I wish I could pay less than $40 around here! I, when first getting Jackson, called around to a ton of groomers. Every single one gave me between $50-$80. I found a groomer I really liked 5 minutes away from my house, she was in a small little shop that sold puppies and she groomed him in the back. She was pretty good, but I did not like the fact that they sold puppies (puppy mills!) and I really didn't want any of my hard earned money going towards that. Plus, Jackson would have to stay for around 4 hours. So I found an amazing mobile groomer, who charges JUST as much ($55) and he's got one-on-one time with her, right in my driveway and he's done within 45 mins-1 hour. Amazing. I give her a $10 tip and she does a much better job than the other lady. He seemed much more relaxed, too, throughout the whole thing. Highest I'd paid? Probably what I'm paying now ($55, plus $10 tip = $65).

She's out of town this week which puts me back in central FL next week and he desperately needs to be groomed. I don't have a groomer there, but I've looked at various sites, not any are less than $50. I realize the $20 is a steal, but how much is too much for the above things?

All his hair is so uneven from his surgery. His front and back legs are just a variety of lengths. You can't see his eyes.

Just looking for an average, I don't mind paying for services but I don't want be to taken either for a basic groom.

My rate is $50 for a Yorkie. $55 and up for other breeds that are more than about 7 or 8 lbs and that depends on the condition of the coat and how often it is kept up. Price goes up if it is more of a job.

I wish I can find that kind of package for $15 where I live. Ariel has had grooming that ranged from $35-$50.

I pay $35

I had him groomed in CF last week. It was $45.00. He got a puppy cut, they took his hair down to his shortest post surgical length. One thing that seems odd, when they tipped his ears, they shaved the upper portion of the back of this ears? Is that normal?

My son says he looks like a bat.

I think I'll stick with the $15 lady. She even offered a choice of a bow or a bandana for that price. I didn't get that for $45.
