People search "how much is dog grooming in Panama City" every day, and almost every result hides the pricing behind a form. We don't play that game. Here's exactly what we charge at Animal Friends Pet Care in 2026, along with an explanation of why prices vary.

Why grooming prices vary between shops
If you've shopped around Panama City, you've probably seen prices from $25 to $150+ for the same type of service. Here's what usually explains the gap:
- Time spent per dog (rushed assembly-line vs. one-on-one appointments)
- Quality of shampoos and products (cheap detergents vs. pet-safe premium)
- Groomer experience and training
- Facility overhead (home shop vs. professional salon)
- Included services (some shops charge extra for ear cleaning or nail trims)
- Safety equipment (climate control, sanitation, camera supervision)
How FurPlan members save $300+ per year
Our FurPlan membership runs from $48.88/month for small dogs up to $89.72/month for over-100-pound dogs. It includes 2 baths every month, 50% off full grooms, 10% off boarding, and free nail trims on the go. Doing the math: if your dog gets a monthly bath ($50) and a full groom every other month ($90), you'd pay $50 + $45 = $95/month à la carte. A small-dog FurPlan member pays $48.88/month for the same thing — that's $553/year in savings.
Is cheaper always worse?
Not necessarily — there are great groomers at lower price points if they're working from home with low overhead. But be cautious of shops that advertise full grooms for $25–$35. That usually means rushed work, cheap products, or missing services. Ask what's included. Ask to see the salon. And ask for references.
