Specialty Breed Pricing
Standard Poodles start at $185-$200
This price reflects the cost for a basic puppy cut (same length all over), or lamb cut (legs left slightly longer & fuller than body) both with clean face and feet.
Price will fluctuate based on time, coat condition, length of coat, temperament/behavior of pet, amount of hand scissoring per style.
The more intensive styles, such as the Continental Cut, are better serviced in a shop setting to allow pet time to rest.
Picture features Gus Gillespie, a 9 lb Havapoo.
Specialty Breeds & Cuts
Oodles of Doodles!
Doodles come in all shapes, sizes, weights, coat thicknesses and coat textures.

Mix it with a Poodle and you've got a Doodle!
They can have coats that are wiry, curly, double coated or some variation of all three.
Our costs for these mixed breeds will be priced on a case by case basis as no two Doodles are exactly alike! These fees are based on time dedicated to the service.
They require more product, brushing, hand scissoring and a much longer dry time which is why they get their own category of pricing.

Deshedding
The Best for Your Pet
**Double Coated breeds will add to the time & cost to the service. We can give the best quote possible but are unable to determine final cost until end of service depending on Condition of coat, Thickness & how much the pet is shedding.
Desheds will add an additional $15-200 (The higher deshed price applies to heavily double coated breeds. Ex: German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepherds, etc. on top of the Ultimate Spa Bath Price.
Sadly, the grooming van will not be able to safely accommodate giant breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Malamutes, Bernese Mountain Dogs.

Why does Mobile Grooming cost so much more than a shop?
1. Grooming vans are extremely expensive! This van cost more than my first home! (Visit wagntails.com to take a look at the different conversions with base price at $115,000) Vehicle insurance alone is not cheap. I have a model that utilizes the newest technology using a lithium battery rather than a generator. Additionally, fuel costs, business insurance, continuing education, personal time, tools/equipment, wear and tear on vehicle, labor and then on top of that we have to make a profit to make a living. I use top of the line equipment and products to insure the best for your pet!
2. Resources are limited. I have a 50 gallon fresh water tank, a propane water heater along with an overhead AC unit and a propane furnace for heating and cooling. In a shop situation, we do not have to worry about running out of water or that our battery is running low on power and we have to plug in. The amount of water I have on hand typically determines how many pets I may service. The bigger and hairier the dog, the more water it takes so I am forced to do less dogs in a day. One particularly heavy coated dog took half my tank of water the first time I groomed it! As a result, those big fur babies are going to cost a lot more since they limit my day.
3. Driving time takes away from grooming time. Each day I am in a different area and have to arrange my schedule logistically to keep from driving all over town. I know this is frustrating for some who say, "but I only live 10 min outside of JC". I have to look at it as, that is 10min driving to you, 5-10min to get the pet to the van and 10min back to my normal service area. That equates to 25-30min of lost time that could have been dedicated to grooming a pet within the city. My schedule has been logistically crafted to where my clients on each day are mostly within a 3-8 minute drive from each other. These vans also are not built for gravel or super hilly/curvy areas. I do spend a day or two every 6wks in the Taos and Wardsville areas but they are slow going to get there because of the load I carry.
4. Vehicle Maintenance/Weather. Should my van ever break down, this can definitely be a major issue. In a shop setting, we just have to worry about getting there. When your shop is on wheels, it gets complicated. There are snowy days when I don't mind driving my personal vehicle but it becomes very selective when it comes to the Mobile Van. This van is my business and my source of income. If I risk it in any way, I risk losing my income for a period of time as well. I have discovered this summer with the intense heat, my battery life does not last as long because I am running my AC on high while using other heavy equipment such as my force dryer. I have to start my days really early and find shade to park to try and beat the heat. I have to monitor my van to keep it comfortable for myself and the pets. Several times in the summer I was forced to move clients' appointments from the dangerous, hot days to my day off to lesson the load.
5. Convenience, Luxury & Experience. Ben Franklin is quoted for stating, time is money. What exactly is your time worth? When you choose Mobile Grooming, consider how you are saving yourself the time it takes to pack your pet up to drop off at a shop. In most cases, you are making two trips and possibly driving more than 15-20min in some cases taking over an hour of your time. The convenience and luxury of Mobile coming directly to your home to provide special, personal services for your pet is going to cost more but, it is also going to save you precious time. If you are looking for a deal, you will need to find a shop setting. With Mobile, you should always be paying more than shop prices, not only because of the previous points, but because an entire pet styling shop on wheels is parking at practically at your front doorstep. Your pet is being pampered with one on one attention from start to finish with minimal distraction and zero cages. On top of this, they have the experience of a stylist who has been doing this for nearly 20 years.
I still love what I do!
