Pet Grooming Near Me - Book a Dog or Cat Groomer Online

Professional pet grooming goes far beyond a simple bath — it's a complete hygiene and wellness service for your dog or cat. Here's what you'll find at top-rated pet groomers on Booksy and what each service includes. Full groom for dogs The most comprehensive dog grooming service — typically includes a bath with professional shampoo and conditioner, blow dry, brush out, haircut or breed-specific trim, nail clip, ear cleaning, and a finish. Most full grooms also include a spritz of pet-safe cologne or deodorant spray. The result is a completely clean, freshly trimmed dog from nose to tail. Full groom pricing is usually based on the dog's size and coat type — a small short-haired dog takes significantly less time than a large double-coated breed or a doodle with a long, dense coat. Bath and brush (no haircut) A bath and brush service includes a professional wash, blow dry, thorough brushing and de-shedding, nail clip, and ear cleaning — without a haircut or trim. It's the right choice for dogs with short coats that don't need clipping, or for owners who want a thorough clean between full groom appointments. Regular bath and brush sessions dramatically reduce shedding at home and keep the coat healthy between trims. Dog nail trim Standalone nail trimming is available at most groomers on Booksy — a quick, affordable service that takes 10 to 20 minutes. Long nails can cause discomfort, affect a dog's gait, and lead to joint problems over time. Most dogs need their nails trimmed every 3 to 4 weeks. Many groomers also offer nail grinding (filing the nail smooth with a rotary tool) as an alternative or add-on to clipping — particularly useful for dogs who find clipping stressful. Deshedding treatment A specialized grooming service for heavy-shedding breeds — Huskies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Labs. A professional deshedding treatment uses high-velocity drying, specialist brushes, and deshedding shampoo to remove the dense undercoat that causes the majority of at-home shedding. A single professional deshedding session can reduce shedding by up to 80% for several weeks. Far more effective than brushing at home and one of the most requested add-on services at Booksy pet groomers. Cat grooming Many groomers on Booksy offer cat grooming — bath, dry, brush out, mat removal, nail trim, and ear cleaning. Cat grooming is a specialist skill — cats require a calmer handling approach and specific techniques, particularly for long-haired breeds like Maine Coons, Persians, and Ragdolls that are prone to matting. Look for groomers on Booksy who specifically list cat grooming in their service menu and read reviews from cat owners before booking. Mobile pet grooming Many pet groomers on Booksy offer mobile grooming — a fully equipped van comes to your home or location, minimizing travel stress for your pet. Mobile grooming is particularly popular for anxious dogs, elderly pets, or owners with multiple animals. The convenience comes at a slightly higher price than salon grooming but delivers a one-on-one experience with no waiting time or cage drying. Pet grooming prices — how much does dog grooming cost?

Frequently asked questions about pet grooming What does pet grooming include? A full pet groom typically includes a bath with professional shampoo and conditioner, blow dry, brush out, haircut or breed trim, nail clip, ear cleaning, and a finishing spray. Some groomers also include teeth brushing or anal gland expression as standard or as add-ons. Always check the specific service listing on Booksy to confirm exactly what's included before booking. Does dog grooming include nail clipping? Yes — nail clipping is included in most full groom packages and bath and brush services. If you only need a nail trim without a full groom, most groomers on Booksy offer standalone nail trim appointments that take 10 to 20 minutes. Some groomers also offer nail grinding as an alternative to clipping for dogs who are sensitive to the clipping sensation. How much does dog grooming cost? A full groom for a small dog typically costs $55 to $80. Medium dogs run $75 to $100, and large or heavily coated breeds can cost $95 to $150 or more. Prices vary by coat type, condition, and any add-on services. You'll see exact pricing on every Booksy listing before you book. How much should I tip my dog groomer? The standard tip for a dog groomer is 15 to 20% of the service total. For an exceptionally well-done groom, a difficult dog who requires extra patience, or a groomer you visit regularly, 20 to 25% is a generous and appreciated gesture. You can add a tip through the Booksy app after your appointment. How long does pet grooming take? A full groom for a small dog typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Medium dogs take 2.5 to 3.5 hours, and large or heavily coated breeds can take 4 to 5 hours. A bath and brush is faster — 1 to 2 hours depending on size. A standalone nail trim takes 10 to 20 minutes. Your groomer can give you a more specific estimate based on your pet's breed and coat condition. How often should I get my dog groomed? Most dogs benefit from a professional groom every 4 to 8 weeks. Dogs with continuously growing coats — Poodles, Doodles, Shih Tzus — need grooming every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent matting. Short-haired breeds can stretch to every 8 to 12 weeks for a full groom, with nail trims and baths in between. Regular grooming keeps the coat healthy, prevents matting, and makes each appointment faster and easier for your dog. Why does my dog act weird after grooming? It's completely normal for dogs to seem tired, subdued, or slightly off after a grooming appointment — the experience involves unfamiliar handling, sounds (dryers, clippers), and being away from home, all of which can be mildly stressful even for well-adjusted dogs. Most dogs return to their normal behavior within a few hours. If your dog seems consistently distressed after grooming, discuss it with your groomer — they may be able to adjust their approach or recommend a calmer handling method.
