As dog parents, we know the struggle of finding a grooming service that provides what we need and doesn’t cost a ton. The search for the perfect place can take time! However, if you have a Pet Supplies Plus located near you, you can check them out. Although they only handle dogs, they offer a variety of services to keep your pup looking great.
The cost of services ranges depending on a couple of variables. But, overall, the prices are reasonable, and Pet Supplies Plus offers a self-wash where you can handle your puppy yourself! Here’s a quick look at the cost of grooming your dog at Pet Supplies Plus.
The Importance of Fixing
Grooming your dog regularly offers more benefits than keeping hair out of their eyes or making sure they don’t stink. With proper and regular grooming, you also get rid of fleas, ticks, and other pests you don’t want hanging around. Plus, you’ll help your dog reduce shedding—always a bonus!
Regular grooming done correctly can help identify an illness or disease in your dog that you may not be aware of. It can detect skin lesions, rashes, lumps under the skin, and more. Proper grooming can help your pet’s joints, as too long toenails can lead to misaligned paw pads leading to joint and tendon pain!
How Much Does a Pet Supplies Repair Cost?
Pet Supplies repair services will vary in cost, depending on several factors. One of them is where you live; as you can see from the table below, the East and West Coast tend to be a bit more expensive.
Another variable is the type of dog you have. If you have a smaller dog, you’re looking at lower prices for services. Also, a large dog can cost up to $30 more for the same service. Your pet’s coat type also plays a role, as some types of hair are more difficult to handle than others.
Fortunately, puppy packages and self-wash station prices seem to be the same no matter where you go or what breed you have and are more than reasonably priced.

Additional Costs Expected
Pet Supplies Plus does not only offer the services listed in the table above. In total, they have about 25 add-on services that you can choose from. These services include VIP packages, de-shedding, spa treatments, toothbrushes, flea treatments, and more!
The prices for these seem to be the same across the board, as well, regardless of your location, what type of dog you’re bringing, or the type of coat they have. Add-on packages range from $15–$30, while individual add-on treatments range from $2–$20.
The add-ons are, of course, optional, so you don’t need to get any of them. But if you think your dog deserves to be cared for or you’re desperate to solve a flea problem or control dry skin, you should find an add-on that suits you!
How Often Should I Groom My Dog?
How often your dog should be groomed will vary by pet. It all depends on the breed, what kind of coat they have, and how dirty they are. It also depends on what you asked the groomer to do the last time you groomed your pet. After all, if you cut your puppy, he probably won’t need a haircut for a few months. Considering all this, you should be grooming your dog anywhere between every 6 weeks to 4 months.
If you’re not sure how often they should be groomed, talk to your groomer to see what they recommend.
Does Pet Insurance Cover Grooming?
Most pet insurance doesn’t cover repairs, unfortunately. There’s a chance you might get lucky enough to find a pet insurance company that will, but it’s not very likely. Typically, pet insurance will only cover things like:
- pain
- Accidents
- Vaccines
- Spaying/Neutering
In most cases, pet insurance can cover the cost of dental cleanings or flea/tick treatments. Although, if you have a service or therapy dog, you may want to check and see if any exceptions are made for them when it comes to covering the cost of grooming.
What to Do for Your Dog Between Grooming Sessions
Even if you take your dog in for grooming regularly, you can still groom at home between sessions to keep your pup clean and happy. Brushing their teeth should be a regular thing, just as their coats should be brushed regularly. Can be given a bath when they are dirty and smelly; but don’t bathe them too much, or your dog may develop dry skin. The ears should be checked once a week and gently cleaned if necessary, while the eyes should be checked for frequent discharge. You can even trim your pet’s nails if you’re feeling brave.
Conclusion
If you’ve been looking for a groomer with no luck and there’s a Pet Supplies Plus in your area, we recommend you check them out. With such a wide range of repair services and add-ons available, they are sure to have something that meets your needs. Best of all, they offer self-wash stations where you can bathe your dog yourself when you’re in a hurry or in between regular grooming sessions!
And their prices are pretty reasonable too, though they range quite a bit based on location and breed of dog. You will need to contact your local store or create an online account to find out the exact prices available to you.
