How we chose

We prioritised Google star scores visible on reputable local directories, favoured salons with clear addresses in Belfast, and balanced by neighbourhood coverage (BT4, BT11, BT15). If you’re outside the city boundary (e.g., Newtownabbey), check nearby options too.

What to ask before you book

  • Handling & setup: Is it one-to-one or a busier multi-table environment?

  • Drying approach: Hand dry vs. high-velocity—how do they desensitise noise-sensitive dogs?

  • Coat plan: How often your breed should visit; home tools to prevent matting.

  • Policies: De-matting fees, flea protocols, cancellations, and teeth-cleaning options.

Typical Belfast pricing (guide only)

Expect roughly: Small breeds £35–£55, medium £45–£70, large/giant £60–£95+. Nail trims are commonly £8–£15; de-matting is time-based. Check each salon’s quote before booking.

Keep coats healthy between grooms

  • Brush smarter, not harder: 2–4× weekly with a slicker/comb that suits your coat type.

  • Support from the inside:  best dog vitamins for skin & coat— we encourage owners to combine nutrition with regular grooming.

  • Desensitise to touch & sound: Short, reward-based sessions at home with clippers/dryer off, then briefly on.

  • If your dog barks or over-arouses around grooming:  use e-collars for dogs
