How much does dog grooming cost in Leicester in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception among Leicester's dog groomers: of the twenty-nine businesses listed in this directory, spanning Leicester centre, Braunstone, Glenfield, Syston, Birstall, Oadby, Wigston and Market Harborough, only two publish 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Forest East Dog Grooming | Braunstone | Miniature breed from £25; double-coat breeds and hand stripping from £35; giant breed from £45 |
| The Pet Aunty Grooming | Market Harborough | Bath and brush from £25; introductory session from £25; full groom from £45 |
What the two published lists show
Forest East Dog Grooming, a home-based salon on Braunstone Lane run by Yolanda Allen-Everitt, prices by coat and size rather than by service alone: £25 for a miniature breed, rising to £35 for a double-coat breed or hand stripping, and £45 for a giant breed. It also offers a free puppy bathtime introduction for dogs under four months. The Pet Aunty Grooming, on Stuart Road in Market Harborough and run by Alex Kelly, prices by service: £25 for a bath and brush, £25 for an introductory session aimed at puppies, seniors and anxious dogs, and £45 for a full groom, which is the figure shown as its starting price in this directory.
Why so few prices online
Most of the other twenty-seven businesses in this directory either have no working website at all, relying instead on Facebook, Instagram or a listing in a local groomer directory, or a website that describes services without stating figures. Even well-documented salons such as WAGS Oadby, Wigston Dog Groomers, Fresh as a Daisy Dog Services, Pampered Pets and Knots N Tangles, all confirmed through their own sites, quote on enquiry rather than publishing a price list. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size, breed and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory.
What this suggests
Two data points from different towns aren't a market rate, but they are a starting point for a phone conversation: Forest East's £25-to-£45 range by size and coat in Braunstone, and The Pet Aunty Grooming's £25-to-£45 range by service in Market Harborough, both land in a similar band. Expect coat condition, matting and a nervous or anxious dog needing extra time to push a quote higher than the headline figure, and always confirm the exact price for your dog before you book.
