Price Update Notice
It has been over two years since we last adjusted our prices, and during that time, our operating costs have risen in several areas, specifically:
- Minimum employee wages in Illinois increased from $13/hour in 2023 to $15/hour in 2025
- Property taxes in Cook County were reassessed in 2025, which significantly increased our rent
- The cost of grooming essentials- like shampoos, conditioners, and blades- has climbed sharply, especially throughout 2025
We have done everything we can to absorb these increases without raising prices.
However, at this point, we must make a small adjustment.
Effective after Martin Luther King Day, our dog grooming prices will increase by an average of $3-$8, depending on the service.
Prices for cat grooming, self-serve baths, and add-ons will remain the same.
We are deeply grateful for your trust and loyalty.
Thank you for supporting our small business and allowing us to care for your furry family members.
Warm regards,
Dirty Dog Grooming Team
