How much does dog grooming cost, and how long does it take?

These are the two questions we hear most, so here are the plain answers.

Pricing

Our grooming is all inclusive. The price you see is the price you pay, with no add-ons at checkout. This lets you plan your budget before you book.

The one exception is when a pet needs more time than a typical groom. This most often happens with a heavily matted coat, a coat that has not been brushed or groomed past 10weeks, or a dog that needs extra breaks. Dematting takes time and has to be done carefully to protect the skin, so the price can reflect that extra work. If this applies to your dog, we let you know and talk through the options with you.

Regular brushing at home and keeping to a consistent grooming schedule are the best ways to keep your dog's coat manageable and the appointment time predictable.

Appointment Length

Most appointments take 1.5 to 2 hours. Because we groom one on one and do not use cages, your dog gets individual attention for the whole visit, and the time reflects that.

Large and giant breeds take longer. Bathing, drying, and finishing a bigger dog simply involves more coat and more work, so plan for extra time with these dogs.

Other things that can change the length of a visit include coat type, coat condition, and how comfortable your dog is with handling. Taking breaks when a dog needs them keeps the experience calm and safe.

If you are unsure what to expect for your dog, send us a message with your dog's breed, size, and a photo of the coat, and we can give you a clearer idea of price and timing.
