| Just curious, how much does your groomer charge you? I just got my Yorkie's first groomng and it was $20.00... seems kinda high, I was thinking more like 15 for such a tiny little guy but I don't know what is average. |

| I wish it were only 20.00 here! I pay 34.99 for Meeko for a puppy cut and an additional 8.00 for Rebel to be scissor cut. I tip her 10.00 for the 2 of them. |

| oh wow, i might be overpaying?? I found a groomer with experience in puppies and hand blowdrying, the place looks very clean and all... but they set the price for 60. I still will go there (the appointment is tomorrow!), i honestly had no idea what the price ranges are... It's upstate NY and they charge way more for everything here.

| I pay Meeko's groomer $40 for his bath and cut, plus $7 for brushing his teeth. I usually tip him $5. At Christmas, I give him $20. |
