Price lists by size alone ignore what actually makes a groom hard: coat type, mats, a pet that won't stand still, and the drive to a mobile client. This tool builds all of it into the price, then shows your real profit and hourly rate before you quote.
Nothing hidden here. You can read how a groom gets priced right now, tab by tab. Pair it with our owner and pet tracker and both sides of the job are covered.

What you get
Two spreadsheet files (.xlsx): one filled with examples so you can see exactly how it works, and a blank copy ready for your business. For Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. No macros, no subscription.
The formulas are locked, so a stray keystroke can't break them. You only type in the yellow cells.
What you need to use it
- Microsoft Excel 2010 or newer, on Windows or Mac, including Microsoft 365
- Or Google Sheets in any web browser, free with a Google account
- A laptop or desktop works best for setup. Phones and tablets are fine for checking numbers and quick entries.

Questions
Can I set my own prices?
Yes. Every price, minute and adjustment lives on the My Rates tab. Nothing is hard-coded.
Does it work for mobile grooming?
Yes. Set How you groom to Mobile or Both, and mobile visits add your drive, setup and van costs.
Is there a blank version?
Yes. Every download has two files: one filled with examples so you can see how everything works, and a blank copy ready for your own business. Your rates and settings come filled in as a starting point, so change them to match yours.
Can I change the formulas?
The gray formula cells are locked so they can't be erased by accident. If you really want to change one, open Review in Excel and choose Unprotect Sheet. There's no password.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets. Everything works the same.
How do Free Lifetime Updates work?
Whenever we release a new version, you can download it free from your account, forever. We'll email you when there's something new.
