What dog owners say

Our doodle gets terribly matted and the groomer Wagtails recommended was so patient and gentle. He actually fell asleep on the table. Best groom he’s ever had.

Katie L.

Billericay

Professional, clean studio, and a groomer who genuinely loves dogs. Our terrier looks amazing and was relaxed throughout. We’re regulars now.

David S.

We have a nervous spaniel and finding a groomer who could handle her was hard. The one Wagtails recommended was incredible - calm, patient, no rushing.

Dog Grooming FAQs

How often should my dog be groomed?
It depends on the breed. Long-haired breeds may need grooming every 4-6 weeks, while short-haired breeds can go 8-12 weeks. Regular brushing at home helps maintain coat health between professional grooms.
What grooming services are typically included?
A full groom usually includes a bath, blow-dry, brush-out, haircut or trim, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and sanitary trim. Many groomers also offer individual services like bath-and-brush or nail-only appointments.
Can nervous dogs be groomed?
Yes. Our recommended groomers are experienced with anxious dogs and use gentle, force-free techniques. Many offer quiet, one-to-one sessions to keep stress to a minimum.
How much does dog grooming cost in Essex?
Prices vary by breed, size, and coat condition. A full groom typically ranges from £30-£60 for small dogs and £50-£90 for larger breeds. Our recommended groomers provide transparent pricing.
