Often pet owners ask the question: “Why such a price for grooming?” or even: “Why can’t you cut my dog for less?”. These questions are quite natural, because at first glance the procedure may seem simple. However, grooming is a whole range of services aimed at ensuring the comfort, health and beauty of your Pet. To answer these questions and dispel myths, we have prepared a detailed article where we will explain what the price of grooming consists of. You will learn why professional care is worth the money, and you will understand that behind every hryvnia there is responsibility, experience and care for your animal.
Professionalism of masters
The first and most important factor is the qualifications of the groomer. Grooming is, in addition to working with wool, also attention to every detail, from claw trimming to ear care. Experienced masters undergo training, attend specialized courses and seminars to stay abreast of new techniques and trends. Their professionalism ensures the safety and comfort of your pet, and that comes at a price.
Use of quality materials
Grooming salons that care about the health of animals use only high-quality, hypoallergenic shampoos, creams, perfumes, balms and other products for the care of fur, milestones, paws, eyes, and so on. These materials are all necessary and adapted to different types of wool and skin, which prevents irritation and allergic reactions. The high quality of products is an additional guarantee of care, but it also affects the overall cost of services.
Difficulty of work
Each breed has its own characteristics, which the groomer takes into account during work. Large dogs, for example, require more time and effort due to their voluminous fur. Ornamental breeds such as Yorkies or Maltipoos require fine work, including creating model hairstyles. It is also important to take into account the condition of the wool: tangled piles or heavily soiled wool increase the working time and, therefore, the price.
Equipment and tools
Grooming salons use professional tools: clippers, scissors, hair dryer with temperature control, special tables and baths. This is expensive equipment that requires regular maintenance and replacement. For example, grooming scissors can cost hundreds of dollars, and their quality directly affects the result of the haircut. In addition, even scissors need to be sharpened regularly.
Additional services
The price of grooming also depends on the list of procedures. The standard complex includes bathing, drying, combing, cutting and trimming of claws. However, many owners opt for additional services such as teeth cleaning, ear care, spa services or deworming. Each of these services adds value to the total check.
Salon location
The location of the salon also affects pricing. In large cities such as Kyiv or Lviv, prices may be higher due to more expensive rent and higher operating costs. In highly competitive areas, the price may be slightly lower, but the quality of service is not always up to expectations.
Comfort and interior conditions
Modern grooming salons offer comfort not only for the animal, but also for its owner. Spacious premises, a waiting area, video surveillance of the grooming process – all this affects the cost. If the salon cares about disinfection, sterility and cleanliness, this also increases maintenance costs.
Insurance and liability
Some grooming salons have customer liability insurance. This is an additional level of protection that includes compensation in case of injury to the animal or other unforeseen situations. Insurance is a sign of reliability, but also an additional factor in price formation.
