I’m constantly being asked how much for a groom. While I believe this is a legitimate question unfortunately it’s not as easy to answer and it shouldn’t be the key to finding the best fitting groomer for your dog.
My grooms are based on individual dogs and their lifestyle, it’s not a 1 price fits all grooms/dogs from the same breed. So I require extra information than a ‘how much to groom my dog’ question.
What breed?
Coat type?
What style?
How old?
Behaviour?
How much brushing do you do?
What kind of walks do you go on?
Do they like brooks/water?
Do they have skin issues/allergies?
It’s also not about price, it’s about the time and effort we put into building a solid relationship of trust, it’s about the amount of training and regular refresher training we carry out, it’s about the equipment we use, the maintenance we pay for on said equipment, it’s about the extras we offer alongside the full groom (inbetween care) it’s about the advice we give for free, it’s about the out of hours care we give, it’s about the knowledge we hold, it’s about the behaviour training we’ve carried out, it’s about the care we give before, during and after the groom, it’s about the security we offer, it’s about the ear and shoulder we offer at the door, it’s about the health changes we notice since the last groom and the lives we’ve saved by a simple vet app suggestion, it’s about the out of hours worry we hold and the check in texts we send, it’s about getting to know your dog and knowing how much they can tolerate, it’s about a full service including behind the scenes.
So when you are looking for a new groomer please think about why and what you want for you and your dog, not about getting the cheapest groom.
