Budget notes for a student town with serious dog culture.
Berkeley dogs often live in small rentals and bungalows near campus, so owners tend to compare costs carefully. A bath and brush is a sensible regular service for short coats, with a full groom added every couple of months for dogs that need trims.
The city has popular off-leash spots such as the dog area at Cesar Chavez Park by the marina, which means wind, sand and mud on paws. Tilden Regional Park trails add dry grass and seed heads late in the year.
Mobile grooming works where parking allows, though crowded streets near campus can make a salon visit simpler. Tell the groomer if you rely on public transit.
