There is a Minimum charge for the first hour it’s $70.00 for grooms on coated dogs (regardless of how long the groom takes) , then It’s 60 cents per minute thereafter, up to two hours max. Also note that each time you come the price is not a set amount. I charge by time going forward. If you are charged a lower price one time than higher another for the same thing it’s because the time is different. (see your emailed invoices) Things like showing up late for the appointment, or I can’t hand dry the whole dog and it needs to be cage dried or if the dog poops or pees on table as I have to stop, re-clean dog, clean table or cage etc., or short clip vs longer hand scissored styles, or the dog is just having a bad day and just being a challenge on the table for the finish of the groom. I hope this explains why just in case you were wondering.
