As a rough guide, a Full Groom for a small, long-haired dog can take up to two hours. However, a larger dog's groom may take longer. A Full Groom Smooth Hair takes up to 90 minutes, and a Bath, Brush & Blow Dry takes around 60 minutes on average.
How long does it take to do a full groom?
The quick answer is: It will take an average of 1 hour to groom your dog. If he has a short and low-maintenance coat you may be done in as little as 20 minutes. If you own a breed with a more difficult coat or a large breed, it may take up to 2 hours to groom your dog.
What does a full groom include?
A professional grooming session typically consists of the dog being brushed, bathed, and dried, as well as trimmed or clipped with clean, sanitized brushes and clipper blades.
Why does it take so long at the dog groomer?
There's a lot of prep work that needs to be done, including taking care of the basics like shaving or brushing out a dog's coat, cutting their nails, brushing their teeth and cleaning out their ears. Groomers will always brush a dog's coat before they bathe them to avoid tangles and knots!
How often should a dog get a full groom?
A short cut can last a dog two to three months, but if your groomer leaves more than an inch of fur on your dog at a cut, you should get your dog groomed every four to six weeks to prevent matting.
