How Much Does Dog Grooming Cost in Perth? (2025 Guide)

Dog grooming prices in Perth vary based on your dog's breed, size, coat condition, and whether you choose a salon or mobile groomer. Here's what to expect in 2025.

Perth Dog Grooming Prices 2025

Small breeds (Maltese, Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, Pomeranian): $60–$90
Small-medium breeds (Cavoodle, Miniature Schnauzer, Jack Russell): $75–$110
Medium breeds (Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, Staffordshire Bull Terrier): $85–$130
Large breeds (Golden Retriever, Labrador, Border Collie, Poodle): $110–$170
Giant breeds (Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Dane, Malamute): $150–$250+
Mobile grooming surcharge: Add $15–$40 to the above

What Affects the Price?

Coat condition: Matted or very overgrown coats take significantly longer and cost more — sometimes requiring a dematting surcharge of $20–$50. Regular grooming avoids this. Breed complexity: Breeds with complicated breed cuts (Poodles, Bichon Frise, Schnauzers) take longer than dogs that just need a wash and trim. Temperament: Anxious or difficult dogs that require extra patience may attract a small surcharge. Add-ons: Teeth brushing ($10–$20), nail grinding ($10–$15), flea/tick treatment ($15–$25).

How Often Should Dogs Be Groomed?

Short-coated breeds (Labradors, Staffies, Beagles): Every 8–12 weeks mainly for nail trim and bath. Long-coated breeds (Maltese, Shih Tzu, Cavoodles): Every 6–8 weeks to prevent matting. Double-coated breeds (German Shepherds, Malamutes): Every 8–12 weeks with deshedding treatments. Regular grooming is always cheaper than fixing a severely matted coat.
