Why Does It Cost So Much?

As part of our business model, we believe in transparency. A question asked frequently is in regards to the cost. What are you paying for when your dog is bathed and groomed! Here we will discuss the overhead expenses verses pricing. The example given will be with our "Light Spa and Full Body Grooming" of a small dog. Keep in mind, the bigger your dog, the more products we have to use, so the higher the cost.
