About
How this directory works
A free listing of UK dog groomers, organised by town, county and by service, with direct contact details and no booking fees in the way.
What we do
We list dog groomers based in UK towns and counties, alongside plain information about what each kind of groom involves and what it usually costs by size and coat. You contact the business directly using the details on its page.
Salons, home salons and mobile groomers
Each listing says how the business works: from a salon you visit, from a salon at the groomer's home, or from a van that comes to you. For a home salon we show the town and the first half of the postcode, not the street, unless the business publishes its address itself.
Qualifications
Dog grooming is not a licensed activity anywhere in the UK, and there is no public register of qualified groomers. Where a business says it holds a qualification, the listing says so in those terms. Where it links an issuer record we can check, the listing links it too. Licensing by nation.
National chains
In-store salons that belong to a national retail chain are listed, and marked as such, but they never count towards whether a town has a page of its own.
What we do not do
- We take no commission and sell no leads. Listing is free; Premium is an optional paid extra for groomers, and it buys tools, a verification check and badges, never a position.
- Position is never for sale. Listings are ordered by how recently they were checked and how complete they are, and by nothing else.
- We do not rank or review businesses. There are no scores and no verdicts here. We publish facts about who trades where and at what.
- We do not copy ratings or reviews from other platforms.
How listings get here
Businesses are found through public sources: local search listings, businesses' own websites and social pages, and Companies House. Each listing records where the business is actually based and why we think so, and each page shows when it was last checked. Franchise networks and lead-generation sites that present a national operation as a local business are not listed.
What the badges mean
Not yet claimed by the owner. The listing was built from the business's own public details and checked on the date shown, but the owner has not been in touch with us yet. It says nothing about the groomer. Claiming is free.
Owner verified (paid check). The business pays for Premium, which includes a check, and a person confirmed with it, on the phone number or email it already publishes, that it runs this listing and that the details are current. The badge shows only once that check is done, and comes off a year later unless the check is repeated. It is not a judgement on the grooming.
Premium (paid plan). The groomer pays £12 a month for tools: their own price list on the profile, photos of their work, a note on availability, and rebook reminders for their clients. It includes the yearly verification check; the Owner verified badge appears once that check is done. It is not a quality mark.
Neither paid badge changes the order listings appear in. Order is set by the date we last checked a listing's public details and how complete those details are, and nothing a business pays for touches either.
