How much does dog grooming cost in Portsmouth in 2026?
Published pricing is rare among Portsmouth's dog groomers: of the twenty-seven businesses listed in this directory, only one publishes a genuine price list covering a full range of grooming packages, and a second publishes prices for add-ons only, with nothing for a full groom itself. This guide sets out exactly what is published, rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Dandini's Dog Grooming | Fratton (Copnor Road) | Full range from £25 (Wash and Go) to £70 (hand-stripping); Dandini's Dog Package £50 |
| Wags @ Tate Ltd | Havant | Add-ons only: nail clipping £10, Emmi-pet teeth cleaning £20–£29, flea bath £10, brush-out £30/hr |
Dandini's Dog Grooming's full price list
Dandini's, trading in Portsmouth for more than 60 years by its own account and local press coverage, publishes the most complete price list found in this directory: a Wash and Go at £25, a Puppy Package and a lighter de-shed package (bath and brush) both at £40, the Dandini's Dog Package at £50, a fuller de-shed package (bath, brush & tidy) at £60, and hand-stripping from £70. Teeth cleaning runs from £15 for a top-up visit to £30 for a first visit.
Wags @ Tate's add-ons only
Wags @ Tate, in Havant, is explicit that a full groom is priced individually by breed, size and coat condition rather than published as a flat rate. What it does publish is a set of add-on prices: nail clipping and a flea bath treatment both at £10, Emmi-pet teeth cleaning from £20 for a repeat visit to £29 for a first visit, and brush-out or coat care at £30 an hour. Treat these as extras on top of a groom priced at booking, not as a starting figure for the groom itself.
What this suggests
With only one business publishing a genuine full-groom price, there isn't enough data in this directory to give a reliable range for Portsmouth as a whole. Dandini's spread from £25 to £70, across a range of package types rather than one straightforward tariff, is the only real guide available, and it may not reflect what the other twenty-five businesses charge. Treat it as a starting point for a phone conversation, not a quote.
Why so few prices online
Five of the twenty-seven businesses in this directory have no independent website at all, relying on directory listings, Facebook or Instagram instead, which is very likely part of why so few publish a price list anywhere searchable. Several businesses that do have their own site, including Give a Dog a Comb, Suds and Hugs, Scruffs Dog Grooming and Bow Wows at No.7, 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.
