Free cat-owner tool
Compare two cat grooming quotes
Compare the total and amount due—not just the advertised starting price.
Use quotes you actually received
This is arithmetic, not a market-price estimate. Enter each business’s base quote and known extras, including a mobile travel fee if applicable. Enter the tax rate the business tells you to use. Blank optional amounts are treated as zero, so an unconfirmed fee can make the displayed total incomplete.
A deposit is usually part of the price
The deposit field here means money already paid toward the quoted total. It reduces the remaining balance; it is not added as a second service fee. If a business charges a separate non-creditable booking fee, include that under extras instead. Confirm the business’s terms.
Lower cost is not automatically better value
A bath and brush, a haircut, and treatment of extensive matting are different scopes. Compare package inclusions, appointment setting, and stop conditions before acting on a difference in totals. Tips are optional and are excluded from this comparison.
