What Affects the Price?

The biggest factors in grooming cost are:

Size of the dog. Bigger dogs take more time, more product, and more physical effort.
Coat type and condition. A well-maintained Poodle coat is straightforward. A matted Doodle that has not been brushed in 3 months takes significantly more time.
Services requested. A basic bath is less than a full groom with a breed-specific cut, and spa add-ons add cost on top of that.
Behavior. Some groomers charge more for dogs that are aggressive, extremely anxious, or difficult to handle. At Doggy Day Spa, we do not upcharge for behavior — we just take our time.

Price vs. Value The cheapest groomer is not always the best deal. A rushed $40 groom at a chain store may leave your dog stressed, unevenly cut, and needing to come back sooner. A thorough $94 groom that lasts 6-8 weeks and keeps your dog happy is a better investment.
