Dog Grooming Prices and Packages
Every dog is different, so haircuts and full grooms don’t have fixed rates. We price them on breed, size, coat type, condition and the services you choose, and quote after we meet your dog. Baths, bath packs and nail caps have set prices.

A Personalized Grooming Experience for Your Dog
Grooming is a matter of personal taste, so we start with a few minutes together to go over your preferences and your dog’s grooming history. From there, we fit the products and services to their size, breed, coat and condition.
Some dogs find grooming stressful. We never sedate dogs. If your dog gets anxious, talk with your veterinarian and our dog training team first so we can plan how to support them. Our groomers use positive, reward-based training to build good associations, and enrichment activities help dogs settle in.

How to Prepare for Your Dog’s Grooming Appointment
- Book ahead for grooming. Full grooming is Monday to Friday by appointment. Call 561-366-9000 or send a request through our reservation form. Baths and nail trims can be walk-ins Monday to Saturday.
- Bring vaccination records. We need proof of current Rabies, Distemper, Parvo and Bordetella vaccinations, and flea and tick prevention is required.
- Plan a few minutes with your groomer. Share your style preferences, your dog’s grooming history and any nervousness.
- Plan your pickup. You don’t need to stay during the appointment. Bath guests should be picked up within 2 hours to avoid a daycare charge.
More details are on our frequently asked questions page.
The Benefits of Regular Professional Grooming
- Healthier coat and skin: regular brushing and bathing keep the coat clean and help prevent mats, which can pull on the skin and cause discomfort.
- Less shedding and odor: a clean dog means less hair and smell on your couch, and less dander for allergy-prone family members.
- Comfortable feet: long nails can change how a dog stands and walks. Regular trims keep paws comfortable.
- An early look: groomers may notice skin problems early, so you can follow up with your veterinarian.
Dog Grooming FAQs
How much does grooming cost?
Baths start at a $45 minimum, and a 6-Bath Pack is $230. Full grooming has no fixed rate because every dog is different, so we assess your dog’s size, breed, coat and needs and quote accordingly.
What is included in full grooming?
Full grooming combines our bath (massaging bath, lavender and mint shampoo and conditioner, nail trim, ear cleaning and blow-dry) with a haircut or trim styled to your preferences. Spa treatments can be added.
Are walk-in services available?
Yes, for baths and nail trims, Monday to Saturday, with proof of current vaccinations. Full grooming is by appointment only, Monday to Friday.
How long does an appointment take?
Bath guests should be picked up within 2 hours, after which a daycare rate applies. Full grooming time depends on coat and services, so ask for an estimate when you book. You don’t need to stay with your dog during the appointment.
How are nervous dogs accommodated?
We never sedate dogs. For anxious dogs, we recommend talking with your veterinarian and our trainers first so we can plan the right support. Our groomers use positive, reward-based training to build good associations.
How frequently should my dog be groomed?
It depends on your dog’s coat, breed and lifestyle. Your groomer can suggest a schedule after reviewing your dog’s coat and history, and the 6-Bath Pack makes regular baths easy to keep up with.
