What Affects Grooming Prices?

Dog Size & Weight

Larger dogs require more time, products, and physical effort. Giant breeds can take 3-4 hours compared to 1-2 hours for small dogs.

Coat Type & Condition

Curly, matted, or double coats require specialized techniques and more time. Well-maintained coats are quicker to groom.

Service Type

Full grooming with styling costs more than basic bath and dry. Specialized services like hand stripping command premium prices.

Location & Overhead

Central locations and premium salons typically charge more. Mobile groomers may include travel costs in their pricing.

Dog Behavior

Anxious or aggressive dogs require extra time and patience. Some groomers charge additional fees for difficult dogs.

Additional Services

Extras like flea treatments, teeth cleaning, or nail painting add to the base grooming cost.
