Billing Scenarios for Pet Groomers

How to label charges so every invoice makes sense the moment your clients see it.

1.
Dematting charge; Condition surcharge
Coat is severely matted after check-in.
Extra time, tools, and risk require a separate charge.
2.
Flea treatment; Sanitation fee
Fleas are found during the bath.
Treatment and cleanup add cost beyond the base groom.
3.
Double-coat upcharge; Extra time
Double-coat or giant breed needs more drying and brushing.
Larger coats take longer, so the price scales with effort.
4.
Mobile trip fee; Mileage
Mobile appointment at the client’s home.
Subtract the deposit on the invoice and show the new balance with the payment due date.
5.
Handling/safety fee; Special handling
Pet shows aggressive or anxious behavior.
Extra staff time and safety gear add real cost.
6.
Late cancellation fee; No-show charge

Pet Groomers Invoice FAQs

Real-world grooming charges for baths, breed cuts, deshedding, flea dips, mobile trip fees, late pickups, and tax. Concrete line items, clean terms, clear answers.

How should I price a full groom for double-coat breeds?

Use a base package plus a deshed add-on by coat length and weight. Example: “Full Groom – Husky 75.00” and “Deshedding Add-on 30.00.”

What line items cover severe matting or pelt removal?

Add a timed dematting fee or a flat shave-down charge with a note. Example: “Pelt Removal 45.00” and “Dematting Time 20 min 25.00.”

How do I bill for a flea or tick treatment when I discover it at check-in?

Pause service and get approval, then add treatment and sanitation. Example: “Flea Bath 22.00” and “Sanitation Fee 10.00.”

Use a zone-based trip fee plus onsite time if needed. Example: “Mobile Trip Fee Zone B 15.00” and “Setup/Breakdown 10.00.”

List the deposit as a payment received and apply it to the balance. Add no-show or late cancel as its own line. Example: “Deposit – Holiday Booking −25.00” and “Late Cancel Fee 35.00.” Use the Pet Groomers Invoice Template to keep this consistent.
