How much does dog grooming cost in Watford in 2026?
Price transparency is thin among Watford's dog groomers: of the twenty-four businesses listed in this directory, only four publish any prices we could find during research, and only two of those publish a clear full-groom starting price for an ordinary-sized dog. This guide sets out exactly what is published, rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| House4paws Dog & Cat Grooming Spa | North Watford | Dog grooming from £38, cat grooming from £54 |
| Village Dog Grooming | Croxley Green | Full groom from £48, plus published add-ons |
| Patsy's Pooches (mobile) | North Watford | Full groom with haircut from £40, plus a published price list of add-ons |
| Em's Dog Groomers | North Watford | Puppy groom from £30; only a giant-dog full groom price (£95) is published |
Village Dog Grooming's full price list
Village Dog Grooming, a one-to-one salon in Croxley Green, publishes a full groom from £48, ultrasonic teeth cleaning from £25 and a puppy introduction from £25. No size bands are published for the full groom, so ask when you book whether the £48 figure applies to your dog's size and coat.
Patsy's Pooches' full price list
Patsy's Pooches, a mobile groomer covering North Watford, publishes the most complete tariff of any business in this directory: a nail cut or anal gland expression at £15 for any size, a bath and brush from £30, a full groom with haircut from £40, and dematting at £15 per half hour.
House4paws' and Em's price lists
House4paws Dog & Cat Grooming Spa, on St Albans Road, publishes dog grooming from £38, cat grooming from £54 and ultrasonic teeth cleaning from £25. Em's Dog Groomers, in North Watford, publishes a facial treatment from £5, a puppy groom from £30 and a full groom for a giant dog at £95, but no price for a full groom on a small, medium or large dog, so it isn't included as a "from" price on its listing here.
What this suggests
Across the two businesses with a clear full-groom starting price for an ordinary dog, the range runs from £38 (House4paws, described as "dog grooming" rather than "full groom") to £48 (Village Dog Grooming). These two are not necessarily representative of the other twenty-two, so treat this as a starting point for a phone conversation, not a quote.
Why so few prices online
Five of the twenty-four businesses in this directory have no independent website at all, relying instead on directory listings or Facebook, and several more that do have a site still quote on enquiry rather than publishing figures. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size, breed and coat, before booking, and check whether any quote already includes de-matting, flea treatment or a nervous-dog surcharge, since several groomers elsewhere in this directory charge these as extras.
