Pet grooming can be expensive due to the cost of high-quality equipment and products, the experience and expertise of the groomers, and the cost of running a business. The cost of grooming services may vary depending on the type of pet, the length and thickness of their fur, and the specific services requested.

As a general rule, short-haired dogs should be brushed at least weekly, but medium and long-haired pets require daily brushing to keep them comfortable and reduce shedding. Dogs with thick undercoats (double-coated dogs) also need daily brushing, whether their coats are long or short.
