For dog owners

• How much does a Doggy BBL cost?A Doggy BBL costs more than a standard groom because it is hand scissored and takes longer. See what sets the price, what to ask, and how to keep the bill down.
• Which dogs can get a Doggy BBL?The Doggy BBL needs a thick coat that stands up when dried: poodles, bichons, doodles and some double coats. See which coat types work and which do not.
