GroomQuoteHow much does it cost to groom a Miniature Poodle?
Typical starting range
$68–$83
This is a national starting range for a Miniature Poodle with a well-maintained coat and no add-ons. Matting, temperament, and your ZIP code can all move the real number.
Size: Small
Under about 20 lb (Chihuahua, Yorkie)
Coat: Curly / Doodle-type
Dense curls that mat easily (Poodle, Doodle mixes)
Miniature Poodle temperament
Minis share the Toy Poodle's sharp, eager temperament and are usually easy to handle, though their slightly larger size gives groomers a bit more to work with on styled cuts.
Grooming a Miniature Poodle
Their coat is the same dense, curly, continuously-growing type as other Poodle sizes, and clients often want a specific clip style - teddy bear, lamb, sporting - so it helps to know their preference before starting.
How often does a Miniature Poodle need grooming?
Every 4-6 weeks. Curly and doodle-type coats mat quickly if brushing lapses even a week or two.
Watch for matting
A Miniature Poodle'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.
