    Advertise your dog grooming business

    Salon or mobile, your grooming business gets its own page on PetTrader and appears on the local pages people search when they are looking for a groomer near them.

    Quick answer

    Where can I advertise my dog grooming business?

    A directory subscription on PetTrader is £10 a month or £100 a year and gives your grooming business its own page — services, prices, photos, area covered, phone and booking link — plus a place on the grooming and local pages people search. No licence is required to list a grooming business; a council licence field is there only if you also board or breed. The first 200 trade members join free for a year.

    • Add extra categories if you also walk, sit or train
    • One free news post, one free event and one free job advert each year

    £10 a month or £100 a year for a directory listing — twelve months for the price of ten. Featured placement in your area is an optional £20 a month.

    The first 200 trade members to join get their whole first year free — there is no charge at all until the 12 months are up, and you can cancel any time before renewal.

    How it works for dog groomers

    You do not need a breeding licence

    Grooming, walking, training and sitting businesses do not need a council dog breeding licence, and nothing on PetTrader asks you for one. If you hold a licence for boarding or home boarding you can show it on your page as a trust badge, but it is entirely optional.

    Show your prices if you want to

    Groomers who publish a price guide — small breed, double coat, de-matting, puppy first groom — get far better enquiries, because people arrive already knowing roughly what it will cost. You can publish a full list, a from-price or nothing at all.

    What your profile page shows

    Your business gets its own page: description, photos, the pet types and areas you cover, opening hours, phone, website, prices if you want to publish them, and any licences or registrations you hold. It is indexed by Google in its own right, so people searching for your service in your town can find it directly.

    How long it takes to get listed

    Joining, filling in your contact details and your business details takes around ten minutes on a phone. There is nothing to install and no sales call — you fill the form, claim your free first year and your page is live.

    Common questions

    Do I need a licence to advertise as a groomer?+

    No. Grooming is not a licensable activity in its own right, so you can list without a council licence. Only breeding, boarding, day care, selling animals and hiring out horses need one.

    I am mobile — can I cover several towns?+

    Yes. You set the areas you travel to, and your page appears on the local pages for each of them.

    Do I have to pay anything to join right now?+

    No. The first 200 breeders, pet shops, veterinary practices and pet service businesses to join get a completely free first year. You add a card so the subscription continues afterwards, but nothing is taken during those 12 months and you can cancel before renewal.

    Can I cancel?+

    Yes, at any time from your dashboard. Your listing stays live until the end of the period you have paid for (or the end of your free year), and you are not charged again.

    Will my business page show up on Google?+

    Your page has its own web address and is submitted in our sitemap, so it can be found in search on its own — as well as through our directory pages for your service and your area.
