What moves the price
- Dog's size — a large dog takes longer to bath, dry and clip than a small one.
- Coat condition — a matted coat needs slow de-matting before any styling can begin.
- Complexity of the required services — de-matting or a full grooming needs a steadier hand and more time than a bath.
- Location of the groomer — a mobile dog groomer coming to you charges for travel as well as the grooming.

How to pay less
- Choosing a bath and brush between full grooms keeps the coat tidy at a lower price.
- Brushing your dog at home a few times a week stops mats forming and keeps de-matting charges away.
- Asking for a shorter clip can stretch the time between dog grooming appointments.
- Taking your dog to a grooming salon instead of booking a mobile groomer at home can cost less.
- Booking grooms regularly keeps the coat in good condition, so each dog grooming visit takes less time.
Before you book
- Information about your dog's breed, age, and any specific grooming needs.
- A comfortable space for the groomer to work, preferably in a well-lit area.
- Access to your dog's grooming tools if you prefer to use your own.
- Details of any allergies or skin conditions your dog may have.
- You can ask about the dog groomer's training and experience with your breed, and how they keep dogs safe on the grooming table.
