We will send your quote plus a free 14-day trial of Animal Friends OS — the grooming software that turns pricing rules into one-tap tickets.
The Grooming Price Calculator uses the same three-step formula most professional salons price by hand: a base price that scales with dog size, a coat multiplier, and a la carte line items. Here is exactly what it does.
Suggested price = (Size base price × Coat multiplier) + sum of selected services + sum of selected add-ons
Price range = suggested × 0.90 (low end) to suggested × 1.15 (high end). This gives you wiggle room for first-time client discounts, matted-coat surcharges, or tip-based negotiation.
These are starting points, not law. If you are in a high-cost metro (NYC, SF, LA, Seattle, DC) add 20-30%. If you are in a rural or low-cost market, drop 10-15%. Animal Friends OS lets you set your own base prices once and it handles the rest forever.
The multiplier accounts for brushing time, blow-out time, and product consumption. Double-coat breeds can easily double a groom's chair time in spring and fall — charging for it is not rude, it is honest.
Each service adds its flat price to the quote. You can toggle anything on or off: bath, brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, de-shedding, flea bath, plus express, sanitary trim, and paw pad add-ons. If you normally bundle bath + brush-out + nails into your base, leave those unchecked and the number shown stays clean.
The “vs regional average” badge compares your suggested quote to the typical US range for that size class. “Below” means you have headroom to raise prices. “In range” means you are priced correctly. “Above” means you should be winning on service, not price — which is completely fine if your brand supports it.
The fastest groomers we have met do not keep prices in their head — they set them once in software and let the software handle the math. Animal Friends OS lets you save per-breed, per-coat, and per-service pricing once, then tap a button at check-in. The same tool that runs a real operating grooming salon every day is available as a 14-day free trial.
