A full groom is the complete package: your dog leaves clean, tidy and styled from nose to tail. It's the right choice when the coat needs a proper haircut, not just a wash — most long, curly and double coats in Singapore need one every four to six weeks.
What it covers
- Bath with a coat-appropriate shampoo, plus blow-dry
- Full body haircut or scissor style (puppy cut, teddy bear, or breed style)
- Brush-out and de-tangle
- Nail trim, ear cleaning and sanitary/paw-pad tidy
- Face and feet finishing
Best for
- Long silky coats (Shih Tzu, Maltese, Yorkie)
- Curly and wool coats (Poodle, doodle, Bichon)
- Any dog whose coat has grown out and needs shaping
- Owners who want a clean, styled, ready-to-cuddle finish
Choosing a style
The three most-requested styles in Singapore are the puppy cut (an even, low-maintenance all-over length), the teddy bear (rounded face and softer lines) and full scissoring to a breed standard. A good groomer will talk through what suits your dog's coat, lifestyle and the climate before starting.
In Singapore's heat and humidity, many owners keep coats a little shorter between grooms to stay comfortable and reduce matting — but that's a preference, not a rule. Tell your matched groomer how you like your dog to look and they'll work to it.
A full groom typically runs from about $70 for a small dog to $350 for a large or heavily-coated one, depending on size, coat and matting. See the price guide.
