Invoice Generator for Pet Groomers
Grooming invoices double as a pet health record — noting breed, weight and coat condition protects you if an owner disputes the result.
How pet groomers should structure their invoices
- Note the breed and weight: pricing is size-based and clients will question a large-dog charge.
- Mat removal is a separate charge because it takes extra time and carries skin-injury risk.
- Health observations (skin, ears, lumps) should be noted and flagged to the owner in writing.
The invoice above already contains the line items most pet groomers bill for. Adjust the rates to your own, delete what does not apply, and add anything specific to your engagement.
What a pet groomer invoice must include
- A unique, sequential invoice number — never reuse or skip numbers.
- Your business name and address, plus your tax or registration number if you have one.
- The client's name and address, and a purchase order reference if they use one.
- Each service on its own line with quantity and rate, so the total is auditable.
- Tax shown separately with the rate, and the total clearly stated.
- Payment terms and the due date — not only in your contract.
Pet Groomers invoicing questions
Should I charge for mat removal?
Yes, per 15 minutes or a flat fee. It is skilled, time-consuming and risky work.
How do I handle aggressive pets?
A handling fee and a right to stop the groom. Both must be stated before the appointment.
What if the owner is late for pickup?
Charge a per-15-minute holding fee. Kennel space is your constraint, not goodwill.
