Groom times, frequencies, and prices are typical 2026 U.S. ranges by size and coat — a starting reference, not a fixed rate card. Your real pricing depends on your skill, time per dog, matting, behavior, and local market. In your own suite, you set every price and keep every dollar.
This guide shows the typical range. These two free tools turn it into your number — what to charge, and what you take home keeping 100%.
Pick a breed, size, coat, and add-ons to get a suggested price range adjusted for your market — lower-cost area to premium metro.

Run your numbers →It depends on coat type. Curly and long-coated breeds (poodles, doodles, Shih Tzus, Maltese) need a full groom every 4–6 weeks to prevent matting. Double-coated and heavy-shedding breeds (huskies, retrievers, German shepherds) do well every 6–8 weeks with a de-shed. Short, smooth coats (boxers, Frenchies, beagles) can stretch to every 8–12 weeks.
A small short-coated dog takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Most medium dogs run 1.5–3 hours, and large curly or heavy-coated breeds like standard poodles, doodles, and Great Pyrenees can take 3–5 hours. Matting, behavior, and the services requested all add time.
Typical 2026 full-groom prices range from about $40 for a small smooth-coated dog to $150 for a giant heavy-coated breed. Price scales with size, coat type, and the time the groom takes. Use our Grooming Rate Builder to price any breed for your own market.
Curly and continuously growing coats (poodles, doodles, Bichons) and dense double coats (Samoyeds, Great Pyrenees, Old English Sheepdogs) take the most time and skill — and command the highest prices. They mat quickly, so they also need the most frequent appointments.
Every groom in this guide is yours to price — and yours to keep. A Snout Studios suite gives you a private, fully-equipped space for one flat weekly membership, with no commission split and no boss setting your rates.
