Free Pet Groomer Quote Template
Pet groomers quote because breed, coat condition, and dog size drive pricing significantly. A Labrador full groom costs very differently from a large doodle with matted fur. A written quote prevents disputes when a straightforward appointment turns into a two-hour de-matting session.

What should a pet groomer put on a quote?
A pet grooming quote sets out the planned groom and the price before the appointment, such as a full groom with add-ons. List the groom, nail and ear care, and any de-matting, and note that coat condition can change the time. The figure stays an estimate until the owner accepts it.
Typical line items
- Full groom (bath, dry, cut, brush out)
- Nail trim and ear clean (add-on)
- De-matting treatment (per 30 minutes)
- Breed-specific styling
- Flea or medicated shampoo treatment
- Anal gland expression (add-on)
- Difficult or aggressive handling surcharge
- Estimated time by coat condition
How the work is charged
Pet groomers usually quote a fixed price by breed and coat, with add-ons itemised and de-matting charged by time. The figure assumes a coat condition that can shift the work.
Payment terms and deposits
A quote often asks for payment on collection, sometimes with a deposit to book a longer appointment. The price holds for a stated period and is an estimate until accepted, so note what heavy matting would add.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, show it as a separate line with your registration number. Confirm the tax treatment that applies to grooming services where you work.
Frequently asked questions
How much does dog grooming cost?
A full groom for a small breed dog costs €40 to €70. Medium breeds cost €55 to €90. Large or double-coated breeds cost €70 to €130. Doodles and heavily coated breeds cost more due to drying time. Add-on services like teeth cleaning (€10 to €25), de-shedding treatment (€20 to €40), or anal gland expression (€10 to €15) should be listed separately.
What is a de-matting surcharge?
De-matting is time-intensive work that adds to the grooming session. Most groomers charge €20 to €50 per 30 minutes of de-matting beyond what's included in the standard groom. Severe matting may require a shave-down, which is a different service. Inform clients of this possibility in the quote.
What cancellation policy should a pet groomer quote include?
A 24 to 48 hour cancellation policy is standard. No-shows are typically charged the full groom rate or lose a prepaid deposit. Repeat no-shows can result in being removed from the booking list. State this in your quote confirmation so clients understand the policy before their first appointment.
