How Bath & Brush Pricing Really Works
Bath & Brush is mid-pack (#4 of 8 by medium-dog midpoint, ~$45). Treat the size table as a booking check, not a salon quote - local labor and add-ons move the same nominal service by tens of dollars.
Among the services tracked here, Flea Bath & Treatment sits nearest in price to bath & brush (about $0 apart on the medium-dog midpoint); a booking runs about 7 minutes shorter than Flea Bath & Treatment's typical visit. Use that pairing as a sanity check when comparing salon quotes.
- Multiply the size-band midpoint by the visits/year above - owners usually underestimate the life-of-dog total, not the first visit.
- Confirm inclusions before comparing mid-pack quotes; overhead and experience bend each size band without changing the service name.
