So how much does your groomer charge? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sio99 · 02-16-2010, 12:10 AM

Yep - Manhattan here too. And honestly I have yet to find one that really did a great job for the cost. Vets here are insane too. My own doctor is cheaper then theirs! I decided one year to get titers on one because I am anti vaccine and that with the cost of the visit was over $650....just to tell me the vaccines we gave her 5 years ago was still valid! What a shock - now I just take my chances and dont vaccinate. It says a lot that a one year rabies still is active 5 years later and if I listened to the vet she would have had 4 more in system unnecessarily. Maybe if they were backyard dogs I would worry more but now I only take my kids out on leash and even wear those little balloon galoshes for their paws because city sidewalks skeeve me and I was having to bathe them after ever walk before I found them. They are like little yellow condoms for their paws and they dont mind them that much because they can still grip the floor with the rubber.

I've only taken Darwin once and we were at the groomers for over an hour as she did his nails, shaved his ears and spent a lot of time just getting him to settle down. I was shocked when she said $10 and that was Canadian dollars LOL. I found myself arguing with her and I ended up paying $20. Mind you maybe it was that cheap because it was our first time there with our Yorkie. I am trying to learn how to trim him now - not trying to be cheap but would like the convenience of not having to leave the house when he needs grooming. By the way Axel is a little cutie!

I just called around yesterday for Chloe's first grooming. All three charge $35.00. Glad I read the posts here...never even thought about the tip!

tarczely · 02-16-2010, 03:22 AM

I'm embarressed I didn't do a tip either, Ill make up for it next time! bad mommy!

Ooh wow...I always thought the grooming centres here in M'sia charge very expensive, I converted it to USD and I pay USD23 for full grooming, and USD12 for basic (mini) grooming. I often visit a grooming centre, they give me special rate...only USD8 for basic grooming

But anyway, there are around 6-7 grooming centres near my office, I'm no surprised if they reduced price to get more customers

hugz4all4 · 02-16-2010, 05:52 AM

15 for a bath/ trim
20/25 for a complete shave or whatever I want done..they usually go between every 4 and 8 weeks depending on the weather..
and she comes and gets them for me..
I love my groomer..

JoshieBoy · 02-16-2010, 09:09 AM

I cost about $42 for Josh to get his bath, haircut, and scissoring. Josh gets the lamb haircut.

simbasmom · 02-16-2010, 11:39 AM

I pay $35 for my two boys but they go every two weeks. They get a bath, nails, ears, and trim. Also I get a really good deal from my groomer because I've been using her for a long time. The normal charge for two Yorkies would be around $60. Also I've never tipped either but my groomer owns her place so I guess I just always thought it was like not tipping your hairdresser if they were the owner? Any opinions on if I should be tipping?

LaceyandMuffin · 02-18-2010, 01:40 AM

Oh man I am jealous for just a trim the cheapest I've paid is a little over 50$

Rachael1983 · 02-18-2010, 02:52 AM

30 for a full. My groomer is also a doggy daycare and boarding facility. It's near my job. I take Troy once a month usually on a Friday. I drop him off when I get to work and pick him up when I leave. Bc he's small and the groomer wants him he usually stays with him after he's done grooming.

loveyorks · 02-18-2010, 04:36 AM

$35.00 for a full groom (only because I bring her all 4, otherwise she charges $45.00) - $7.00 for nail clipping (don't know about a mini clip as I've never had it done). My girl has a very cottony matty kind of coat, so I go about every 2 months or so) When I had it done at the vet's the cost was $65.00 for a full groom and $20.00 for nail clipping
