How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the groomer’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Houston dog groomers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from over 500 reviews carries more weight than one from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does dog grooming cost in Houston? (2026)

None of the groomers on this page publish fixed grooming pricing, since cost depends heavily on breed size, coat condition and which services are included. Ask each groomer directly for a quote based on your dog’s specific needs.

Serving Houston and the surrounding metro

These groomers cover Central Houston, the Heights and River Oaks, with several offering mobile service across the broader metro area. Searching for a dog groomer near me? Every listing above shows a live phone number so you can check current availability and coverage directly.

What to ask before you book a dog groomer

  • Is the service mobile, or do you need to drop off at a storefront?
  • What’s the process if your dog is anxious, senior or has a medical condition?
  • Are grooming rooms private, one-on-one, or open-floor with multiple dogs at once?
  • What happens if something goes wrong during the groom, and how is it communicated to you?
  • Is there a membership or recurring-visit discount available?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these dog groomers?

We started from every dog groomer in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which of these groomers offer mobile service?

Kontota of Central Houston and Lucky Dog Mobile Groomers both bring a fully equipped grooming van directly to your home.

Is there a groomer here suited to anxious or senior dogs specifically?

Kontota and Scenthound Houston River Oaks both have multiple reviews describing successful, patient handling of anxious, senior or medically complex dogs.

The bottom line

Kontota of Central Houston is the safe default given its perfect rating and mobile convenience, while Scenthound is worth a look if you want a wellness check built into every visit. Whichever you book, ask directly about their process for anxious or first-time dogs.
