Dog Grooming Prices

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows the average price for getting a yorkshire terrier groomed? I've been quoted £27 at pets at home which seems really expensive for a small dog, or is that about right? also does anyone know if the groomers at pets at home are any good? :)

    Ask other dog owners when you are out walking for recommendations locally.

    I wouldn't leave my dog with pets at home either!

    We take ours to a quiet and rather weird(?) Lady, who gets on with the job and charges £20.00 for our small-medium dog.

    If you could give a clue as to where abouts you are maybe some one can recommend their own groomer. We have a fantastic groomer, we are very luck yot have her. x

    Our groomer charges £20 for Lucy who weighs 40kg so £27 for a small dog seems expensive to me.

    my Gizmo is a small dog, yorkie x jrt, we've been to a few different groomers over the years and never paid more than £22 for him.

    I wouldn't trust pets at home with him!

    I pay £25 for my border terrier which includes nails, shampooing and clipping. If we have him hand stripped its another £7, but we stopped doing that when we thought it must be awful for him having his hair pulled out - I know thats probably soft on our part because the hair is loose in the first place, but ........ In between we use a furminator to thin his coat.

    Our Westie x Yorkie/JRT's had their first groom, nails trimmed, ears & eyes checked 10 weeks ago and we were charged £55 for the pair and thought it was really reasonable!

    Zara got skin burns at PAH groomers - that was bad, never again.


    I am nto sure it depends on the size of the dog alone, also on the type of fur/cut/trim etc...time it takes


    I pay £45 for Zara (wash, dry, earc, nails clipped),
