How much should you pay to groom your dog? Dog grooming prices in Dubai range from around AED 120 for a simple bath to AED 350 or more for a full groom of a large, thick-coated breed. The final figure depends on your dog’s size, coat and condition, and on whether you choose a salon or a mobile groomer. This guide shows typical prices, what changes them and how to avoid surprises.
Prices are approximate, based on published rates from Dubai groomers in 2026. Always confirm the final price and whether VAT is included.

What affects dog grooming cost in Dubai?
- Size and weight. Bigger dogs take longer and use more product.
- Coat type. Double coats (Husky, Golden Retriever) need de-shedding. Curly coats (Poodle, doodles, Shih Tzu) need haircuts and detangling.
- Coat condition. Matted coats cost more because de-matting takes time, and severe mats may need a shave.
- Temperament. Anxious or very active dogs may need extra time.
- Mobile or salon. Mobile dog grooming in Dubai is often a little more expensive than a salon, but many mobile groomers include travel in the price. Ask about call-out fees.
- VAT. Some groomers quote prices with VAT and some without.
Which grooming does your breed need?
Coat type | Breeds | Best service | How often |
|---|---|---|---|
Double coat | Husky, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd | Bath + de-shedding | Every 6–8 weeks |
Curly or long coat | Poodle, doodles, Shih Tzu, Maltese | Full groom with haircut | Every 4–6 weeks |
Short coat | Labrador, Beagle, Boxer | Bath & brush | Every 6–8 weeks |
Pick the right service and you may avoid paying for extras. A husky that is regularly de-shedded rarely needs a long, expensive session, and a Poodle groomed on schedule avoids matting fees.
How much does grooming cost per year?
If you groom a small to large dog eight times a year, expect about AED 1,600–2,900 at full-groom rates. Alternating full grooms with cheaper bath and brush sessions lowers that figure. To plan for the whole year, see how dog grooming prices in Dubai fit into your monthly pet budget.
How to keep dog grooming costs down?
- Brush at home several times a week, especially long and double coats.
- Groom on schedule. Regular sessions cost less than rescuing a matted coat.
- Choose the right package. You may not need a full groom every time.
- Ask what is included before you book, including VAT and any travel fee.
- Book regular slots and ask about multi-pet discounts.
