What changes the price
Size
A full groom starts at $75 for a small dog and $125 for an extra large one.
Coat
A curly coat adds a median of $20 at salons that price both.
Matting
Dematting is usually extra, and often charged by the time it takes.
Add-ons

Coming to you

What to ask when you call
- “What is the price for my dog's size and coat?”
- “Is there an extra charge for matting, and how is it priced?”
- “Are nails, ears and a sanitary trim included in the full groom?”
- “Does the price change if my dog needs extra time?”
