Remember the longer you want your dogs coat to be the more frequent the grooming appointments need to be …..
How much for a groom ?
I do not like to quote prices by breed, particularly if I haven’t seen the dog, as there is a huge range within any breed; however a general idea of pricing for a full groom can be seen here. Pricing is all based on the time spent working on your dog. Time spent can vary from dog to dog and an individual dog can require differing amounts of work at individual appointments.
Adult Dog Grooming Price Guide (a full groom would be woofly…..)
What affects the price of a groom?
• Size of dog and coat type, rather than actual breed as there can be a lot of variation within breeds
• Behaviour of dog
• Time since last professional groom
• Maintenance done at home… or not !!
• Neutered pets tend to grow thicker denser coats requiring more work
• Style to be achieved
• Techniques required to achieve desired style
” Don’t shave my dog !!”
I do not like clipping dogs very short either but I will not be unfair to your dog. Our salon runs a strict shave policy. If a coat is badly matted and cannot be sorted out without causing your dog pain and discomfort then clipping short may be the only humane option I am able to offer you. This would be a last resort and I can offer advice on how to avoid this in the future by setting up a maintenance plan for you and your dog. Feel free to pick up one of our home grooming guides, with tips and tricks to prevent matted coats.
