What do you all pay for your Poo grooming please? I took Pushca to a new groomers today and it was £55! I think that is ludicrous.... I normally pay £20 to £40 and I once paid £45 at a really glitzy salon who videoed her to boot.
Just wondered if anyone else is paying this much
Thanks She looks gorgeous I have posted a pic but she always looks gorge LOL

£55
You want to get yourself on a grooming course pet!! Save those pennies

Where's the pic? I paid £25 for Izzy's groom last week

Groomers in my area seem to charge around £40.00 - £45.00 hence why I do it myself!!.. I think there may be free places on the Guildford courses if you are interested..

We pay £35-40 - £55 does sound a lot but you are in London (as I'm sure you know ) - we are in the South east so everything tends to be pricy around here.

I think we've been charged more if more work needs doing and it takes longer.

I think £55 is a little steep .. but she does look fab ...

In all honesty I think £40 would be a fair price for a full groom ...

I pay around £30 for Betty. She is being groomed by someone different this time (she is also a dog walker and has Betty from time to time) and she is charging £33 and she will pick Betty up from me for that too.

£55 does sound quite steep!! But she does look beautiful!!!!

I've been ringing around a lot to get a reasonable price. Most around here charge £45-50 but I used to pay £28 and last time £30. There are a few reasonable groomers around but you sometimes have to put in a lot of work to find them.

Karen has got a thread running about pre booked dates....you might want to PM her to ask what might still be available ( Cockapoo grooming section)..

 

[frankalison]

We pay £28 for Bobby....

How long was she in for and did she need alot of dematting. groomers will charge more if the scissor the dog rather than use the clippers. but £55 is more than the standered poodles at my work and the take a long time to do. did you know the price before or after her groom.

 

[Laney]

Did Rocky today from quite long and shaggy and with dematting, brushing, clipping and scissoring, claws, anal glands, bathing, drying....took me over 4 hours. I understand why they charge a lot lol xxx

Seems a lot, I'm thinking maybe I should have a change of career, I childmind and I'm sure having dogs around would be a lot less stress! - would be interesting to know how long a groomer actually has the dog for that price. Not got mine yet but do sons hair so hoping I can do it myself - ok my son has short hair with no matts but it'll be worth a try!

 

[Mogdog]

I pay £36 (recently increased from £34). £55 does seem an awful lot, although she does look great. I try to groom them myself and take them to the groomers if it gets too difficult, eg. if I want their tummy clipped short.

I'm going to the grooming course in Guildford. It would get far too expensive otherwise, especially with two dogs! x

 

[Ali79]

Crikey I don't even pay that much for me though you could probably tell The groomer we used for our Cavvie would charge £25 but as I have managed to keep on top of Beau's matts etc and quite like doing it too I don't need to use her at the moment x

 

[mandym]

I pay £40 each for my girls but every second groom i do myself.They do charge extra if you want nails clipped,ears plucked etc xxx

 

[M&M's mummy]

I pay £30 each for both of mine and they go every 8 weeks.

 

[strof51]

We pay £25 for ours.

A wriggling pup can't be much different to trying to cut a wriggling childs hair!!!

The groomer Betty goes to was recommended bt my mum's hairdresser as her shihtzhu gets groomed there. My mums reasoning on why the groomer must be ok "well if a hairdresser is pleased with them they must do a reasonable cut or she wouldn't be happy". xx
