Understanding Grooming Pricing at The Blue Hound

One of the questions we hear most often from new clients is: “How much does dog grooming cost?” The answer depends mostly on your dog’s size, coat type, and grooming needs. To keep things simple and transparent, we use a weight-based starting price system.

The chart below shows our Minimalist Package pricing, which serves as the foundation for our grooming services.

Our Minimalist Grooming Package
The pricing shown reflects our Minimalist Package, which includes the essential services most dogs need to stay clean and comfortable.

Each grooming visit includes:

• Double shampoo and conditioner
  
• Professional blow dry
  
• Ear cleaning
  
• Nail trim
  
• 15-minute brush-out
  
• Skin moisturizer
  
• Finishing cologne
  
• Bandana
  

This package focuses on healthy skin, a clean coat, and comfortable nails—the foundation of good grooming.

Simple Grooming or Customized Care — Your Choice
Some dogs only need the basics, while others benefit from additional treatments depending on their coat condition or skin needs.

That’s why we offer optional add-ons and spa upgrades. These can include things like:

• medicated washes
  
• de-shedding treatments
  
• conditioning treatments
  
• specialty nail care
  
• skin support treatments
  

These services can be added only when needed, allowing you to customize your dog’s visit without paying for services you don’t want.

Grooming That Fits Your Budget
Our goal is simple: get dogs the care they need while keeping pricing flexible for families.  Some clients prefer to keep things simple with the Minimalist package, while others choose additional services for coat health, shedding control, or skin support.

By structuring grooming this way, pet owners can focus on:

• their dog’s needs
  
• their preferred level of care
  
• their budget
  

The Most Important Thing: Regular Grooming
Regular grooming helps prevent issues like:

• matting
  
• excessive shedding
  
• skin irritation
  
• overgrown nails
  

More importantly, it keeps dogs comfortable and healthy year-round.  At The Blue Hound, our priority is helping every dog receive the care they need in a calm, supportive environment.

If your pup is due for grooming, we’re always happy to help them feel their best.  Book your dog’s grooming visit anytime through our client portal or by texting 360-464-7545.
