Grooming menus vary wildly, but the core service is fairly standard. Knowing what's baseline helps you spot genuine value and unnecessary add-ons.
What a full groom should include
Bath, blow-dry, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning and a sanitary trim. For most dogs this runs $50–$120 depending on size and coat; cats typically $60–$150.
Worth paying extra for
- De-shedding treatments for double-coated breeds before summer
- De-matting, billed by time — severe matting is real labor
- Special shampoos for diagnosed skin conditions
Usually skippable
"Pawdicures," blueberry facials and perfumes are fine but cosmetic. Teeth brushing at the groomer is no substitute for vet dental care.
Compare grooming services near you and look for reviews mentioning your pet's breed.
