Best Dog Groomers in Jesmond
From a dedicated salon on Jesmond Road to mobile groomers who come to your door, here are the best dog grooming options in and around Jesmond.
Jesmond is one of the most dog-friendly neighbourhoods in Newcastle. Between the dene, the parks, and a growing number of cafes that welcome muddy paws, it is a brilliant place to live with a dog. But even the most rugged terrier needs a bath eventually, and some breeds need regular professional grooming to stay healthy and comfortable.
The good news is that there are solid options both in Jesmond itself and in the surrounding areas. Here is our guide to the best dog groomers within easy reach.
My Dog Barber
My Dog Barber at 235 Jesmond Road, NE2 1LA is the standout option for Jesmond residents, and for good reason — it is the only dedicated dog grooming salon actually in the neighbourhood. The salon is modern and purpose-built, with a calm, professional atmosphere that puts nervous dogs at ease.
Services include full grooms, bath and brush-outs, puppy introductions, ultrasonic teeth cleaning, and a signature spa package featuring clay detox, blueberry facial, and paw care. The team are experienced with a wide range of breeds and coat types, and the emphasis is firmly on keeping dogs comfortable throughout the process.
Open Tuesday to Saturday, 8:30am to 5:30pm. Appointments can be booked online through their website, which makes scheduling straightforward.
Best for: The only dedicated dog grooming salon in Jesmond. Professional, calm, and well-reviewed by local dog owners.
For Paws
For Paws at 15 Church Road, Gosforth, NE3 1TX has been part of the Gosforth shopping scene for well over a decade, and the grooming service is a big part of why. It is a pet shop first and foremost, but the grooming side of the business is well-established, with experienced groomers handling everything from standard washes to full breed-specific styling.
Grooming prices start at around £49 for a full groom, with baths from £20 (more for larger breeds) and nail trimming at £12. The shop also stocks a good range of food, treats, and accessories, so you can pick up supplies while your dog is being pampered.
Gosforth is a short drive or bus ride from Jesmond — no more than ten minutes — and the Church Road location has easy parking nearby.
Best for: A well-established Gosforth pet shop with experienced groomers. Good for combining a groom with a supply run.
Pets at Home Groom Room, Byker
The Groom Room at Pets at Home on the Newcastle Shopping Park, Fossway, NE6 2UJ is the most accessible chain option for Jesmond dog owners. It is a short drive down the Ouseburn Valley — around ten minutes from central Jesmond.
Services range from puppy grooms (from £20, suitable for puppies between 8 weeks and 6 months) to full signature bath and brush packages. There is also a wash-and-go option from £15, which is useful for a quick freshen-up between full grooms. Nail clipping and spa treatments are available as add-ons.
The Groom Room is open seven days a week, with limited appointments on Sundays and Mondays. Being part of Pets at Home means you can browse the shop while you wait, and there is free parking on site.
Best for: Chain option with consistent standards, seven-day opening, and free parking. Good for puppy introductions.
Soapy Mutts
If you would rather not leave the house, Soapy Mutts is a mobile dog grooming service that has been operating across Newcastle, Gateshead, and Durham since 2000. Owner Lisa brings a fully equipped grooming van directly to your door, which means no car journeys, no waiting rooms, and no stress for dogs who dislike unfamiliar environments.
The service is one-to-one — your dog gets individual attention throughout — and everything is done within around an hour. The Platinum Service (bath, clip, and nail trim) starts at £35 for small dogs and £50 or more for larger breeds. The Gold Service (bath and nail trim without clipping) starts at £30.
Mobile grooming is particularly good for elderly dogs, anxious dogs, or owners without a car. Soapy Mutts covers the Jesmond area and bookings can be made by phone.
Best for: Mobile grooming that comes to your door. Ideal for anxious dogs or owners without transport.
What to Look For in a Dog Groomer
Not all dogs need the same level of grooming. Short-coated breeds like whippets and staffies may only need an occasional bath, while breeds like cockapoos, spaniels, and poodle crosses need regular professional grooming every six to eight weeks to prevent matting and skin problems.
When choosing a groomer, it is worth asking about their experience with your specific breed, how they handle nervous dogs, and what products they use. A good groomer will always offer a consultation before the first appointment and will never rush the process.
For puppies, an early introduction to grooming — even just a gentle bath and brush — helps build positive associations that make future visits much easier. Several of the groomers listed above offer dedicated puppy packages for exactly this reason.
A Note on Jesmond Dene
If your dog has just been for a swim in the Ouseburn or rolled in something unspeakable near Pets Corner, you will understand why living close to a good groomer matters. Jesmond Dene is magnificent, but it does have a way of turning even the most pristine golden retriever into something that looks like it has been living rough for a fortnight.
