Dog Grooming Prices in 2026: What the Chains Actually Charge — by Size, by Coat, and by the Month
Dogs unless noted, before tax, tip and add-ons. "Full groom" = bath + dry + haircut. There is no flat price in this category — chains quote by size and coat, so we show honest bands instead of fake precision.

Full-service bath includes shampoo, blow-dry, ear cleaning, gland expression, 15-minute brush-out and nail trim; the full groom adds a breed-standard cut. Vital Care membership layers on recurring discounts.

Pet Supplies Plus
BATH & BRUSH$20–$51
FULL GROOM$35–$77
SELF-WASH$10
Coupon reality: the breed examples show grooming's honest spread — short-coat Chihuahua full groom ~$61, mini Poodle ~$72, Australian Shepherd ~$94, Alaskan Malamute ~$165 at the same chain. The $10 self-wash station (tub, shampoo, towels, dryer all included) is the cheapest clean dog in America.
Franchise; East/West Coast stores price above South/Midwest. Every store sets its own menu.
Scenthound
MEMBER / MONTH~$39
UNLIMITED TIER~$65
ADD-ON DISCOUNT25% off
Coupon reality: the subscription pioneer — every membership includes a monthly bath, ear cleaning, nail trim, teeth brushing and a 6-point wellness check, plus 25% off add-ons like blow-dry and haircuts. Month-to-month, cancel anytime; founding members lock their rate for life.
Corporate publishes no national menu — each location sets rates, so these figures are an observed band from published location pages, not a fixed price. Haircuts are an add-on, not included in the base plan.
Splash and Dash Groomerie
MEMBER / MONTHfrom $39.95
INCLUDESunlimited bath/dry/brush
HAIRCUTSquoted separately
Coupon reality: the signature play is unlimited baths, blow-dries and brush-outs from $39.95 a month — bring the dog in as often as you want. Muddy-dog households do the math fast: two shop baths a month already beats it. Starting rate scales with size and coat.
Franchise; the $39.95 entry point is consistent across published locations. Full grooming (haircut) is quoted per location.
petbar
MEMBER / MONTHfrom $39
ENTRY TIER4 self-washes + nail trim
UPPER TIERSby weight class
Coupon reality: boutique wash-bar franchise (Texas-born, expanding fast) — memberships from $39/mo covering up to four self-serve washes plus a monthly nail trim. Unlimited-bath and full-serve tiers are priced by your dog's weight class, quoted per location.
Weight-based pricing means no single national number for the upper tiers — confirm your dog's class locally. Single washes available without joining.
Wag N' Wash
FULL GROOMfrom $70+
SELF-WASH DEALbuy 10, get 11th free
INCLUDESfacial, dremel, ears
Coupon reality: professional grooms start at $70+ and bundle premium shampoo, a blueberry facial, blow-dry, breed-specific trim, nail trim/dremel and ear cleaning. The Frequent Bathers Club (10 self-serve baths, 11th free) is the loyalty deal on the wash side.
Franchise; self-wash prices set per store. The groom quote moves with behavior and coat condition, not just size.
Dogtopia (spa services)
BATH$25–$45+
NAIL TRIM$10–$30
TEETH BRUSHING$5–$15
Coupon reality: grooming here rides on top of daycare — baths from $25 (up to $45+ in coastal markets), brush-outs billed per 15 minutes ($12–$20), spa packages from ~$55 where offered. The value is a clean dog at daycare pickup, not a standalone appointment.
Full haircut grooming only at select locations. Figures are an observed band from published location pages; every location prices independently.
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming
FULL GROOMquote by breed/coat
DIAMOND DOG ADD-ON$20
HAIR COLORING$35–$45
Coupon reality: 200+ boutique locations but no national price list — every store quotes by breed, weight and coat condition. Published add-ons anchor the tier: the $20 Diamond Dog spa package (premium shampoo, blueberry facial, teeth brushing). A chain-wide grooming price increase was announced effective August 3, 2026 — regulars, book before then.
Boutique positioning prices above big-box for comparable breeds. We show no invented band here — call your location for an estimate.
Aussie Pet Mobile
OBSERVED START~$70+
PROCESS15-step, every visit
ADD-ONSde-shed, flea, teeth
Coupon reality: the biggest mobile-grooming franchise publishes no national menu — every appointment is the same 15-step process (Hydrobath, in-bath massage, hand blow-dry, nail clip, ear and eye clean) quoted per pet, observed starting around $70+ before add-ons. Give them breed and weight on the call and the quote is instant.
Each franchise sets its own rates. Expect well above shop prices for large or heavy-coated dogs — the van premium is real. Cats serviced too.
Furry Land Mobile Grooming
SMALL DOGSfrom $110
SMALL DOODLE/DBL COATfrom $130
XL DOGS$160–$185
Coupon reality: the transparency outlier in mobile — location pages actually publish starting prices: small dogs from $110 ($130 for doodles and double coats), extra-large from $160–$185 depending on metro. That's roughly double shop prices, which is the honest cost of the groomer coming to your driveway.
100+ territories. Rates are labeled estimates and rise with temperament, coat condition and add-ons. Bath-only service is call-for-quote.
The five things worth knowing before you book a groom
- There is no flat price — size and coat set everything. The same "full groom" runs ~$61 for a short-coat Chihuahua and ~$165 for an Alaskan Malamute at the same chain. Doodles and double-coated breeds are the industry's surcharge tier, typically $20–$30 above same-size short-coats.
- The big-box floor is $38–$66. Petco publishes the clearest ladder (baths $22–$39, grooms $38–$66 by size); PetSmart runs comparable. Neither confirms your exact price until booking — treat the tiers as a floor, not a promise.
- The subscription wave has reached dog grooming. Scenthound (~$39/mo hygiene plans), Splash and Dash ($39.95/mo unlimited baths) and petbar (from $39/mo) sell cleanliness as a membership, exactly like massage chains — and the same fine print applies: check what's actually included (haircuts usually aren't) and the cancellation terms.
- Mobile costs about double, and that's honest. Furry Land publishes small-dog grooms from $110 vs $38–$77 in a shop. You're paying for the van in the driveway and a one-on-one groom — worth it for anxious dogs, expensive for easy ones.
- The cheapest clean dog in America costs $10. Pet Supplies Plus self-wash stations include the tub, shampoo, towels and dryer. Wag N' Wash's buy-10-get-1-free punch card is the loyalty version of the same idea.
