a Kettering town-centre salon or a mobile operator with a van and travel time to cover, but there is no further published Kettering, Corby or Wellingborough figure here to confirm that either way. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory.
