What Affects the Price?
- Location — London 20–30% more than the North
- Coat condition — matted coats take longer and cost more
- Dog temperament — nervous dogs may incur a surcharge
- Mobile vs salon — mobile typically £10–£20 more
- Extras — teeth brushing, conditioning treatment
💡 Pro Tip: Regular grooming is always cheaper per visit than infrequent. A dog groomed every 8 weeks stays tangle-free. A dog groomed every 6 months may have matting requiring 3+ hours — and costs significantly more.
