By size and coat type, not a flat rate

What it costs

Every price we quote on the phone is a range until we have felt the coat. A free coat check turns it into a firm number, written down before anything starts.

Before you book

15 min A free fifteen-minute look at your dog's coat so the price and the plan are agreed before any groom starts.

free, and there is no obligation to book a groom afterwards

Grooming

Wash and dry $55 to $115
45-90 min A warm bath, a proper rinse and a hand dry with a brush-out, for dogs that hold their shape and just need to be clean.

set by size and coat density: a jack russell is at the bottom of the range, a rough-coated retriever at the top

30-50 min Face, feet and rear tidied by hand so the coat length stays but your dog can see out of it.

priced by size and how much face and feather work there is, and reduced if it is booked as an add-on to a wash

Full groom $95 to $230
2-3.5 hours Wash, dry, clip and hand-scissor finish, priced by size and coat type and shaped to suit the dog in front of us.

driven by size and coat type: a shih tzu sits near the bottom, a standard poodle or a large doodle in a scissor finish near the top, and a coat that has been left too long adds de-matting time on top

Coat care

De-shedding treatment $35 to $120
90-150 min A wash, force dry and full rake-out that pulls the dead undercoat before it ends up through your house.

an add-on to a wash from thirty-five dollars, or a standalone treatment priced by size and how much coat has been left to build up

10-25 min A ten-minute walk-in for nails, pad hair and ear cleaning, no bath and no appointment on quiet mornings.

twenty dollars for nails alone, up to forty-five for nails, pads, ears and a sanitary tidy on a large dog

Matted coat recovery $40 to $160
2-4 hours For coats that have gone past brushing: a careful, comfort-first clip down and a plan to grow it back properly.

added on top of the groom price by the time the matting takes, quoted before we start and never increased mid-groom without a phone call

Puppies

Puppy introductions $45 to $70
15-30 min per visit Three short, cheerful visits that teach a puppy the table, the water and the dryer before any of it matters.

per visit, or one hundred and forty-five dollars for the three-visit Puppy Start Pack

Medium Spoodle, cavoodle
Large Standard poodle, large doodle
