What's included in mobile grooming prices?
A standard mobile grooming appointment covers:
- Bath with professional shampoo and conditioner
- Blow-dry and brush-out
- Ear cleaning
- Nail trim
- Anal gland expression (on request)
- Bandana or bow
A full groom also includes a haircut styled to breed standard or owner preference.
What makes the price go up?
Several factors push the bill higher:
- Matting: Severely matted coats require much more time and may incur a dematting surcharge of $15–$45.
- Coat condition: Dogs that haven't been groomed in 3+ months typically cost 10–20% more for the first session.
- Breed complexity: Doodles, Samoyeds, and Chow Chows are labor-intensive regardless of size.
- Add-ons: Teeth brushing (+$15–$20), blueberry facials (+$10–$15), paw balm treatment (+$12).
- Geographic edge cases: Some groomers charge trip fees for addresses beyond their core service area.
Mobile vs. salon: is mobile actually more expensive?
Often, no — especially when you factor in everything:
- No gas cost driving to/from the salon (20–40 minutes round trip for most Katy addresses)
- No boarding time — your dog is home in 90 minutes, not sitting in a kennel for 6 hours
- One-on-one attention from a single groomer, not passed around between stylists
- Less stress for the dog, which actually leads to better results
Drop-off salons in Katy typically charge $70–$140 for a full groom. Add your time and fuel and the numbers get close quickly.
How often should you book?
For most dogs, every 6–8 weeks keeps the coat in great shape and avoids the extra charge that comes with heavily matted or overgrown coats. Some breeds — poodles, doodles, schnauzers — do better on a 4–6 week schedule.
If your dog is between grooms and needs a quick nail trim, standalone nail trims typically run $20–$35.
