A good price list answers the customer’s question before they ask it and quietly sets expectations about matting, behavior, and extras.
Customers know their dog’s size, not its coat type. Lead with weight bands (small, medium, large, giant) and list bath and full-groom prices for each. Keep breed-specific pricing for the conversation at check-in.
Nail trims, teeth brushing, de-shedding treatments, and paw balm are small decisions customers make at the counter. Listing them with prices sells them for you.
De-matting, flea baths, and behavior surcharges are much easier to charge when they are printed. A line such as “Matting, heavy shedding, and behavior may add to the final price” does most of the work.
Ten to twelve lines is plenty. If your list needs a second page, move rarely booked services into a “Ask us about” line.
Phone, website, or social handle at the bottom. If you take deposits or have a cancellation policy, one short sentence is enough.
A consistent, well-designed list on the wall, at the front desk, and on Instagram signals that your prices are set and professional, which makes customers less likely to haggle.
