How to get the best pricing for your Doodle
It begins at home
The best way to ensure consistent pricing and quality of the groom for your Doodle, is to make sure that the dogs coat is always kept tangle free. The coat must be able to be combed from the skin out over the entire dog when the dog arrives at the groomer. This is the pet parents responsibility. See my blog on maintaining your dogs coat for tips on caring for your Doodles Coat.
Plan for Monthly appointments
We strongly recommend that all Doodles be groomed on a Monthly schedule. Especially if you prefer a fluffy, longer style on your Doodle.
So many different variations
What type of Doodle do you have?
Each generation of Doodles, depending on their mixtures results in varying coats that require different amounts of work and time on the groomers part, as well as the skill level of the pet parent maintaining the coat. This makes set prices very challenging.
This is why your price may be adjusted after we work on your dog.
Often times, groomers quote a price, and honor that price, BUT, after working on the dog a time or two, will adjust the price according to the time the groom actually takes.
For styles over 2" long
The amount of hair kept on the dog greatly affects the amount of time needed to complete the groom.
Labradoodle Grooming Guide
The dog in the full body image on this chart has hair about 4" long, which must be hand scissored. For a large Doodle, this style would start at $200.
Matted Doodles
We prefer not to offer services for badly matted Doodles. Shaving off matted coats involve multiple risks, including nicks, cuts, clipper irritation, and hematomas on the ears. While these injuries are clearly the pet parent's responsibility, we do not want to cause discomfort to any dog.
