My groomer charges $26 to groom my poodles but I bathe them, just because I don't want anyone else doing it. My vet's office charges a lot more.

Groomers charge by size of dogs and by how long it takes to groom. Calvin's haircut might have been more because it was his first. Our groomer had a few mats to deal with the first time I took our Wheatie for a trim. Calvin is a little bigger than Lucy; I wonder if he's in the next size category. Our standard poodles cost $65 each. Now that we're getting dog #3 (and possibly #4), I want to learn to do it myself! The only things I'm a little nervous about are the face and toes. Everything else...hey, it's just hair. :-)

It costs us $35.00 to have our little poodle cut. Last year I took our cat in to have him shaved and she charged us $25.00.

I have a shih tzu and a mix and it costs $35-$40 each to have them groomed, plus tip, which brings a day in the spa close to $100, but it sounds like maybe I shouldn't be complaining . . .

I have used two different groomers in the last year or so. The first two times with the same groomer were for Amos, the larger of our two minilabradoodles, about 30 lbs. The first was a puppy cut for him and the second a shorter cut. Both times he charged $35.00

The second groomer was just this past May for our smaller female, Andi. She weighs 28 but is much shorter than Amos. She got a puppy cut and it was $35.00

I was told by both places that if there were mats to be dealt with, it would be $10 more but neither had mats.
