How much does dog grooming cost in Worthing in 2026?
Published pricing is the exception rather than the rule among Worthing's dog groomers: of the eighteen businesses listed in this directory, only four publish an actual price list. This guide sets out exactly what those four charge, rather than guessing at the others.

What sits behind the headline figures
Pooched Paws, in Durrington since 2015, is the only salon in this directory with a full published tier: a bath and dry from £25 for a small dog up to £36 for a large one, and a full groom from £42 up to £65. Molly & Friends Dog Hotel in Broadwater publishes a similar spread, plus separate figures for nail clipping (£10) and ultrasonic teeth cleaning, which starts at £40 for a first session and drops to £20–£25 for a follow-up. Fresh Paws Dog Grooming, a mobile van-based service, is the most detailed of the four, itemising a full groom, a lighter bath-and-brush option, a puppy groom for dogs up to six months, and small add-ons for nail clips, eye and paw tidies, de-matting, flea treatment and tick removal separately. Dinky Dogs Grooming Worthing, specialising in small breeds since 2009, publishes a single starting figure of £40 with no further breakdown.
Why so few prices online
Three of the eighteen businesses here (Mucky Mutz to Clean Cuts, Mo's Dog Grooming, Shaggy Chic Dog Grooming) have no independent website at all, relying on directory listings or Facebook instead, which largely explains their silence on price. Several others with a working site, including Katie's Dog Grooming, Squiggly Paws, Razzle Dazzle, Scissor Hounds and Scruff to Buff, still quote on enquiry rather than publishing figures. Wurly Woofs' own site references a five-star customer review but gives no linkable Google Maps profile to verify it, and it publishes no prices either. Ask for a written quote, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory.
What this suggests
Four data points aren't a market rate, but they are a starting point for a phone call: across Durrington, Broadwater, Goring-by-Sea and the mobile service covering the wider town, a full groom for a small dog runs from roughly £35 to £45, rising to £65 for a large dog wherever that tier is published. There is no published Worthing figure for hand-stripping, de-matting beyond Fresh Paws' £10 fee, or teeth cleaning beyond Molly & Friends' figures, so ask directly if your dog needs one of those.
