I often get asked for a quote on a price for pet grooming over the phone. This is hard to do without seeing the pet, as there can be many variations and variables. One variable is size, and another is handling. Dogs that are well-handled and trained will be priced differently than those without training. What coat type do you they have? Prices can even vary from season to season for individual dogs. Is your dog a senior with arthritis? Does he have pain meds to help him maneuver or is he in pain. Below are all Golden Retrievers, all with very different coats, and all will be a different price. Will they stand nicely for the groom? Do they need extra time and emotional support? Will I need extra time to gently detangle and use extra product? Are there fleas or ticks? Are there ear infections? Phew! I tried to keep that short. ππΎ
