Cindy B. says, "Kelly is amazing. Our 3 dogs have been regulars of hers for about 4 years, with one seeing her every 6 weeks. Not only do our dogs come home clean and trimmed as requested, but they are enthusiastic to go back! She takes pride in the outcome of her work, and, just as importantly, cares about the dog’s experience. Our little 6 lb dog has a bit of anxiety with new experiences, and Kelly encouraged us to bring her 80 pound brother to come with her to grooming sessions. This instantly helped our little one! We still bring him to her grooming sessions and a good time is had by all. Kelly is great at what she does. She clearly has a lot of experience as she possesses timely technical skills and turnaround time, and as importantly, she has a huge heart for animals!" Read more

Stephanie G. says, "I will recommend Hott Tails to everyone I know. At the time I got my American cocker spaniel I was worried whoever I took him to would not listen to the way I wanted his haircut to be and would go a route I would not like. The moment I spoke with Codi she listened to every detail ( cocker skirt, don't trim his eyelashes, leave his beard and mustache,etc) and I was more then happy with how he turned out! She has been my groomer for 2 years now and the best part is shes gentle when grooming. Eddie (cocker) can ve anxious around people but he trusts her. Ive referred her to all of my friends and family and every time their animals look amazing. She is mobile which is convenient, and her expertise on grooming is fantastic. Hands down I will never find another person that will groom my eddie like she can!" Read more

Your Dog Grooming questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on HomeGuide.

What is dog grooming?

Whether you love to know your dog is clean or you’re gearing up for family photos with him or her, a dog grooming salon can take care of everything. From baths to brushing, to even painting your dog’s nails, you can expect to pay a starting price of about $40 for a full grooming service (for a small dog). Grooming salons will mostly offer a basic package deal which can include a bath, trimmed nails, and cleaned ears. Dog grooming salons give special care to elderly dogs who might need to take frequent potty breaks or rests between services.

How much does dog grooming cost?

The price of dog grooming starts around $40 for a full grooming service for a small dog, and around $75 for a large dog. If you have more than one, prices can be significantly lower for the second and third dog. For mobile grooming, where groomers come to you, a full service of ears, nails, anal glands, bath, blow dry, and scissor finish is about $75 for average size dogs.

Dog Grooming Prices Average Cost

  • Full Service (small dogs) $40
  • Full Service (large dogs) $75
  • Nail trim + buffing $15
  • Nail trim $10
  • Teeth brushing $10
  • Breath Refresh $10
  • Ear cleaning $10
  • Gland expression $10
  • Face, feet and fanny trim $15
  • Flea & tick treatment $15
  • Blueberry facial $5
  • Paw balm $5
  • Nail Polish $7

How much do you tip the dog groomer?

Typically, you should tip your dog groomer 15 to 20 percent of the service total to show your appreciation for a good job. Tips should be whatever you can afford and are a token of you gratefulness. It's quite common for your groomer to give you extra services at no charge, such as teeth brushing or nail trimming. Keep all this in mind when considering how much to tip. Additionally, there are certain circumstances when you should the tip the groomer a bit more.

Here's a few examples of when you should tip the groomer extra:

  • If your dog bites or scratches the groomer. Tipping big will help here.
  • If your dog was extremely dirty and gross—especially with dog poo or mud matted to their hinds.
  • If your dog had extreme matting or shedding—this creates extra work for your groomer.
  • If your elderly dog is disabled and can't stand for grooming and needs extra support.

What is included in dog grooming?

Full Service Dog Grooming includes: A bath with towel and hair drying, teeth brushing, nail trimming, eye and ear cleaning, a brush out, and a haircut based upon your dog’s breed standard or your individual style choice.

Basic Service Dog Grooming includes: A bath, trimmed nails, and cleaned ears.

Great experience. She took care of my Shelties and my baby Zena before she passed. Zena was a rescue and afraid of Everything! With Codi Zena began coming out of her shell and was able to partially accept the affection she was being given by people and other dogs/cats.
