Dog Grooming Prices in Ireland (2026): What to Expect

Whether you're a first-time dog owner or switching groomers, knowing what to expect price-wise helps you budget and spot value. Here's the full breakdown for 2026.

Average dog grooming prices in Ireland (2026)

Dog Size	Full Groom	Bath & Brush
Small (Shih Tzu, Maltese, Yorkie)	€30-45	€20-30
Medium (Cockapoo, Cocker Spaniel, Beagle)	€40-60	€25-40
Large (Golden Retriever, Labrador, Husky)	€55-80	€35-55
Giant (Bernese, Newfoundland, Great Dane)	€70-100+	€45-70

What affects the price?

Six factors determine what you'll pay:

1. Dog size — Bigger dog, more time, higher price. Simple.
2. Coat type — Curly and double coats (Poodles, Goldens) take more work than smooth coats (Beagles, Boxers).
3. Coat condition — Matted coats cost more because they take longer. Regular grooming actually saves you money long-term.
4. Service level — A full groom (bath, cut, nails, ears) costs more than a bath-and-brush.
5. Location — Dublin is typically 10-15% more expensive than rural areas.
6. Mobile vs salon — Mobile groomers charge a premium for convenience (€10-20 extra).
