Dog Grooming in Denver — Free Quotes from Local Groomers

Tell us about your dog once and independent Denver groomers, from Uptown salons to vans that come to your driveway, reply with availability and prices.

Free, no obligation. We pass your request to independent local providers who reply directly.

How the free quote works

  • Free, no obligation. One request, no account, no payment. Groomers reply with availability and you choose.
  • Independent local providers. Salons, mobile vans and self-wash shops in Denver set their own prices and schedules; we don’t groom dogs ourselves.
  • Licensing checked where we list it. Colorado requires a PACFA groomer licence for salons, mobile vans and self-wash stations. Our listings carry the tag only when confirmed; check any business on the CDA Active Facility List.

Colorado Outdoor Dogs is an independent directory. We don’t provide boarding, daycare, grooming or training ourselves. When you send a request we share your details with the matched provider(s), who may pay us a referral fee. Verify PACFA licensing, vaccination policies and pricing directly with the business.

What to expect

Published prices as of October 2026; typical ranges, not quotes. Providers set their own prices, so confirm with the business.

Denver groomers price by size and coat, then adjust for time. A full groom includes a bath, blow dry, haircut, nail trim or grind and ear cleaning; de-shedding, teeth brushing and paw-pad trims are add-ons. Most salons book by appointment and several keep walk-in slots for nails. Bring proof of rabies; facility-based salons may want full vaccination records. Mobile groomers quote at booking and usually cover a set list of zip codes.

Providers you are matched with set their own prices. Use the table as a sanity check, not a quote.

Choosing a groomer in Denver

Neighbourhood salons cluster in the central city. Urban Dogg runs two shops, one on East 19th Avenue in Uptown and one on South Downing a block from Washington Park; both are PACFA licensed, groom dogs and cats by appointment and call same-day appointments a specialty. The Beauty Bark in Park Hill, attached to Ciji’s Natural Pet Supplies on Kearney Street, takes walk-in nail trims for $20 in the mornings and is accepting new clients.

Mobile vans cover most of the city. Barkbus lists Cherry Creek, Wash Park, Highland, LoHi, Park Hill, Central Park, Sloan’s Lake and Capitol Hill among its Denver neighbourhoods and grooms one dog at a time with no cages; Zoomin Groomin’s Central Denver franchise covers zip codes 80202 through 80206, 80209, 80211, 80212, 80216, 80218 and 80223. Both are PACFA licensed as mobile groomers. Expect roughly $20 to $40 above salon prices and book further ahead.

Self-wash is the cheap fix after a muddy weekend. Paws ’n’ Play in Central Park, near 56th Avenue, supplies shampoo, towels, dryers and brushes at its PACFA-licensed self-serve stations; call ahead for a tub, and the eleventh wash is free. It is a short drive from the Greenway Dog Park and the Westerly Creek trails.

Denver specifics. Dogs over six months must be licensed with Denver Animal Protection, and some facility-based salons ask to see the tag. From June through October ask for a foxtail check of paws, ears and armpits with every groom; the dry grass along the South Platte and Cherry Creek trails is where awns get picked up. In winter, a paw-pad trim and shorter nails make icy sidewalks easier.

Dog Grooming in Denver: questions

How much does dog grooming cost in Denver?

Published Denver-area prices in October 2026 ran about $60 to $85 for a small dog’s full groom, $85 to $95 for medium, $105 to $120 or more for large and $100 to $200 for doodles; baths were $35 to $70 and nail trims about $25. Mobile vans add roughly $20 to $40. The groomers you are matched with set their own prices.

Are mobile groomers in Denver licensed?

They are required to be. Colorado’s PACFA law licenses mobile groomers who work from a vehicle or in your home, and the van is inspected before the license is issued. Barkbus and Zoomin Groomin’s central Denver operation carry the PACFA tag in our directory; you can confirm any business on the CDA Active Facility List.

Can I get a same-day grooming appointment in Denver?

Sometimes. Urban Dogg’s Uptown and Wash Park shops advertise same-day appointments as a specialty, and The Beauty Bark takes walk-in nail trims each morning. For full grooms in peak seasons, before the holidays and in spring shedding season, booking a week or two ahead is more realistic.

What do I need to bring to a Denver groomer?

Proof of current rabies vaccination at minimum. Salons inside daycare or boarding facilities usually want full vaccination records on file, sometimes a day or two in advance. Bring notes on anything the groomer should know: skin issues, sore joints, a dog that dislikes dryers. Mention mats honestly so the groomer can plan time.

Is self-wash cheaper than a bath at a salon?

Usually, yes. A self-wash station charges a flat fee for the tub, shampoo, towels and dryer and you do the work, while a salon bath in Denver was published at $35 to $70 by size in October 2026. Self-wash is ideal for a muddy dog between full grooms; it will not replace a haircut or a de-shed treatment.
