Pet Grooming Prices in Singapore (2026 Guide)

Whether you have a tiny Pomeranian or a long-haired cat, knowing the typical pet grooming price in Singapore helps you compare salons and budget for regular visits. This guide sets out indicative SGD ranges for dogs and cats, broken down by breed and coat type, and by basic versus full grooming — plus the factors that push the cost up or down.

The figures below are broad market ranges for orientation only. Actual prices depend on your pet’s breed, size, coat condition, the service chosen and the salon, so always confirm the quote and what is included before your appointment.

Pet Grooming Cost in Singapore

In Singapore, pet grooming costs vary based on the size of the pet and the type of grooming service selected. For basic grooming, which typically includes services like ear cleaning, nail clipping, and a bath, prices generally range from $60 to $80 for small breeds, $90 to $110 for medium breeds, and $120 to $160 for large breeds. Extra-large breeds may see costs from $170 to $190. Cat grooming typically falls between $110 and $160.

Full grooming services, which add styling and more comprehensive care, are priced higher. Small dogs usually cost $100 to $130, medium dogs $140 to $170, large dogs $180 to $220, and extra-large dogs $220 to $270. Cats are generally charged between $180 and $220 for full grooming.

Additional services like a Nano Bubble Spa or skin and coat rejuvenation can be added for an extra fee, with prices for these services ranging from $35 to $120 depending on the pet’s size and the specific treatment chosen.

While these are typical prices, some grooming services may offer promotional rates or charge more for complex grooming needs. It’s advisable to check with individual groomers for specific pricing and available packages.

What affects the price

• Size and breed: larger dogs take longer and use more product, so they cost more than small breeds.
• Coat type: long, curly or double coats — and breeds prone to matting — need more time and skill than short, smooth coats.
• Basic vs full groom: a bath-and-tidy is cheaper than a full groom with a haircut or breed-specific styling.
• Cat vs dog: cats often require slower, more careful handling, which can make grooming pricier than for a similar-sized dog.
• Coat condition: matting and tangles add de-matting time and may carry an extra charge.
• Service format and add-ons: mobile grooming, teeth brushing, anal-gland expression, flea baths and nail grinding are usually billed on top.

Because “grooming” can mean very different things, two quotes can differ for good reasons. A quick bath-and-tidy and a full breed-standard styling are both “grooming”, yet the work and cost are not the same. Ask the salon to explain exactly what your pet’s groom includes so you can judge whether a quote is fair.

How to compare grooming quotes

Grooming fees are not always quoted as a single number, so it pays to ask for a full breakdown before booking.

• State your pet’s breed, weight and coat condition so the quote reflects the actual job.
• Ask what the base price covers — bath, dry, nails, ears — and which services are paid add-ons.
• Confirm whether de-matting is charged separately, and at what rate, if the coat is tangled.
• For styled breeds, ask about the specific cut and whether it affects the price.
• Check how the salon handles anxious pets and whether handling time changes the cost.

Red flags to avoid

• No quote before the groom: a reliable price comes after seeing your pet’s breed, size and coat.
• Unclear billing: a lump-sum figure with no breakdown of the base groom and add-ons.
• Headline prices that climb: a low advertised rate that grows once de-matting and extras are added.
• Rough or rushed handling: a good groomer is patient, especially with cats and anxious pets.
• Pressure to shave a matted coat without explanation: sometimes necessary, but it should be discussed first.
• Vague hygiene practices: unclean tools or tables, or no clear policy on flea or skin issues.

Budgeting for grooming across the year

Singapore’s warm, humid climate means most pets need grooming more often than the single salon fee suggests. Many dog owners book a full groom every four to eight weeks, while short-coated breeds and cats may stretch longer between visits. When you multiply the per-visit price by the number of grooms a year, the annual figure is what really shapes your budget, so it helps to plan around frequency rather than a one-off cost.

To keep yearly spending predictable, consider these approaches:

• Packages and memberships: some salons offer prepaid bundles or monthly plans that work out cheaper per visit than ad-hoc bookings, which suits pets on a regular schedule.
• Mix basic and full grooms: alternating a cheaper bath-and-tidy with a full styling groom can lower the average cost without letting the coat get out of hand.
• Upkeep between visits: regular brushing at home reduces matting in humid weather, which helps avoid de-matting surcharges later.
• Travel and convenience: mobile grooming saves a trip but may carry a premium, so weigh it against a nearby salon when comparing total cost.

Because frequency varies so much by breed and coat, ask a groomer how often they would recommend visits for your specific pet, then build that cadence into your budget. You can shortlist options near you by browsing salons across the pet grooming category and comparing what each visit includes.

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog grooming cost in Singapore?

A full groom commonly ranges from around $45 for a small dog to $180 or more for a large or double-coated breed, with basic bath-and-tidy services costing less. Price depends on size, coat type and the styling involved, so confirm what the quote includes before booking.

How much is cat grooming in Singapore?

Cat grooming often ranges from around $50 for a basic bath-and-tidy to $150 or more for a full groom such as a lion cut. Cats usually need slower, more careful handling, which can make grooming pricier than for a similar-sized dog.

Why does grooming cost more for some breeds?

Long, curly or double-coated breeds — and those prone to matting — take more time, skill and product to groom and style than short-coated breeds. Larger dogs also cost more because the job takes longer, so breed and coat type strongly affect the final price.

What is the difference between a basic and full groom?

A basic groom typically covers bathing, drying, a light tidy, nail clipping and ear cleaning. A full groom adds a full haircut or breed-specific styling, so it costs more. Ask the salon which one your quote covers and whether extras like teeth or nail grinding are included.

Why might my grooming bill be higher than quoted?

The most common reason is a matted or tangled coat, which needs extra de-matting time and may carry a separate charge. Add-ons such as flea baths, anal-gland expression, teeth brushing and nail grinding are also usually billed on top, so ask for an itemised quote upfront.
