Shorter visits

Not every pup needs the works.

Puppy Intro Visit

$45 flat

Under 6 months, first two appointments. A short, happy, low-pressure hello: bath, fluff, nails, and lots of praise so grooming never becomes something to dread.

Quick Tidy

$40 flat

Nails, ears, sanitary trim, face tidy, and paw pads — no bath. Great for in-between weeks or dogs who just need the essentials handled.

Senior & Special-Needs Groom

Full groom pricing

Extra time, extra breaks, non-slip footing, and a seated or supported groom for arthritic and anxious pups. We never charge more for going slower.

Nail Trim Only

$20

A standalone driveway nail appointment. Add smooth dremel grinding for $10. Free with any package.

A la carte add-ons

Little extras, coastal touch.

Add any of these to a package when you book, or mention them to your groomer at the door.

Teeth Cleaning

$20 add-on · $30 alone

Anesthesia-free brushing that lifts plaque and freshens breath between veterinary dentals.

De-Shedding Treatment

$20 – $35

Shed-control shampoo, undercoat rake, and extra blow-out time. Priced by size and coat density.

Deep Conditioning Mask

$15

Shea butter and rose oil for dry, brittle, or salt-air-worn coats. Leaves it soft and shining.

Flea & Tick Bath

$20

Medicated flea shampoo with a 10-minute soak, plus a full tick check — a Maine summer must.

Medicated / Oatmeal Bath

$18

Vet-recommended or soothing colloidal oatmeal for itchy, flaky, or hot-spot-prone skin.

Anal Gland Expression

$15

External expression during the bath, done gently and only when your dog needs it.

Blueberry Facial

$12

Tear-stain-fighting facial scrub with a light coastal-blueberry scent — a K-Pup favorite.

Nail Grind Upgrade

$10

A smooth dremel finish so there's nothing sharp left to snag your floors or your legs.

Paw & Nose Balm

$8

Nourishing balm for rough pads and dry noses after a season of sand, salt, and snow.

Sea Salt Spritz

$10

Our signature finishing spray — light, clean, and unmistakably coastal Maine.

De-Matting

$15 per 15 min

Only when it's safe and humane for the dog. Severe matting is shaved, never brushed out painfully.

Bandana or Bow

Free

Every pup leaves with one. Seasonal prints, rotated all year long.

Good to know

What moves the price.

We quote from size and coat, then confirm at the door before a single clipper turns on. You'll never get a surprise number at the end of an appointment.

  • Coat condition — matting adds brushing or de-matting time
  • Behavior — dogs who need frequent breaks take longer
  • Time since the last groom — over 12 weeks usually means more work
  • Style requested — an asymmetrical doodle teddy cut takes longer than a puppy cut

No trip fee

Most mobile groomers charge $15–$25 per household. We don't.

$10 off dog #2

Every additional dog in the same appointment.

Every 4–8 weeks

Recurring clients get first pick of the schedule.

Pay at the door

Card, Apple Pay, Venmo, cash, or check. Tips never expected.

Pricing questions.

How much does mobile dog grooming cost in southern Maine?

A K-Pup full groom runs $85 for a small dog up to $145 for an extra-large dog, and a bath & brush runs $55 to $100. Doodles and heavy double coats are $105 to $170. That's deliberately a little under the national mobile average of roughly $90 to $180, and there is no travel fee anywhere in our twelve-town service area.

Is there a trip or convenience fee?

No. Most mobile groomers add a $15 to $25 household trip fee. We don't — the price you're quoted is the price you pay inside our service area from Kennebunkport to Portland.

Do you charge more for a second dog?

Each dog is priced individually by size and coat, but we take $10 off every additional dog in the same household appointment.

How is my dog's size determined?

By weight: small is up to 24 lb, medium 25 to 50 lb, large 51 to 74 lb, and extra-large 75 lb and up. Coat volume matters too, so a heavily coated 45 lb doodle is quoted on the doodle package.

What if my dog is matted?

We'll always tell you before we start. Light matting is worked out with de-matting time at $15 per 15 minutes. Severe matting is shaved down — brushing out a pelted coat is painful and we won't do it.

How do I pay, and do you take tips?

Card, Apple Pay, Venmo, cash, or check at the end of the appointment. Tips are never expected and always appreciated.
