Grooming prices by dog size
Your service prices by size for the coat you picked, normal condition, no plan discount, add-ons or travel. Change “Your prices” and the table follows.
| Service | Toy | Small | Medium | Large | Giant |
|---|
1. Service × size × coat
Each service has a small-dog price and time. Bigger dogs and thicker or curly coats take longer, so multipliers raise both price and time. Matting and nervous dogs add more.
2. Rebook, extras, travel
Dogs on a 4 or 6 week rebook get a small discount because their coat stays in shape. Add-ons are priced flat, and mobile groomers charge per mile past a free radius.
3. Profit check
Groomer pay (commission on service and add-ons, or hours × rate), supplies and van or salon cost come off. Price ÷ groom hours is compared with your target to say Good, Thin or Too low.

Questions
How much should I charge for a full groom?
Many US groomers charge about $75 to $125 for a full groom on a small dog, $125 to $175 for a medium dog and $175 or more for large and giant breeds. Doodles, double coats and matting take longer and cost more. Check local prices and make sure each groom meets your target per hour.
Should I charge extra for matting?
Yes. Matted coats take much longer and are harder on the dog and your blades. Most groomers add a matting fee or charge dematting per 15 minutes, and tell the owner before the groom.
How often should a dog be rebooked?
Every 4 to 6 weeks for doodles, poodles and long coats, and every 8 to 12 weeks for short coats. A small discount for regular rebooking keeps your calendar full and coats easier to groom.
Commission or hourly pay for groomers?
Commission of 40% to 60% of the service price is the most common for groomers; bathers are often paid hourly. Switch the pay type under “Your prices” to see how each changes your profit.
