GroomQuoteHow much does it cost to groom a Border Collie?
Typical starting range
$72–$93
This is a national starting range for a Border Collie with a well-maintained coat and no add-ons. Matting, temperament, and your ZIP code can all move the real number.
Size: Medium
About 20–50 lb (Beagle, Cocker Spaniel)
Coat: Double
Thick undercoat plus guard hairs (Husky, Golden Retriever)
Border Collie temperament
Whip-smart and high-energy, Border Collies do best with a groomer who keeps the session brisk and purposeful - they tolerate handling well but get restless if things drag.
Grooming a Border Collie
The double coat sheds heavily, especially around seasonal changes, and regular de-shedding brush-outs are the main defense against a matted undercoat that traps heat against the skin.
How often does a Border Collie need grooming?
Every 8-12 weeks, with a de-shedding treatment during spring and fall shedding season.
Watch for matting
A Border Collie's coat mats easily if brushing lapses. Severe matting typically adds $44 or more and can mean a full shave-down for your dog's comfort and safety, since careful de-matting takes real table time. See the matting guide for what each severity level looks like.
