Frequently Asked Questions
What's the average cost of grooming for my dog's size?
Small dogs (under 25 lbs): $25–55. Medium dogs (26–50 lbs): $45–75. Large dogs (51–80 lbs): $65–100. Extra-large (80+ lbs): $85–130+. Prices are higher for doodle breeds due to coat complexity.
Why is grooming so expensive for doodles?
Doodle coats (Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, etc.) are dense, curly, and mat easily. They require specialized tools and significantly more time to groom properly than most breeds.
Can I negotiate the price with a groomer?
Most groomers have set prices based on breed and service, but asking about package deals, off-peak discounts, or multi-pet rates is always reasonable.
How often should I groom my dog to save money?
Counterintuitively, more frequent grooming saves money. Dogs groomed every 4–6 weeks rarely develop matting, which eliminates de-mat surcharges and shortens appointment time.
