Dog grooming cost FAQ — Charlotte, NC
How much does dog grooming cost in Charlotte, NC?
At FreshCoat Grooming on Thrift Road, a basic bath and blowout starts at $45 for small dogs and a full groom with haircut starts at $85. Curly and doodle coats start at $65 for baths and $100 for full grooms. Final pricing depends on size, coat type, and coat condition.
Why do doodles and curly coats cost more?
Curly, wavy, and doodle coats take significantly longer to dry, brush out, and scissor evenly. The curly-coat column reflects that extra hands-on time — not a different service.
How much is a puppy's first groom?
Puppies under 6 months are $55 flat, any breed. It includes a gentle puppy shampoo, blow-dry, brush, nail trim, and a face, paw pad, and sanitary trim.
Do you charge extra for matted dogs?
De-matting starts at $30 and depends on severity. If a coat is matted to the skin, we will always recommend the safest option for your dog and quote you before we start.
Is there a cheap dog grooming special in Charlotte?
Yes — every Sunday and Monday we run a $30 bath and blowdry for any breed at our Charlotte salon. Call (980) 307-0940 to grab a slot.
Do prices include nails and ears?
Yes. Nail trimming, ear cleaning, sanitary trim, and gland expression are already included in the Basic Full Groom price — they are not surprise add-ons.
