How much does dog grooming cost in Austin, TX?

Dog grooming prices in Austin vary significantly depending on the type of service, your dog's size, and whether you go mobile or salon. Here's what you can realistically expect to pay.

Austin grooming price ranges by service type

Full groom (bath, cut, nail trim, ear cleaning):

• Small dog (under 20 lbs): $55–$100
• Medium dog (20–50 lbs): $80–$140
• Large dog (50–80 lbs): $100–$175

These are Austin-market estimates based on National Dog Groomers Association pricing benchmarks and local market research (2025–2026).

Mobile vs salon pricing in Austin

Mobile grooming runs $10–$40 higher than comparable salon services. The difference reflects:

• Private one-on-one environment
• No waiting in a kennel
• Convenience (you don't have to drive)
• Reduced handling stress for the dog

For many Austin dog owners, the premium is worth it — particularly for anxious dogs, elderly dogs, or owners who value their time.

What drives the price up

• **Severe matting**: Severely matted coats take significantly more time and care. Some groomers charge $10–$25 per hour of additional work.
• **Coat condition**: Neglected coats require more product and time.
• **Breed difficulty**: Some breed-specific cuts (Schnauzers, Poodles, Bichons) require more skill and time.
• **Frequency**: Dogs groomed every 6–8 weeks are easier and cheaper to maintain per session.
