“Dog groomers near me” — find the best match in Bath
If you’re literally searching dog groomers near me in Bath, try adding your neighbourhood (e.g., “BA1” or “Combe Down”) and your dog’s coat type (e.g., “hand-strip”). For anxious or car-averse dogs, consider mobile services covering Bath — for example, Woofingtons serves Bristol and Bath with a fully equipped van.
FAQs
Are same-day appointments possible?
Sometimes — ask to join a cancellation list and try mid-week mornings.
What should I bring?
Photos of your preferred style, any vet/skin notes, and your dog’s usual harness/lead. For nervous dogs, bring high-value treats and a familiar blanket.
How do I keep the groom longer?
Brush appropriately for the coat (slicker/comb for curly; rake/undercoat tool for double coats), use a detangle spray, and schedule before matting returns.
P.S. If your dog gets the zoomies after a groom, channel that energy with positive play — our Automatic Ball Launcher for Dogs and Calmdogs® Vitamins or Calming Treats for Dogs are popular with Bath owners
