How much does dog grooming cost in York in 2026?
Published pricing is rare among York's dog groomers: of the eighteen businesses listed in this directory, only two, Toptail Dog Grooming in Acomb and Fluffs Dog Grooming in Haxby and Wigginton, publish a genuine price list. This guide sets out exactly what is published, rather than guessing at the rest.
Published prices, September 2026
| Groomer | Where | What's published |
|---|---|---|
| Toptail Dog Grooming | Acomb | Nail clipping £10; hand stripping from £50; bath & dry from £20 (small) to £50 (giant); full groom from £35 (small) to £65 (giant); five-session puppy package £90 |
| Fluffs Dog Grooming | Haxby & Wigginton | Puppy grooming £35; full dog grooming from £40; hand stripping from £65; wash, dry & brush from £30 |
What the two published lists show
Toptail Dog Grooming, run by Emily in Acomb since 2018, has the fullest price breakdown found in this research: a full groom scales with size from £35 for a small dog up to £65 for a giant breed, hand stripping starts at £50, and there's a late-collection fee of £5 per 15 minutes. Fluffs Dog Grooming, run by Lucy covering Haxby, Wigginton and nearby villages, prices full dog grooming from £40, puppy grooming at a flat £35, and a wash, dry and brush from £30. Both businesses are clear that these are starting points: the price on the day depends on your dog's size, breed and coat condition.
Why so few prices online
Several of the businesses in this directory have no independent website at all, relying instead on Facebook, Instagram or a listing in a directory such as mypetgroomer.co.uk, which likely explains much of the silence on price. Others that do have a working site of their own, including Majobi Dog Groomers & Spa, Snooties Groomers, Doggie & Moggie and Shampooch Dog Groomers, still quote on enquiry rather than publishing figures. No star rating or aggregator price figure is shown for any York business in this directory either, since none was confirmed on a source this directory can independently verify and link to. Ask for a price, or an estimate based on your dog's size and coat, before booking anywhere in this directory.
What this suggests
Two data points aren't a market rate, but they're a starting point for a phone conversation: Toptail's £35 and Fluffs' £40 for a full groom, both from businesses in the Acomb and Haxby & Wigginton areas, are the only figures on record across all eighteen businesses covered here. There's no published York figure for a fixed city-centre salon, since no salon inside York's city centre postcode was found at all in this research, and the two mobile operators listed, Park Up 'n' Pamper and Marmaduke's Mobile Dog Grooming Service, don't publish prices either. Ask what a callout or travel charge looks like if you're booking a mobile groomer.
