Here's why:
* Individual Dog Factors:
* Coat type: This is the most important factor. Double coats (like Huskies, German Shepherds) are significantly more time-consuming to groom than single coats (like Labradors).
* Coat length: Long, thick coats require more time and effort to groom.
* Matting/tangles: Severely matted dogs require extra time for dematting, which can be costly.
* Temperament: Some dogs are easier to groom than others. If your dog is nervous or aggressive, it may take longer to groom them safely.
* Size: Larger dogs require more time and product to groom.
* Grooming Services Requested:
* Bath, brush, and nail trim: A basic groom is less expensive than a full groom.
* Full groom: This includes a bath, brush, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing.
* Special services: Dematting, de-shedding treatments, or special haircuts can add to the cost.
* Groomer's Experience and Location: Experienced groomers in high-demand areas may charge more.
Therefore, it's inaccurate to say that dog quotes are given based solely on breed. They are determined based on a combination of factors related to the individual dog and the services requested.
It's always best to contact a groomer directly to discuss your dog's specific needs and get an accurate quote.
