Bring a reference photo if you want a specific style. Let the groomer know about any sensitive areas or skin conditions. Regular grooming prevents painful matting.
How Full Groom Pricing Really Works
Full Groom sits at the expensive pole of this library (#2 of 8 by medium-dog midpoint, about $70). The small→giant midpoint gap is about $68, so the giant band - not the headline mid - is what drives a multi-service bill.
De-shedding Treatment lands closest on price (medium-dog midpoints roughly $18 apart); a booking runs about 23 minutes longer than De-shedding Treatment's typical visit. A quote for full groom in that neighborhood tracks the national data; further out, ask what is included.
- At this price pole, annualize the medium band by visits/year (see the recommended frequency above) before treating a single quote as the yearly cost.
- On a first visit, ask what the expensive-pole quote includes (nails, ears, glands, finish) - two salons at the same headline can differ $15–30 in add-ons.
