The Elegant Pooch Service List

Pricing

• The Elegant Pooch Pricing

  • Our base price begins at $50 and goes up depending on the size, condition of the coat, lenght of time between grooming and the style of cut that you want.

    Small breeds average between $50 - $70 for monthly grooming. For example, a bichon groomed every four weeks that is also brushed out at home on a daily basis would require less attention to coat condition than a bichon which is groomed every four weeks but, because of busy schedules, can't be brushed every day. Another example would be a poodle groomed in a typical lamb cut (legs left a little longer than the body and hand scissored) would take less time than a more fancy, stylized trim that would take more time and cost a little more.

  • We recommend a monthly grooming schedule in order to keep the coat in good condition and also to keep the ears clean, nails trimmed and glands expressed.

    For those clients who need care in between their monthly grooms we also offer a maintenance program which includes a bath, brush, nails clipped, glands expressed and ears cleaned for $25 - $35. This program is reserved for monthly clients only.

  • Larger breeds very on types of coat and grooming required.
