| What do you pay for grooming? I know it can vary by region, but am curious those of you who do have your fur babies groomed what do you pay? You would think with the economy the way it has been the prices would be a little lower.....but nope where I have taken mine for over 2 years the price has increased once again since spring. I get Frasier (my 5 yr old bichon) and Cooper 5-5.5 lb yorkie to get groomed at the same time and I am now paying $90.00 for both. They charge me the same for my 17 lb bichon as the do for my 5.5 lb guy who gets a puppy cut each time. Also curious how often do you get your furbabies groomed professionally?

| $50 for my 12.5lb boy. + $10 tip. I think it's a bit much because of the fact that he never has "long" hair and I keep him in a puppy cut/shaved-ish year round. I've begun learning how to do little things myself. He got groomed for the summer in mid-June and just now went back to the groomer this month in October so in between, I kept his face trimmed, his butt, and I haven't yet mastered the cutting of the nails. Eventually, I'd like to learn myself and only take him to the groomers maybe twice a year but as for right now, he goes every 15-16 weeks with me keeping up with him in between!

| I pay $46.00 for both of mine to get a trim every 6 weeks. I am thinking of doing it myself. All the groomer does is sanitary area,trim hair from pads of feet and even up skirts and tips of ears and clip nails. I think I can do it myself,or anyway I am going to try this next time.

| I was trimming Oliver myself when he had a full coat. But for this summer we went with a chihuahua do! Still had his cute face and mustache - I paid $50 +5 tip I use a mobile groomer that comes to my house. I just don't trust the groomers around here. They are too busy and I feel they don't "look out" for the little guys? Just me being paranoid probably ... but oh well He's back on the schedule for Nov for a touch up! |

| My Armani is groomed once a month. I drop her off when I go to work, she has time for a play date and full groom and I pick her up on the way home. The grooming cost $87 and she has to bring her own lunch. Armani weighs 6 pounds and it cost the same price when she had her first professional groom as a 3 pound 7 ounce puppy. She is 1 1/2 years old now. We love Pat her groomer!

| I pay $45 for Piper to be groomed. I have been using the same groomer for 30 years and I just love her. Never once has any of my babies ever been nicked or hurt in any way. Every time I drop Piper off to be groomed I know she will be well taken care of and be absolutely beautiful when I pick her up.

| yikes I hope I didn't offend anyone with my post... I meant that I had not found anyone in my area... not that dropping at a groomer was not a good idea. In SC I had a great groomer that I dropped my pup off at and he was VERY well cared for. |

| Sophie is about 4 lbs and gets a full puppy cut about every 6 weeks. We pay $30.00 plus a $5.00 tip. It takes about an hour so I drop her off, go shopping and then pick her up again. It's less expensive than many I've seen here, maybe because Michigan's economy is about the worst in the country. Sophie likes her groomer who by the way is also a dog trainer. She tells me Sophie is great and holds perfectly still on the table. Are we talking about the same dog!! Jackie & my Sophie |

| I decided to learn how to do it myself! With the help of local groomers I can take care of their grooming needs at home. When I was taking them to the groomer it would cost around $80.00 for 2 dogs!

| 45$ for Lola at this boutique around here. I haven't had her groomed and don't plan on for a while. I think I will just purchase my own stuff and do her myself. |

| Well, I must be truly lucky because my groomer only charges me around $35 for both my boys. They go every two weeks so they get a bath, trim, sanitary shave, and blow dry. I keep both of them long. I've been using this groomer for almost three years and my dogs LOVE going there. I used to work really close to her shop so I would drop them off before work and then pick them up when I got off. I changed jobs about a year ago so now I take them every other Saturday. I would rather get up early on a Saturday and drop them off then have to change groomers. |
