grooming a dog

[cazxx1]

anyone know the cost of grooming a yorkshire terrier cheers

[Postdog]

Round my way (north east london) it costs about �15 - �20.

Nothing if you do it yourself! Seriously though, long coats should be combed daily anyway. If you want a 'short back & sides' look consider buying some clippers, they cost about the same as a single grooming session & come with scissors & instructional video/cd!
A friend started by having her dog groomed professionally when it was a pup, at a groomer recommended by the pup's breeder & then once the dog was trained took over doing it herself.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the vet nurse will usually trim claws for nothing too. Ask at the vets.

I have a shiztu and i pay 26 quid that includes claw cutting and anal gland clearing and they do a fantastic job well worth the money

Our local vets charge about �10 to cut nails, but we do it for free for our customers on the stall. As with the eggs (see other thread) everything costs more such as electric, phone, insurance, petrol, so things are never going to be cheap again.
The groomers have to pay their mortgages as well, so if you find a good one, be prepared to pay or learn to do it yourself. My friend charges �15 for a straightforward trim and bath, but a more complicated cut would be �20 - �25 depending on time taken.
