Sample Grooming Prices With the Variables Made Clear
GroomAI Demo Salon uses transparent starting prices in Canadian dollars: full dog grooms from $80, cat bath and comb-out from $110, and standalone nail trims from $20. These figures are fictional examples, not quotes or offers from a real salon.
A 25% deposit may appear in Stripe test mode. No real card is charged.

What affects the final cost
Time and Handling Drive More Than the Size Label
Two pets in the same size category can need very different appointments. A well-maintained coat and a straightforward trim may fit the starting price, while compacted undercoat, matting or added handling time can change the quote.
- Size and weight: larger pets generally need more product, drying and handling time.
- Coat type and density: double coats, curls and long coats can require different preparation.
- Coat condition: tangles, impacted shedding and matting add careful labour.
- Behaviour and comfort: breaks, slower handling or an extra person may change timing.
- Requested finish: detailed scissoring or a major coat change may require more work.
- Late arrival or pickup: sample policies can include fees when timing affects the salon schedule.

Pricing questions
Before You Rely on a Starting Price
Why are the prices listed as “from” amounts?
Grooming cost depends on the individual pet and the time required. Starting prices give a useful comparison point without pretending that size alone determines the work.
Is matting included in the starting price?
Routine brushing is included in the sample full groom, but extensive dematting or a major coat correction can add time and change the final price or service plan.
Will I be charged a real deposit?
No. Any deposit shown on this site is part of a test-mode demonstration. It does not authorize a real charge.
Are taxes included?
The sitemap does not provide a tax treatment, so the demo does not promise that taxes are included or excluded. A real salon should show applicable taxes clearly before payment.
