Four coats, four different jobs. Work out which one your dog has, then book it at your curb. Our price is set by size alone, $120–$205, so the coat never changes the number.
One question sorts almost every dog: does the hair keep growing, or does it shed? Growing coats get cut. Shedding coats get pulled out. Everything else follows from that.
Pit mixes, Boxers, Beagles, Bulldogs, Pugs, Dobermans
No haircut exists on this coat. What it needs is a degreasing wash, a rubber-curry brush-out to lift the dead hair, nails and ears. Skin is the thing to watch, especially on Bulldogs and Pugs where the folds need drying properly.
Cadence: Every 6 to 8 weeks, more in summer
Huskies, Shepherds, Labs, Goldens, Samoyeds, Akitas, Corgis
Never shave it. The undercoat insulates in both directions and does not always grow back the same. The real job is de-shedding: wash, then force-dry the dead undercoat out, then rake it. Done properly this is the single most dramatic grooming result there is.
Cadence: Every 6 to 8 weeks, weekly brushing between
Shih Tzus, Yorkies, Maltese, Collies, Shelties, Pomeranians
This coat keeps growing, so it has to be cut and it mats if it is not brushed. A full groom is a body haircut plus the face, feet and sanitary trim, after a wash and a full dry. Mats near the skin cannot be washed out and get tighter when wet.
Cadence: Every 4 to 6 weeks
Poodles, Labradoodles, Cavapoos, Bernedoodles, Sheepadoodles
The highest-maintenance coat in the market, and the one most often brought in too late. Curls trap the shed hair instead of dropping it, so it felts against the skin. Brushing the top of the coat while the base mats is the usual mistake. Line-brushing to the skin is the fix.
Cadence: Every 4 to 6 weeks, no exceptions
Breed by breed, with cadence worked out for each, is in the breed guides, and the schedule builder asks about your dog instead of averaging.
A doodle takes longer than a Beagle. Nobody disputes that, and most groomers price for it: the biggest mobile groomer in this market publishes a card with 4 coat types across 6 weight bands and 3 packages, which is 72 prices. Theirs is public, which is more than most do, and you can read it yourself.
We priced the other way on purpose. One number per size, and we absorb the coat difference. You do not have to decide whether your Cavapoo counts as a doodle or a long coat before you can find out what a groom costs.
What that buys you is a number you can check in five seconds and a visit with nothing added at the door. No coat-type surcharge, no fuel or weekend premium, no card fee. The whole ladder, both services, is on the pricing page, and the comparison against the published cards in this market is in Bay Area grooming prices, surveyed.
Finished grooms
Every one of these is a dog we groomed in a van at their own front door — no salon, no cage, no all-day stay.
Full groom with the haircut. Coats that shed rather than grow do not need one, and that visit is $75–$155 on the same ladder. De-shedding for a double coat is covered on the de-shedding page.
