Frequently Asked Questions
How much does dog grooming cost?
Dog grooming typically costs $30-90 for basic grooming and $50-150+ for full-service grooming. Prices vary by dog size, coat type, and services needed. Small dogs cost $30-50, medium dogs $40-70, and large dogs $60-100+. Breeds with complex coats like Poodles or Shih Tzus cost more.
How much does cat grooming cost?
Cat grooming ranges from $50-100 for basic grooming to $75-150 for full service including lion cuts or dematting. Long-haired cats cost more due to extra time needed. Many cats require sedation for grooming, which adds $20-50 to the cost.
What is included in a full grooming service?
Full grooming typically includes bath with shampoo and conditioner, blow dry and brush out, haircut or trim, nail trimming, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, and sometimes teeth brushing. Premium packages may include specialty shampoos, cologne, and bandanas.
How often should dogs be groomed?
Grooming frequency depends on coat type. Dogs with continuously growing hair (Poodles, Shih Tzus) need grooming every 4-6 weeks. Double-coated breeds benefit from grooming every 8-12 weeks. Short-haired dogs may only need professional grooming every 3-4 months.
Is mobile pet grooming more expensive?
Mobile grooming typically costs 20-40% more than salon grooming, adding $15-40 to the base price. The premium covers travel time, fuel, and the convenience of at-home service. Many pet owners find the reduced stress for their pet worth the extra cost.
Why does grooming cost more for matted pets?
Matted coats require extra time and specialized tools to safely remove. Severe matting may take 2-3 times longer than regular grooming. Most groomers charge $20-75 extra for dematting, or may require a shave-down if matting is too severe, which is safer for the pet.
