How much does dog grooming cost in Stafford and Burton upon Trent in 2026?

Across the 22 dog groomers listed here for Stafford, Eccleshall & Gnosall, Uttoxeter, Burton upon Trent, Tamworth, Lichfield, Rugeley & Burntwood and Penkridge, not one publishes a price list on its own website, Facebook page, or anywhere else found during research. That's different from some other towns in this network, where at least a handful of salons put figures online. Here, every quote has to come from a phone call, so this guide sets out what's on offer instead of prices, and what to ask when you ring.

What's on offer, if not prices

Most of the 22 businesses describe a "full groom" as their main service, sometimes alongside a lighter "bath and tidy" option, but none states what either costs. Dogroomin' lists a full groom, bath and tidy, and puppy introduction sessions; The Grooming Barn has the widest published service list of the batch, covering full groom, hand stripping, a puppy package, nail trimming, bath and tidy, spa treatments and teeth cleaning; Diamond in the WOOF offers one-to-one or same-household group bookings plus teeth cleaning and nail cutting as add-ons; and Barkleys Dog Grooming lists full groom, clipping, ear cleaning, nail trimming and a collection and delivery service. Chopper's Pet Grooming and Scruffs Mobile Dog Grooming both offer a mobile option as well as a fixed appointment. None of these lists a cost per service, so there is no way to compare like-for-like without asking directly.

Why calling matters here

Size, coat condition and temperament all affect how long a groom takes and what it costs, and because none of these 22 businesses states a starting price anywhere public, ask for a specific quote for your dog's breed, size and coat length before booking rather than assuming a figure. It's also worth asking whether the price includes extras some businesses mention, such as nail trimming, ear cleaning or teeth cleaning, or whether those are charged on top.

What to ask when you call

• The price for your dog's specific breed, size and coat type
• Whether a bath-and-tidy or puppy option costs less than a full groom
• Whether nail trimming, ear cleaning or teeth cleaning are included or charged separately
• How far in advance you need to book, and whether there's a cancellation-fee policy

A note on the wider picture

Thirteen further businesses researched for this same area are not listed here at all: twelve had a confirmed address but no phone number that could be verified, and one had neither. The Google-based phone lookup that fills in missing numbers for other towns in this network had not run for this town by the time this listing was published, because of a temporary key outage; if it runs later, some of those businesses, and possibly a price list or two among them, may be added.
