Pricing & services

Prices depend on the size, condition and behaviour of each dog.

Dogs who go more than 8 weeks between clips may be subject to an extra fee of $5 to $10. Extra de-matting is $5 per 10 minutes. Exceptionally matted dogs will be shaved for humane reasons and an extra $25 fee will apply. Sorry, it will not be possible to groom aggressive dogs.

Please contact me for a quote and I will be happy to discuss the services with you. If necessary, a consultation appointment can be made in order to provide a more accurate estimate.

Services must be paid in full at each appointment. Cash or cheques are accepted.

What is house-call grooming?

A full service, professional groom is provided in the comfort of your own home. All that is required is a place to bath the dog (sink, laundry tub, shower or bath tub), an electrical outlet and reasonable light. Suggested locations are a bathroom, laundry room, garage, or basement.

A full grooming includes:

Bath with quality shampoos and conditioners
Hand blow-dried and brushed
Nails trimmed and filed
Ears plucked (if necessary) and wiped clean
Sanitary trim
Full haircut according to breed standard or owner’s desires
Cleanup of the grooming area following the groom

Individual services can also be provided:

Nail trims and filing
Pads and feet trimmed
Sanitary trims

Due to the nature of the service, dogs must be under 50 lbs. Sorry, it will not be possible to groom aggressive dogs.

Learn to groom your dog

Have you ever tried to groom your dog and discovered it was a little trickier than you expected? I can teach you which tools to use to make the job easier and how use them to safely groom your dog yourself. The program will be specifically tailored to you and your dog. Lessons are $50 per hour with a minimum fee of three hours. The length of time required will vary by each individual and the cooperation of their pet. Contact us for more information.
