How much does dog grooming cost in Manchester in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception among Manchester's dog groomers: of the thirty-four businesses listed in this directory, five publish a genuine price for at least one service. This guide sets out exactly what is published, rather than guessing at the rest.

What's actually published
Three of the five are single figures rather than full price lists: Dapper Dogs' £15 bath and brush out, Elite Dog Grooming's £25 puppy introduction, and Wagstars' £30 puppy groom are each the one service the business names a price for, not necessarily what a full adult groom would cost. Muttzcutz Dog Grooming, in Whitefield, publishes the fullest breakdown, running from £20 for a nails-only visit up to £50 for a deluxe groom on a small dog, with a mini groom and a bath-and-dry pet polish in between. Tiny Tails Spa, a mobile-only groomer covering Altrincham, Sale, Didsbury, Hale, Wilmslow and Knutsford, is the only business here that prices by coat type rather than by service tier: £50 for a short coat, £55 for a wool, drop or wire coat, and £65 for a double coat.
Why so few prices online
Many of the thirty-four businesses in this directory have no independent website at all, relying instead on a directory listing, a Facebook page or Instagram, which very likely accounts for most of the silence on price. Several businesses that do have their own working site, including The Barkside MCR, Didsbury Dog Services, Groom's 4 U, Prestige Paws Dog Grooming & Styling, Sammy's Pet Parlour, DogzBody Spa, Cat's Paws Pet Grooming, Shampoochie Dog Grooming, The Canine Beauty Room and The Pet Retreat (Bowdon), 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
Five data points aren't a market rate, but they are a starting point for a phone conversation: published figures across Manchester's eight areas range from £15 for a bath and brush out in Woodford to £65 for a double-coat groom from a mobile specialist covering Altrincham and Sale. A single-service add-on price, such as a puppy introduction or a nails-only visit, is not the same as a full groom, so ask exactly what a quoted figure covers before you compare two businesses on price alone.
