“A good groom is never cheap, and a cheap groom is never good.” – Jackie Grimmett

Insights from behind the grooming table...

We get it – grooming prices can be a bit of a shock if you’re used to paying £25–£30. But here’s the truth: when done properly, a 1.5 hour groom in 2025 needs to cost at least £55 just to break even.

Why? Because behind every groom is a long list of real costs that most people never see.

We’re talking about:

Insurance (for the business and your dog)

Safe, professional equipment (which constantly needs sharpening, servicing or replacing)

Ongoing training and CPD (because dogs don’t come with manuals)

Specialist products and quality shampoos (and no, we’re not using Fairy Liquid – but yes, some still are 😬)

PPE, utilities, internet, card fees, rent, tax, licenses, and labour – to name just a few

So when you see a full groom priced well under £55, something has to be missing.
Maybe it’s:
– Training
– Insurance
– Quality products
– Time and care
– Or fair pay for the person grooming your dog

In today’s climate, cheap groomers have no choice but to cut corners. It’s not sustainable otherwise.

So the real question is: is your dog worth that little?
Or do they deserve a safe, skilled, well-equipped groom from someone who’s trained, insured and still able to be in business next year?

💛 Thank you for supporting professional groomers. We see your dogs as more than “just a job” – they’re our daily responsibility, and we’re proud to do it properly.

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog.
