What to Include on a Pet Grooming Invoice

A grooming invoice should name the pet, the base groom, and every add-on: de-matting, de-shedding treatment, nail grind, teeth brushing, flea bath. Add-ons are where grooming margins live, and listing them separately teaches clients what the full-service price actually buys.

Include your business details, the client's name, the pet's name and breed or size class, a unique invoice number, the appointment date, and payment terms. For mobile grooming, the travel or van fee is its own line, not buried in the groom price.

Common Pet Grooming Pricing Structures

Grooming prices by size, coat, and condition:

  • Base grooms: small dogs $40–$75, large dogs $75–$150, cats $50–$100. Full grooms (bath, cut, nails, ears) at the top of the range; bath-and-brush below it.
  • Add-ons: de-matting $10–$30 (per 15 minutes for severe cases), de-shedding treatment $15–$40, nail grind $10–$25, teeth brushing $10–$15, flea and tick bath $15–$35.
  • Mobile premium: $20–$40 above shop pricing. Convenience is the product; price it.

Coat condition beats breed in pricing. A matted doodle takes twice the table time of a maintained one, and your matting policy (rate and cap) belongs in writing.

Tips for Getting Paid on Time

Steady cash flow keeps the business alive. A few habits make the difference:

  • Card on file for mobile routes. Charge on completion at the curb. Chasing $85 across town wrecks route economics.
  • No-show fees for standing slots. 50% for appointments missed without 24 hours notice. Your table time is inventory.
  • Rebook before they leave. A 6-week standing appointment paid by card on file is a subscription in everything but name.
  • Photograph the matting. Before-and-after photos justify the de-matting line and end disputes instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a pet grooming invoice include?

Your business details, the client's name, the pet's name and size or breed, a unique invoice number, the appointment date, the base groom, each add-on service (de-matting, de-shedding, nail grind, flea bath), mobile travel fee if applicable, the total, and payment terms.

How much should a dog groom cost?

Base grooms commonly run $40–$75 for small dogs and $75–$150 for large breeds, with cats at $50–$100. Coat condition moves the price more than breed: severe matting adds $10–$30 per 15 minutes of extra table time. Mobile grooming runs $20–$40 above shop prices.

Should groomers charge extra for matted coats?

Yes, with a stated policy: a de-matting fee ($10–$30, or timed for severe cases) and a humanity cap where you shave rather than torture the dog. Photograph the coat before working. The fee compensates real time and protects the animal.
