Services & Pricing
Our regular grooming services are for pets 30lbs and smaller, with the exception of Paw Promo Days!
Our service options can be split into three categories. Full Service Grooming, Specialty Services, and Stand-Alone Services. Excluded Services are listed at the bottom of the page.
Prices are structured to accommodate business expenses, professional experience, and local cost of living. These numbers are different for every business. Here at Retro Rover LLC we do not base our pricing off of fellow businesses and we do not offer price matching or coupons. This policy helps us to maintain our specific needs and stay in business so we can continue providing quality care to our clients. Prices listed are approximate starting prices and subject to change.
Retainer Fee | Charge |
---|---|
Full Service Grooming | $50 |
Stand-Alone Appointment | $30 |
A Retainer Fee is required to book an appointment for each pet. The Retainer Fee is applied to your service total and is non refundable. This fee can be allocated to a future grooming appointment if cancellation or rescheduling is needed. If proper notice is not given to cancel or reschedule an appointment the Retainer Fee is forfeit.
Full Service Grooming
Our Full Service Grooming packages are all inclusive. There is no need to add-on upgraded shampoo, conditioner, or nail filing. It is all in the package.
Specialty Services
Specialty services do not qualify for online booking without a consultation. Your groomer will add these services to your appointment and invoice as needed after consult.
Stand-Alone Services
Stand-Alone Services offer necessary maintenance right to your doorstep without needing to book a Full Service Grooming.
A Travel Fee applies to these services.
*If you are booking multiple pets in your household for Stand-Alone Services this fee only applies once per household per day. If you already have a pet booked for a Full Service Grooming and would like to add a Stand-Alone Service for another pet in the household this fee does not apply.
Excluded Services:
Anal Glands & Ear Hair
Anal Gland Expression and Ear Hair Plucking will only be provided with a written recommendation from your veterinarian and a signed release of liability form at the discretion of your groomer. Whether or not these services fall under Veterinary or Grooming jurisdiction is a legal gray area and has been hotly debated within the Pet Industry and Law which is why we have prerequisites to providing these services.
Ear Hair Plucking in pets with overgrowth can mitigate the frequent occurance of ear infections by increasing air flow and releasing trapped wax and debris. This is not recommended for pets with little ear hair growth and healthy ears as it can cause more irritation than it can prevent.
External Anal Gland Expression can cause tissue damage and make pets dependent on manual expression. Healthy pets do not need help expressing their glands. If a pet needs help then it needs to see a veterinarian. The veterinarian can determine whether continued maintenance can be performed by your groomer.
Please view this Mercola Healthy Pets video on the subject.
Teethbrushing
Teethbrushing is not offered as a standard service. The results of one toothbrushing every month or two is negligible. Teeth should be maintained regularly at home to accomplish any results.
We will however brush the teeth if the client provides their pet's toothpaste and toothbrush from home for their grooming appointment, at no charge, provided the pet is cooperative.
Flea & Tick Bath
Please seek advice and treatment from your veterinarian. To mitigate the risk of infestation clients are highly encouraged to have their pets on a regular flea and tick preventative.
This business is a luxury mobile service with a small workspace that caters to clients on a maintenance schedule. Encountering a pet with a flea infestation in our van would require mandatory down time to treat the van and rescheduling of that days appointments in order to prevent the spread to other clients. This would not be considerate to our other clients or cost effective for our business model.
Pets on our schedule found to have a flea infestation may be subject to an additional fee.
De-Skunking
We do not offer this service due to the shear staying power of Skunk anal gland secretions. It would require too much downtime to rid the van of the smell. Fortunately for us, due to the nature of mobile grooming appointments and the nature of when skunking happens, this is rarely an issue that would fall under our jurisdiction anyway.
