All very well said! I try to keep my prices as affordable as possible. Grooming is hard on the body and I have to charge accordingly. I’m so thankful to all my clients who have stayed through the prices increases! 🤍🤍

All of my grooms START at $70! I don’t upcharge for little things like nail filing or ear cleaning, it’s all one inclusive price. I use high quality Botaniqa products ONLY! All shampoos, conditioners, coat oils, detangling spray, coat sprays, and colognes are Botaniqa! 🤍

Dog grooming has changed a lot over the years — and not because groomers suddenly decided to raise prices.

Back in the 1990s, the average full groom was about $40–$50.
If prices had increased just $2 per year since then (like most skilled trades), that same groom would be around $117 today for a small dog weighing 0-15 pounds.

For many years, grooming stayed underpriced while:
• supply costs increased
• insurance increased
• utilities increased
• rent increased
• groomer pay increased
• and the popularity of high-maintenance coats (like doodles) dramatically increased the time required per dog

Most full grooms require 2.5–3.5 hours of hands-on work from a trained professional.

Dog grooming is also one of the most physically demanding careers people don’t often think about.

It’s a female-dominated trade that involves:

• standing 6–8 hours per day
• repetitive wrist and shoulder strain
• lifting large dogs
• breathing hair and dander daily
• working around urine and f***s
• handling nervous or biting dogs
• and continuing to provide calm, compassionate care through it all

Many groomers develop long-term back, shoulder, and respiratory issues over time.

At Zen Dog Grooming, our small-dog haircuts currently start at $90 in 2026 which is still below what grooming would average today if pricing had followed steady increases over the last 30+ years.

We truly love what we do, and we appreciate every client who supports professional grooming and our small business.

Happy Monday, Y’all! ☀️ It’s getting hotter and that means it’s deshedding season! I have availability this week to get your pups all cleaned up 🙌🏼

DOUBLE-COAT BREEDS AND HEAT: Many people want to shave their dogs down when it gets hot, but they NEED that outer layer of guard hairs to protect them from the heat and UV!

What they need for the warmer months is a very thorough deshed on a regular schedule so their coat never gets compacted. A compacted undercoat does not allow air and wind to blow through the coat and cool off your pup. Shaving all the hair off doesn’t allow any relief for your pup from the harsh UV rays we get here in Texas, either. Their coat is their “shade” and natural sunscreen. This is why it’s very important to stay on a consistent schedule so your dog can regulate their own temperature naturally with a healthy coat. 🤍✨
