Pricing
Setting prices, charging for the work in front of you and making sure completed grooms get paid.
Stage 1
Know what an hour needs to earn
Separate your pay, business costs and profit. Use realistic hours you can sell.
Stage 2
Build prices around the work
Turn the hourly target into services, inclusions and travel charges.
Go deeper when you need it
Should grooming extras be included or priced separately?
Include work that defines the service and separate genuine choices that consume distinct time or product.
How should a mobile dog groomer charge for travel?
Use a clear service area, zone or isolated-trip fee that pays for road time without surprising the client.
Stage 3
Quote and change prices clearly
Set the price promise, agree extra work and handle existing bookings when prices rise.

How should a dog grooming cancellation policy work?
Set clear late-cancellation and no-show consequences that match the reserved work.
When should dog grooming clients pay?
Use deposits for commitment, saved payment details for recovery and final payment once changed work is agreed.
Should you pass card fees on or include them in grooming prices?
Choose a card-fee policy using verified acceptance costs, clear total prices and the October 2026 rule change.
Stage 5
Check what the change earns
Compare revenue with costs, owner hours and future service commitments before repeating an offer.
