Patrícia
Sintra , Aug 2026
Patricia is an excellent professional, and they are extraordinary there. When I take my dog there, she runs out of the car and goes straight to jump on their lap, so that means they are really good and very loving with the animals. My dog comes out of there like she went to a spa, with shiny hair, cut nails, and they even send me beautiful pictures on WhatsApp. The price feels fair, they are very rigorous with the schedule, and I always recommend them because it is very difficult to find a pet shop that does what they do.

It was my first puppy’s visit to the groomer, and I was a little bit nervous, but Pedro was really polite and friendly and looked like he loved animals. My puppy had a full package, shower, cutting, nails, and grooming, and I really liked the result. I could stay nearby and hear the whole process, which made me feel comfortable, and the place felt super clean. I think the price was good for everything he got, and I would go again.

The service went well, I like it a lot, that’s why I come back. She is very attentive, always attentive to what we ask. In my case, because my daughter has a special haircut, she was always attentive. The price felt fair, and I recommend her service to those who need it.
How much do pet grooming cost in Lisbon?
Real price ranges from the jobs our vetted pet grooming actually do. Updated July 2026
Bath and brush
How much does a dog bath cost in Lisbon?
The cheapest service on the list and the most frequent. Many salons sell packages if you go monthly.
Short coat
around €20
Medium or long coat
around €23
Full grooming
How much does dog grooming cost in Lisbon?
Full grooming is priced by coat type and size rather than by breed name, so a long-coated small dog can cost more than a short-coated large one. Matted coats cost extra and take longer.

around €20
Medium or long coat
around €23
Typical fixed price
around €50
Shedding treatment
How much does a de-shedding treatment cost in Lisbon?
Priced above a normal bath because it takes far longer, and worth it for double-coated breeds in a Lisbon summer.
De-shedding treatment
€25 to €50
Typical fixed price
around €50
Ear cleaning
How much does ear cleaning cost in Lisbon?
Normally part of a full groom rather than a separate booking. Persistent ear problems are a vet matter, not a grooming one.

A cosmetic add-on at the salon. Real dental disease needs a vet and anaesthetic, so do not treat this as a substitute.

Fewer salons take cats, and those that do often charge more because it takes two people or sedation-free handling skills. Book ahead.

Typical fixed price
around €50

The standard option and the cheapest, since the groomer is not travelling. Drop-off and collection times are usually fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring pet grooming in Lisbon.
Are there English-speaking pet grooming in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring pet grooming in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring pet grooming in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say pet grooming in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, pet grooming are usually called banhos e tosquias. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find pet grooming I can trust in Lisbon?

Dos and Don’ts as an expat
Key dos and don’ts for ensuring your pet gets the best grooming experience
Do’s
Do Research Groomers' Qualifications
Ensure the groomer has relevant certifications and training in pet grooming. Look for reviews that highlight their educational background and experience, as this can greatly influence the quality and safety of the grooming process for your pet.
Do Read Customer Testimonials
Look for customer reviews that detail positive experiences, particularly those praising the groomer's patience and gentleness with pets. Satisfied customers often share insights that can help you gauge the groomer's ability to handle different breeds and temperaments.
Do Inquire About Grooming Products Used
Ask potential groomers about the products they use during grooming sessions. Opt for service providers who use high-quality, pet-safe shampoos and tools, as this is important for your pet's health and comfort during the grooming process.
Do Visit the Grooming Facility
Schedule a visit to the grooming facility to assess cleanliness, organization, and the overall atmosphere. A well-maintained and welcoming environment often reflects the groomer's professionalism and the level of care they provide to pets.
Dont’s
Don't Skip Checking Groomer Qualifications
Always verify the qualifications and certifications of pet groomers before making an appointment. Unqualified personnel can lead to mishandling of pets, potential injury, or inadequate grooming services, compromising your pet's safety and comfort.
Don't Ignore Reviews and Past Customer Experiences
Neglecting to read customer reviews can lead to disappointing outcomes. Previous clients often share insights about their experiences that can highlight issues such as poor service, negligence, or lack of professionalism. Take time to research and select providers with positive feedback.
Don't Assume All Grooming Facilities Are Clean
Make sure to assess the cleanliness and hygiene of the grooming facility. Reviews frequently mention unclean environments leading to infections or distress for pets. A clean and well-maintained space is crucial for your pet's health and well-being.
Don't Overlook Service Agendas and Packages
Be cautious of vague service descriptions or unclear grooming packages. A lack of transparency can lead to unexpected charges or inadequate services. Ensure you understand what is included in grooming packages to avoid surprises and ensure your pet receives the care they need.
