What Affects the Cost?

The main cost factors include your dog's size—large breeds naturally require more time and product. Coat type matters significantly: double-coated or curly-haired dogs need more intensive grooming than short-haired breeds. Breed standards and hand-stripping for show dogs command premium prices. Your dog's temperament, matting severity, and whether add-ons like flea treatments or specialist conditioning are required also affect the final cost. Distance from city centre and groomer experience level influence pricing too.

Money-Saving Tips

Book package deals for regular grooming appointments—many Perth groomers offer discounts for four or six-week maintenance plans. Brush your dog regularly between appointments to reduce matting and grooming time. Ask about off-peak day discounts for weekday visits, which are often cheaper than weekend slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my dog be professionally groomed?

Most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 6–8 weeks, though this varies by breed. Short-haired dogs may need less frequent grooming, while double-coated and curly-haired breeds often need grooming every 4–6 weeks to prevent matting and maintain coat health.

Why is hand-stripping more expensive than clipping?

Hand-stripping is a specialist technique that removes dead hair by plucking rather than cutting. It requires significant skill, takes 2–3 times longer than clipping, maintains coat texture and colour better, and is essential for show dogs and certain terrier and wire-coated breeds.

Will it cost more if my dog is matted or heavily shedding?

Yes, matted coats require extra time and care to de-mat safely. Severe matting may require professional de-matting sessions beforehand. Heavy shedding may warrant add-on de-shedding treatments (typically £25–£45), which remove loose undercoat and reduce future shedding.

Are there any additional charges I should expect?

Some groomers charge extra for anxious or aggressive dogs, nail grinding instead of trimming, flea or medicated baths, and anal gland expression. Always confirm the full price and any extras when booking to avoid surprises.
