Question 2

Which of these cities is cheapest and most expensive for dog grooming?

Accepted Answer

Among the places where enough salons publish a full-groom price to compare, the lowest median is O'Fallon at $45 across 3 salons, and the highest is Washington at $140 across 9 salons. The range inside one city is usually wider than the gap between cities, because size and coat move the price more than the postcode does.

Question 3

Does a doodle or a poodle cost more to groom?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and by a consistent amount. Where a salon publishes a price for a curly, poodle or doodle coat beside a plain coat at the same size of dog, the curly coat costs $20 more, about 19% on top of the base groom. That is the median across 96 salons that publish both, ranging from $5 to $85 extra. The comparison is made inside each salon rather than across salons, so it measures the coat and not the neighbourhood. A curly coat takes longer to brush out, mats faster between grooms, and is usually scissored rather than clipped.

Question 4

Where do these grooming prices come from?

Accepted Answer

17,543 prices read from the published menus of 1490 salons, city by city, as of October 2026. Nothing is a national average, an estimate or a survey: a salon that publishes no price is left out, and every figure on a city page names how many salons it rests on.
