What does dog grooming cost in Springfield, MO?

Most groomers here, us included, publish a starting price per service and size, then confirm the final price once they see the dog. Where you land depends mostly on the service you book and your dog’s size and coat. Here’s what Dapper Doodle charges:

What’s included in a full groom?

A full-service groom is the most complete option and usually includes a bath with premium shampoo, a haircut and style, blow-dry and brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, and finishing touches tailored to your dog’s coat. Because it’s the most time-intensive service, it’s the most expensive thing on the menu.

Why does the price vary so much?

Three factors drive most of the difference in grooming price:

• Size: Bigger dogs take more time, water, shampoo, and drying, so they cost more.
• Coat type and length: Curly, double, or long coats — think doodles, Pomeranians, and huskies — take far more work than short, smooth coats.
• Condition: Matting, heavy shedding, or a dog that’s overdue for a groom can add de-matting or de-shedding charges.

How much does it cost to groom a doodle in Springfield?

Doodles and other curly-coated breeds sit toward the higher end because their coats are dense and fast-growing. In Springfield, a standard doodle full groom typically runs $90–$130, with mini doodles closer to $60–$100 and large doodles higher. For a full breakdown, see our guide on how much it costs to groom a doodle.

How often does your dog need grooming?

Most dogs need a professional groom every 4–8 weeks. Curly and doodle coats usually need attention every 4–6 weeks, while short, smooth coats can stretch closer to 8 weeks with baths and nail trims in between. A regular schedule keeps each groom faster, easier, and often cheaper than letting a coat get matted. Learn more in our guide on how often you should groom your dog.

How to save on dog grooming in Springfield

You don’t have to choose between a clean dog and your budget. A few ways to keep costs down:

• Brush your dog at home between grooms to prevent matting.
• Book maintenance trims between full grooms instead of waiting for a full reset.
• Use a self-wash station for in-between baths — at Dapper Doodle, the Wash Club is $9.99/month for unlimited self-wash plus 10% off full grooms.
