Short answer: a salon full groom in Edmonton starts at about $50 to $65 for a small dog and $90 to $120 for a large one, based on prices Edmonton groomers publish in 2026. Curly-coated breeds like poodles and doodles cost more — up to $150 or more for a large dog. Mobile grooming costs much more: one Edmonton mobile groomer lists full grooms starting at $178.
Prices below are what three Edmonton groomers list on their own websites, checked September 25, 2026. They change — always confirm with the groomer.

Edmonton prices by coat type
Another Edmonton salon prices by coat as well as size, which is where the real differences show:
| Size | Smooth coat | Drop coat | Curly coat (poodles, doodles) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extra small | $50–$60+ | $65–$75+ | $70–$85+ |
| Small | $60–$75+ | $70–$85+ | — |
| Medium | $78–$90+ | $85–$100+ | $85–$125+ |
| Large | $95–$120+ | — | $130–$150+ |
| Extra large | $130–$160+ | — | $160–$185+ |

The takeaway: in Edmonton, a medium doodle can cost up to $125 where a medium smooth-coated dog costs $78 to $90, because the coat takes longer.
Mobile grooming in Edmonton
Edmonton's gap between salon and mobile prices is wide. Groomer on the Spot, a mobile groomer serving Edmonton and Sherwood Park, lists full grooming from $178 and a bath with basics from $148. Owners are paying for the groom to happen at their door, with no drop-off and no crate time — and a mobile groomer's day includes the drive between every appointment.
What else moves the price
- Condition of the coat. Matting adds time or means a shave-down. Expect a de-matting charge on top.
- Time since the last groom. Every six to eight weeks keeps a coat manageable and the price predictable.
- Shedding season. Spring brings de-shed appointments for huskies, shepherds and golden retrievers, often billed by time.
- Temperament. Some groomers add a handling fee for dogs that need a slower groom.
If you're a groomer setting your prices
Edmonton's price lists are a good model: price by coat as well as size, bill de-shedding and de-matting by time, and publish the add-ons. List each coat type as its own service so your calendar blocks the right amount of time — a curly-coat groom booked into a smooth-coat slot runs into your next appointment.
