how much do you pay?
« on: October 26, 2007, 05:43:50 PM »
i've booked sam in the groomers for a wash, dry, nail clip, trimming between pads and inside his ears. my friend noramlly does this for me as she's a groomer but has been so busy at work (not a grommers) i have decided to book him in.

the place i have booked has come recommend by a cocker owner who has her boy handstipped there.

well i phoned today and the lady was really nice and went through everything that will happen while he is there,ask what sort of coat he had etc then she said he'd be there an hour and a half!!! and it only costs £10!!!

i was wondering of you that take you dogs to the groomers how much it costs. i was really suprised it will only be £10!!! handstipping cost £22! :D?

I'd say thats about right for a wash and manicure! Handstripping for £22 though... now thats a bargain!! I dont do it but groomers up here charge about £40 to £50 for that and about £25 to £30 for a normal clip. I only charge £20 cos I dont think i'm very good yet!

£22 to wash, clip, and nails done --- they charge an extra £3 to collect and deliver back home (its about 10 miles away)

£35.00 for a mobile groomer (so the pre bath is a task for me) she only uses scissors though, no clippers.
Elsewhere local seemed to average £25

We use 2 different groomers - depending on who we can get an apoointment with.  Both wash, dry, handstrip, clean ears and trim nails and charge £23 - £25.  The cheapest one even cleans anal glands, sprays with a nice doggy perfume and puts a sating bow round the neck!!!! :005:

Sam is going in next week to hand stripped and it costs £35.

Think you've got yourself a bargain!

Jakey gets picked up and dropped back, bathed, clipped, nails cut, ears cleaned & anal glands all for £25.  He smells lovely too when he comes home.  Cheap considering she knows he has behavioural problems and needs more time.
