4 groomers found in Bristol
Bristol is one of the UK's largest dog-owning cities, with a thriving network of professional groomers spanning every postcode from BS1 in the centre out to BS9 in the north and BS3 in the south. From boutique salons in Clifton and Redland to busy family groomers in Bedminster, Southville and Fishponds, Bristol owners have access to a deep pool of qualified, insured groomers — many specialising in breed-specific styling, hand stripping, and gentle handling for anxious dogs.
Whether you're walking your dog on the Downs, around Ashton Court or along the harbourside, there's a Bristol groomer within easy reach. The city's strong cockapoo, doodle, spaniel and French bulldog populations mean most local groomers are well-practised with these breeds, and mobile services are particularly useful for residents in areas like Henleaze, Bishopston and Easton where parking can be tricky.

Dog grooming in Bristol typically costs £35–£50 for small breeds (Yorkies, Bichons, Cavaliers) and £55–£85 for medium to large breeds (Cockapoos, Doodles, Retrievers). Boutique salons in Clifton and Redland may charge a little more for show-standard trims, while suburban groomers in Bedminster, Fishponds and Easton tend to be slightly more affordable.
Mobile dog groomers cover most of Bristol — including Clifton, Bedminster, Bishopston, Southville, Henleaze, Redland and Fishponds. A mobile groomer brings a fully equipped van to your door, which is particularly useful in areas with limited parking or for nervous dogs that don't travel well.
Yes — Bristol has several experienced hand stripping specialists who work with wire-coated terriers (Border, Lakeland, Cairn, Westies), Schnauzers, and Cocker Spaniels. Hand stripping is the recommended traditional technique for these breeds as it preserves coat texture and colour.
Most dogs benefit from a professional groom every 6–8 weeks. Continuously-coated breeds (Poodles, Cockapoos, Bichons) typically need grooming every 4–6 weeks to prevent matting. Double-coated breeds (Labradors, Huskies, Border Collies) need less frequent full grooms but benefit from de-shedding treatments during the spring and autumn moult.
