Dog grooming prices in Colton & Yucaipa.

Yes. Animal Kingdom calls itself the home of the $5 nail trim. The published price for a nail trim on its own is $5-$10.

Call or text the shop to ask what puts a trim at the top of that range, and whether you need an appointment for one.

Both include a haircut, bath, blueberry facial, brush, nail trim and ear cleaning. The Royal Groom adds sensitive skin shampoo and a paw and nose moisturizer, for $5 more at each size.

The Royal is a good fit for dogs with itchy or sensitive skin, and for dry noses and cracked pads after an Inland Empire summer of hot sidewalks or a windy, dry winter.

It means “starting at.” The listed price is where that size begins, and the final price can be higher.

At most grooming shops, coat length and thickness, matting, a dog’s size within its category, and how long the dog needs to stay calm all affect the final price. Ask the shop for a quote when you book, especially if your dog is matted.

Doodle coats are curly, dense and quick to mat, so a full groom takes much longer than a short-coated dog of the same size. That is why Animal Kingdom lists doodles separately: $135+ for a Basic Groom and $140+ for a Royal Groom.

Regular brushing at home and grooms every four to six weeks keep doodle coats manageable and help avoid dematting charges.
