How much does dog grooming cost in Torquay and Torbay in 2026?

Across the 25 dog groomers confirmed here, covering Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Teignmouth & Dawlish, Totnes, Kingsbridge & Salcombe and Dartmouth, only two publish an actual price list, and one more gives a broad range without naming individual services. That's not unusual for dog grooming, an appointment-based trade where most salons and mobile groomers price per dog rather than off a fixed menu, but it does mean most of what you'll pay here has to come from a phone call, not a webpage.

What is published

Debs Groom & Zoom also states its prices generally run up to around £70 depending on the service and the dog's size, and The Flufftastic Groomer in Brixham gives a similar range without naming individual services: roughly £5 to £70 depending on the service and the dog's size category (small, medium, large or giant), with additional fees where a coat is matted. None of the other 22 groomers listed for this town publishes a figure of any kind, either on its own website or in the directory listings and search results this research drew on.

Why prices stay off the page

Several of the businesses here describe exactly the kind of appointment they run, and it explains the gap. Barking Bay Beauties and GlamWags Dog Grooming both work one-to-one by appointment; Grooming Gosh and Scruffy Pups Dog Grooming describe one-to-one, tailor-made or cage-free grooming rather than a walk-in salon floor. Three of the 25, The Lady Dog Groomer, Barking Lovely and The Dashing Dog Devon, are fully mobile with no fixed premises at all, so a quote also has to account for where you live. A groomer working dog by dog like this has good reason to quote once they've seen the coat, rather than publish one flat rate that fits none of them.

What to ask when you call

• The price for your dog's breed, size and coat condition specifically, not just a generic "groom" figure, since a heavily matted or double coat costs more to work through everywhere prices are mentioned here.
• Whether nail clipping, ear cleaning or teeth cleaning are included or charged as extras; several businesses list these as named services, which usually means they're priced separately too.
• If you're calling one of the three mobile groomers, whether the quote includes the call-out or whether that's added once they know your postcode.
• How far ahead you need to book, and whether a longer first appointment (common where a groomer works one dog at a time) affects the price or the available slots.

Until you've had that call, treat any figure you see elsewhere for a Torquay or Torbay groomer as a rough guide at best; the only firm numbers currently on record are the four above.
