Why Are Grooming Prices Increasing in 2025?
At Zen Dog Grooming, we always strive to provide the best care for your pets at fair prices. However, due to rising business costs, we must adjust our pricing to continue delivering high-quality services. We want to be transparent with you on why we had to increase our cost.
Here’s a breakdown of the increased costs affecting our business:
Business Expenses Rising in 2025:
📌 Credit Fees – Increased by 2.6% + 0.15 cents per transaction
📌 Payroll Costs – Increased by $10 per month
📌 Rent – Increased by $200 per month
📌 Workers' Comp. Insurance – Increased by $80 per month
📌 Shampoo & Supplies – Increased by $6 per bottle
📌Blades & Supplies - Increased by $5 - $10 a blade
📌 Business Insurance – Increased by $40 per month
📌 Business License - Increased by $15 for the year
📌Phone Line - Increased by $5 a month
How This Affects Pricing
To maintain the same quality of care, cover rising expenses, and ensure we continue operating smoothly, grooming prices will increase slightly.
📍 Example:
Small dogs will see an increase of approximately $5, medium dogs $5–$10, and large dogs $10–$15. The final price will vary based on each dog's unique needs, coat condition, and the time required for their grooming and care.
We appreciate your continued support and understanding. Our goal is to provide the best care for your pups while maintaining a fair and sustainable business.
💙 Thank you for trusting Zen Dog Grooming!
