Appointment-Based Dog Grooming in Gilbert / Chandler, Arizona

Fresh coats, trimmed naıls, & wagging tails

Friendly, appointment-based grooming for local families — every groom matched to your dog's coat, size, and temperament, with a clear estimate before you book.

Friendly handling. Clean coats. Clear estimates.

01

Gentle, Patient Grooming

We take time with each dog so grooming feels less stressful and more familiar, especially for puppies, nervous dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience.

02

Services Matched to Your Dog

Coat type, breed, size, age, and condition all matter. We will help recommend the right service instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all package.

03

Clear Communication

Before your appointment, we will talk through what your dog needs, what to expect, and what may affect the final price.

Services & Pricing

Every grooming package includes the basics.

Your price depends on your dog’s size, coat and the service you choose. Ally agrees an estimate with you before your appointment is booked.

Included in every grooming package

  • Shampoo and conditioner suited to your dog’s coat
  • Drying
  • Routine brushing for a maintained coat
  • Gentle cleaning of the outer ear
  • Nail trim, with grinding when it suits your dog and your dog tolerates it

These are part of every package price, never charged on top. Ally completes each step as far as it can be done safely for your dog.

Full groom

Everything included above, plus an all-over pet haircut agreed with you at drop-off, paw and foot finishing, and a sanitary trim as appropriate. Curly and dense coats have their own column because they usually take more time to work through.

Everything included above, plus a tidy of the face, feet and sanitary area. There is no full-body haircut. The prices below are for routine haircut coats. Tidy visits for curly or dense coats are quoted individually.

Pricing

Starting prices by weight

These prices cover a maintained coat, meaning one that brushes through without heavy tangles or mats.

Weight Routine full groom Curly/dense full groom Smooth-coat bath & brush Routine-coat bath & tidy Double-coat bath & deshed
Up to 20 lb $100 $110 $60 $80 $90
Over 20 through 40 lb $115 $125 $70 $95 $105
Over 40 through 60 lb $130 $145 $80 $115 $125
Over 60 through 80 lb $145 $160 $90 $130 $145
Over 80 lb Quoted individually Quoted individually Quoted individually Quoted individually Quoted individually

Reading the weight rows: a dog weighing exactly 20 lb uses the Up to 20 lb row. A dog weighing 20.5 lb uses the Over 20 through 40 lb row.

Dogs over 80 lb: every service is quoted individually after Ally learns about your dog. She will let you know whether it’s a good fit.

Coat, not breed. Your dog’s coat decides which column applies. Poodles and doodles use the curly or dense column when their coat calls for it, with no separate breed surcharge.

What can change your price

Your estimate may be higher than the starting price if your dog needs:

  • Extra coat preparation or matting removal beyond a maintained coat
  • Extensive hand scissoring or a detailed requested style
  • Substantially more undercoat work than agreed in your quote

We quote known extra work up front, before your appointment is booked.

If something comes up during the appointment: if Ally finds work that would go beyond your agreed price, she will ask you first. She will explain the extra time and cost and give you a maximum. Approved additional work is $20 per additional 15 minutes. We never charge twice for the same work. We never charge for ordinary delays on our side. If Ally can’t reach you, she won’t go beyond the agreed service or price. She’ll finish what she safely can within it and talk through options with you at pickup.

Severe matting: brushing out severe matting can be uncomfortable or unsafe for a dog. In that case, Ally may recommend a shorter trim, stop the groom, or suggest another option.

Nail appointments

These are separate appointments, not part of a groom:

  • Nail trim: $20
  • Nail trim and grind: $25, when grinding suits your dog and your dog tolerates it.

Grooming packages already include nails. There is never an extra nail charge on a groom.

How it works

  1. Request an appointment with your dog’s size, coat, the style you’d like, and a few photos if you can.

  2. Ally reviews whether it’s a good fit and sends an estimate before anything is booked.

  3. At drop-off, you and Ally check the coat and style together and agree the service and price before work starts.

  4. Ally gives you an expected pickup time at drop-off.

We groom by appointment only at a home studio in the Chandler area. Exact directions are sent after your appointment is confirmed.

About

A local groomer who treats dogs like family

Barn Yard Buddies was built for dog owners who want their pets to feel cared for, not rushed through an assembly line. We believe grooming should be practical, honest, and kind.

Some dogs love the attention. Some need reassurance. Some arrive with a coat that needs serious work. We meet them where they are and focus on helping each dog leave cleaner, more comfortable, and easier to maintain at home.

FAQ

Good questions,
honest answers.

Do you charge extra for shampoo, nails or ear cleaning?

No. They are included in every grooming package.

My dog is a doodle. Which price applies?

Whichever column matches your dog’s coat. Many doodle coats are curly or dense and use that column. Ally confirms when she sees your dog. There is no extra doodle fee.

Why are these starting prices?

They cover a maintained coat. Ally confirms your estimate before booking, and again with you at drop-off.

How long does a groom take?

Full grooms often take about 2 to 3 hours. Ally gives you an expected pickup time when you drop off.

How often should my dog be groomed?

It depends on the coat and how it’s cared for at home. Ally can suggest a schedule after a visit.

Do I need an account or an app?

No app or account is needed to browse our services. We’ll tell you what’s needed when you request an appointment.

Do you offer other services?

Services not listed here aren’t part of the current menu.

What if my dog is nervous?

Let us know before the appointment. We are happy to talk through your dog's needs and recommend the best approach for a calmer grooming visit.

What if my dog has matting?

Please mention it when you reach out. Matting can affect comfort, service options, appointment time, and pricing.

Call or email Ally to request an appointment or an estimate. Your appointment is booked once Ally confirms it.
