How much does dog grooming cost in Newport and the Valleys in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception across this directory's 37 groomers spanning Newport and the South Wales Valleys, from Caerleon in the south to Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare in the north. Only three businesses publish a genuine price list: Polished Pooch by Mia (Pontllanfraith, in the Blackwood & Ebbw Vale area), Nef's Pawlour (Tredegar) and Coffi House Dog Groomers (Aberdare). This guide sets out exactly what each one charges, rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Polished Pooch by Mia | Pontllanfraith (Blackwood & Ebbw Vale) | Bath & Tidy £20; Puppy Groom £30; Full Groom £40 |
| Nef's Pawlour | Tredegar | Pretty Paws (25 minutes) £15 — its only published price |
| Coffi House Dog Groomers | Aberdare | Puppy Special £30; Small Dog Groom £45; Medium Dog Groom £70 |
What the three price lists show
Polished Pooch by Mia and Coffi House Dog Groomers both publish a tiered structure: a cheaper puppy or introductory price, then a full-size groom. A full groom for a small dog starts at £40 at Polished Pooch by Mia and £45 at Coffi House Dog Groomers (its "Small Dog Groom"), with Coffi House's medium-dog price rising to £70; neither publishes a large-breed price. Puppy prices sit lower at both businesses: £30 for a Puppy Groom at Polished Pooch by Mia and £30 for a Puppy Special at Coffi House Dog Groomers. Nef's Pawlour publishes only one figure, £15 for a 25-minute "Pretty Paws" service; despite listing a full groom among its services, no price for that specific service is published, so it isn't part of the full-groom comparison above.
Why so few prices online
Most of the 37 businesses in this directory are known only through a directory listing, a Facebook page, or a bare phone number, which accounts for most of the silence on price. Even well-documented salons with their own working websites, such as Bellamy's Pad and the two Shampooch Dog Spa branches in Cwmbran and Chepstow, ask you to call rather than publishing figures. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere else in this directory.
What this suggests
Three data points from three different Valleys towns aren't a full market rate, but they point in a consistent direction: expect a small-dog full groom from roughly £40 to £45, rising towards £70 for a medium-sized dog where a graduated price list is published, and a lower price in the £15 to £30 range for a puppy groom or a short, single-service appointment. Coverage this directory holds prices for is thin — Pontllanfraith, Tredegar and Aberdare only — so a phone call for a quote is the only reliable way to compare cost across the other six areas before booking.
