| I'm in Albany, NY and pay $50 each then I always tip her about $20-25 b/c she is so great with the monkeys and the groomer is right in the daycare I take them too. She also will trim Hallie's eyes in between groomings and give her special brushings and attention so I don't mind. I trust her and I think that's what counts~ |

| I pay $30 for my pug and when we got Autumn my groomer decided to keep the price the same for her (she said I had gotten her a lot of customers and she did not want to raise me) |

| I just paid 30 (plus a tip) and that was to have Lacey hand scissored rather than have them use the clippers. |

| I pay $120 for Misha & Piper every 6 weeks. WOW! I wish they were cheaper down here. $35 sounds good to me.

| I groom them myself. I also groom my in-laws Mini Schnauzer, our friends toy poodle, and our Preacher's poodle mix. I charge them $20, and usually pick them up and take them back (they all live very close to me). I don't do it to make money, I enjoy doing it and am still in the learning stage-I am teaching myself! I won't accept a tip either. When we got our first poodle, I took her to Petsmart several times, they charged like $40, but I had to drive an hour each way and then wait around for 3-4 hrs. Plus, I always had to touch up spots that they missed, so I got fed up and bought the equipment to do it myself. I found a hobby that I never would have known I enjoyed. Missy |

| Taking my little one this Saturday to a NDGAA Certified groomer in Tampa. For $45, she gets: Your dog professionally bathed and catered to his/her needs with special shampoo i.e.:medicated, flea, tick, oatmeal,Etc. Release anal glands Complete dry and brush out. Toe nails trimmed, ears cleaned and pulled if your breed requires such. Pads and privates tidied up. Bow /bandana and cologne if wanted. Always free of charge. Face, feet and tail tidied up Skirt line trimmed Hair taken off the entire body. This would be any breed specified pattern all the way to a basic shave down. I had another quote and it was $35. I'm spending the extra $10 for the certification I guess |

| I live in Grand Prairie, Texas and paid $20 last week to have Chewie groomed. The lady did an excellent job and never charges over $25 or any type of dog. |

| I pay $36.00 for one and then I give her a tip. She's really good with my dogs and I'm happy with the way their cut and groomed. Her grooming salon is right next to my work and that to me is a big help. I straddle the months I take each of them so I don't end up paying a lot at one time.
