I paid $40 today for Gabby's first grooming. This was for a mini cut, teeth brushed, nails clipped.

I pay 78 for two dogs for full groom (so I guess almost 40 each), I haven;t taken them for a mini groom before. I also tip 20%. we go about every 6 weeks, I could go longer but Harley's hair grows faster and gets tangled more and I need to keep him short.

Ugh - I pay $75 to $85 per dog which comes up to $200 per visit with two. Its so expensive I have learned to do it as best as I can on my own or when I bring them to my breeder for dogsitting (which is rare) I ask her to groom them and give her the cash. She never charges me for dogsitting so I give her a few hundred as a thank you.

$75-$80 per dog?!?

Where do you live?

I live in Podunk, AL and the groomers here charge $40 for my mini schnauzer (haven't taken my yorkie puppy yet). That seems high to me for where we live, but it's the going rate. I wouldn't mind so much if I could find a groomer I liked, but I've tried all the ones in town and only felt lukewarm about them at best. My 17 week old puppy needs I guess a mini (shave ears, pluck hair inside, clean up around the 'business' parts), but I don't want to leave her and the groomer I use now only works weekdays and I work out of town so my schnauzer stays all day. No way I'm leaving the baby (yorkie) there all day. Thinking about trying Petsmart. Hoping I could just stay and wait for her for the little we need done. Opinions anyone on Petsmart groomers??

I have noticed that people on here take their pups pretty frequently to the groomer. Ella's last groom was back in October. I like for her to have a puppy cut during the warm month and longer hair during the winter. I couldn't imagine taking her once a month or even every 3 months. Ella's hair does grow slow though. =]

I am thinking the same thing. Where one earth does a person live where it's that much for a full groom. I've never heard of paying more than 50 dollars, and that's w/ a tip!

I live in Manhattan and it can be has much as 100 per dog here... I only groom mine when I travel upstate so that it is cheaper.

Zeus08 · 02-15-2010, 08:46 PM

I have paid as low as $30 and as high as $40 for a full groom. Not including tip. I did run into a lady with a yorkie sporting the cutest puppy cut and she pays $25. I might check out her place next.

When i was typing that the one state that came to mind was NY. The price tag seemed appropriate for there. Geez, Ella wouldn't get a groom if i had to pay even close to that. Is it that much at all the grooming places there? =]

the absolute cheapest place I could find was 75...

Im lucky that I travel upstate so much, getting them groomed there isnt an issue for me... I dont think I could afford to groom them both here.

Ehhh, i am glad i live in little old WV where grooming isn't that much. 75 just seems crazy. I'd think there would be something cheaper. Stinks for people who actually have to pay that much and do not access to anywhere w/ a lower price.

Britster · 02-15-2010, 09:19 PM

$50 for full groom, plus tip. I like the way she cuts his hair though and he's becoming comfortable with her so it's worth it.

He usually goes every 8-12 weeks, but in the winter we space it out more. For example, he was cut in mid-June for the summer (cut really short) and didn't go back to professional groomer until late October. I kept up in between. And he just got groomed for the first time since October just a few weeks ago in mid-January. He probably won't go back until April.
