How we got these numbers
- We only use prices that groomers post on their own websites. We don’t use quotes, reviews, or guesses from other sites.
- Each price is the lowest price, for the smallest dogs. Bigger dogs, thick coats, mats, and extras cost more.
- The middle price is the one in the middle of the list, so one very cheap or very pricey groomer can’t skew it.
- We last checked these prices on October 19, 2026.
