How much does dog grooming cost in Newbury and West Berkshire in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception across this directory's 23 groomers covering Newbury and West Berkshire. Only two businesses publish a genuine price list: Hair Off The Dog Groomers in Newbury and Tailwaggerz in Inkpen, near Hungerford. This guide sets out exactly what each one charges rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Hair Off The Dog Groomers | Newbury | Basic groom (nails, ears, hair pluck, bath and dry): extra small £35, small £40, medium £45, large £60, extra large £70 |
| Tailwaggerz | Inkpen, near Hungerford | Bath and blow-dry £35; puppy introduction £40; full salon groom small £50, large £70; wedding grooming service £220 |
What the two price lists show
Both businesses price by size rather than a single flat fee. A basic wash-and-tidy service starts at £35 in both: Hair Off The Dog's basic groom for an extra small dog, and Tailwaggerz's bath and blow-dry. At the top end, a full groom for a large dog runs to £60-£70 depending on where you go. Tailwaggerz also lists a one-off £220 wedding grooming service, a niche add-on not seen elsewhere in this directory.
Why so few prices online
Most of the 23 businesses in this directory rely on a directory listing, a phone number, or a website that doesn't publish a price list, which is the likely reason for the near-silence on price. Several groomers with prominent branding, including the two Dogwood spas in Newbury and Thatcham, price grooming through a tiered package system set at the appointment rather than a published rate card, so ask what package fits your dog and what it costs when you call. Ask for a price, or at least an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere else in this directory.
What this suggests
Two price lists from two different areas aren't a full market rate for Newbury and West Berkshire, but they're close enough to be a useful starting point for a phone call: expect roughly £35 to £45 for a basic wash and tidy on a small to medium dog, and £50 to £70 upwards for a full groom, with size, coat and any wedding or occasion styling adding to that. Ask exactly what's included in the base price before you book, since ear cleaning, nail trims and de-matting are sometimes bundled in and sometimes charged separately.
