How we chose

We prioritised Google star scores and review volumes displayed on reliable local directories and profiles (ThreeBestRated, Wheree, Yell/Facebook for corroboration), focusing on businesses clearly located in Manchester (M postcodes) and serving common needs: puppy intros, hand-stripping, de-shedding and teeth care. Always reconfirm live ratings before booking.

What to ask before you book

  • Set-up & handling: One-to-one or multi-table salon? Drying cabinets used, or hand/box drying?

  • Noise desensitisation: How they acclimate dogs to HV dryers/clippers.

  • Coat plan: Ideal visit frequency for your breed; tools you should use at home.

  • Policies: De-matting charges, flea protocol, cancellations, and dental add-ons.

Typical Manchester pricing (guide only)

Expect roughly £35–£55 (small), £45–£70 (medium), £60–£95+ (large/giant). Nail trims are often £8–£15; de-matting is time-based. (Get an exact quote from your chosen salon.)

Keep coats healthy between grooms

  • Brush smarter: 2–4× weekly with a slicker/comb suited to your coat type; mist detangler to avoid breakage.

  • Support from the inside: best dog vitamins for skin & coat

  • Sound & touch training: Short, reward-based sessions with clippers/dryer off, then briefly on.

  • Over-arousal or barking during grooms? Are e-collars humane for calm, reliable behaviour?

  • Between-groom tidy-ups: Book “bath & tidy” between full clips to prevent matting in friction zones (ears, armpits, tail base).
