I like our groomer....she does a good job, and Boomer doesn't ever seem stressed or anything, but I kinda think her price is a little high, but it may not be....I took Boomer for a bath, nail trim, and groom, and Sooner (the pup) got a bath and a nail trim. It was $76 for both of them. They are Springer spaniels....just wondering if this was par with groomer fees around the country or not.
I imagine rates for grooming are pretty much like what you pay for everything else - it all depends where you live and how fancy a place you want to take them. Some of the exclusive spas in the bigger cities - yikes - talk about pricey.

When I had my guys in last week, I paid $42 for Sparky and $28 for Myndi. Of course Sparky gets the real close cut (as you can see in my siggy pic), whereas Myndi just gets evened up all over, and the hair on her legs and toes and butt cut. Of course that includes the bath and comb out and nails for both of them. I actually paid more at previous groomers - up to $80 at Petsmart for both of them. Unfortunately, if I decide to use the mobile groomer, it would be about $75 each!!! That's not really in my budget, but I could compensate some by stretching the time between grooming visits, and just trim them up a little on my own if they get looking too bad!
