Cat grooming in Malaysia: prices, licences and booking

Updated 4 November 2026

Cat grooming in Malaysia starts from about RM 40 for a basic groom of a small cat, and price lists show RM 75 for short-haired and RM 85 for long-haired cats, according to sellers' websites. Prices depend on the coat, the cat's size and the service, so send a request on BlaBlaPrice to get an exact offer for your cat.

Licences and certification

Certification is not legally required to become a pet groomer in Malaysia, according to one guide, although voluntary certification and tests exist. A pet shop licence from Kuala Lumpur City Hall costs RM 100 for a first application, is valid for a year and renews at RM 50. A cat groomers' association lists a yearly fee of RM 300 for registered groomers aged 18 or over. Ask a groomer which of these they hold before you book.

Season and climate

The climate is tropical, hot all year, with wet and dry seasons. A coat takes longer to dry in the rainy months, so ask whether drying is part of the price. The price lists we found do not change with the season, so the rainy months affect the timing more than the cost.

How grooming is booked here

Prices are per cat and depend on weight and coat length. Some groomers offer a first-visit promotion for regular cat grooming, and salons in Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam publish their own price lists. Check whether the quote includes nail trimming, ear cleaning and drying, and ask how long the session takes.

What to put in your request

Give the cat's weight, the coat type (short or long), the condition of the coat, the temperament, the area you live in, the day you want and your budget. If the cat is nervous, say so, because a calmer session takes longer.
