What moves the price
- Breed of the dog — breeds needing scissoring or breed-standard clips take far longer than short-coated dogs.
- Specific services requested — a full grooming package costs more than a bath and brush or nail trim.
- Groomer's experience — a mobile groomer skilled in breed styling usually charges more per groom.
- Coat condition — a thick, tangled coat needs more washing and drying time in the grooming van.
- Temperament — an anxious dog needs a slower, calmer groom, which adds time to the visit.
- Distance to your home — a mobile dog groomer may add a travel charge if you live outside their usual area.
