Websites for dog groomers
Owners searching “how much is a dog grooming” want a price for their dog, not a starting price for a small one. A groomer’s page should price by size or breed, say what a full groom includes, and reassure owners about how their dog will be handled.
Before they choose a dog groomer
How much for my dog?
Price by size (small, medium, large, giant) or by breed for the common ones, and say what can add to it: matted coats, hand stripping, a dog that needs extra time.
What is included?
Spell out a full groom (bath, dry, clip or scissor, nails, ears) against a bath and tidy, so owners compare like with like.
Will my dog be looked after?
Say how you handle nervous or elderly dogs, whether dogs are caged while drying, and whether owners can stay. This is what worries first-time customers most.
Do you come to me?
Searches for mobile dog groomers are common in the trade. If you groom from a van, say which areas you cover; if you have a salon, say where and whether there is parking.

Whether you board or look after dogs as well
Grooming on its own needs no licence in England, but dog boarding, home boarding and day care do. If you offer them, show your council licence and its star rating. The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018.
Qualifications and insurance
There is no compulsory qualification, so owners look for one. Name any grooming qualification you hold and say you are insured, if you are.
Your rules on vaccinations and fleas
If you ask for up-to-date vaccinations or turn away dogs with fleas, state it before booking.
Ferndale Dog Grooming, a fictional groomer, prices by dog size, lists what each groom includes and explains how nervous dogs are handled.
Showing your prices
A table of prices by size, with a note of what adds cost, answers the most common question in the trade before the phone rings. Keep it current: an out-of-date price causes more trouble than no price.

Dog groomers: questions
How much does a dog grooming session cost?
It depends on size, coat and condition. A groomer’s website should show prices by size or breed and what a full groom includes, so you know before you book.
Does a dog groomer need a licence in the UK?
Not for grooming alone in England. Boarding, home boarding and day care need a council licence under the 2018 regulations.
What should a mobile dog grooming website include?
The towns you cover, what the van has (warm water, drying), prices by size, how long a groom takes and how to book.
How much does a website for dog groomers cost?
Ours is £49 upfront for a one-page website, and £20 a month for the care plan that comes with it (hosting, updates and support), with a 12-month minimum term.
