Anything a groomer flags is worth following up — our guide covers the best vets in Lincolnshire.

What Grooming Costs: A General UK Guide
Every salon sets its own pricing, so treat this as an indicative UK-wide range rather than Lincoln-specific research:
| Size / Type | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Small breeds | £25 – £45 |
| Medium breeds | £35 – £65 |
| Large / long coats | £60 – £95+ |
| Nail trim only | £8 – £15 |
| De-matting (heavy) | Time-based, quoted individually |
Always confirm prices directly with your chosen salon. Coat condition, size, and behaviour can affect final costs.
Grooming Tips for Lincoln Dog Owners
-
Brush friction zones (ears, armpits, tail base) 2–3× per week to prevent matting.
-
Rinse off mud after countryside walks to keep coats clean between grooms.
-
Walk your dog before their appointment to help them settle. One of our Lincoln dog sitters can do that for you.
-
Ask your groomer about drying methods if your dog is sound-sensitive — and if that sensitivity shows up elsewhere too, one of Lincolnshire’s dog trainers can help with desensitisation work at home.
-
Book regular appointments — especially during summer when groomers fill up quickly.
Consistent grooming appointments make life easier for both you and your dog, and they help build trust between your dog and their groomer over time.
