On average, a dog grooming session will cost between $30-$90, depending on a few different factors like the size of the dog and the type of breed and fur it has.

Dogs with long, thick fur may need to be groomed every 4-6 weeks, while dogs with short or fine hair may only need to go every 8-12 weeks. It's important to keep up with your dog's grooming program as if left too long, their hair may become matted and cause irritation or infection and need to be shaven.

A pet salon and their stylists make a big investment in products and tools to bring the best groom to their customers. Adding to the expenses is the regular maintenance required to keep these tools in optimal condition.

And since most dogs should get a bath at least every 4-6 weeks to keep their skin and coat healthy, it might be easier to get professional help, even if you'd rather do it yourself. At PetSmart, pups enjoy a relaxing oxygen-infused bath with premium shampoo and conditioner.
