Cost guide · 2026
Dog grooming websites range from free AI builds to $5,000 custom designs. Here's what each tier delivers — and the cheapest way to start filling your appointment book.
Quick answer
A dog grooming website costs $0–$216/year on AI builders, $400–$1,000/year on hosted builders with booking integration, and $1,500–$5,000 for custom freelance builds.
From cheapest to most expensive — what you get, who it's for, and the realistic total.
$0 – $216/year
Solo groomers, new mobile grooming businesses
$400 – $800/year
Established grooming salons
$1,200 – $4,000 one-time + hosting + booking
Multi-groomer salons, premium positioning
$800 – $2,000/year + setup
Salons wanting all-in-one operations
These line items aren't always quoted up front but they add up fast.
Gingr, MoeGo, Daysmart Pet: $50–$150/mo. Often the largest ongoing cost. Replaces website-only solutions for established salons.
Your phone is fine, but you need to capture before/afters consistently. Free to do, huge impact on bookings.
Booking systems that take deposits cut no-shows dramatically. Square Appointments, Acuity, MoeGo all support this.
Service area maps, postcode coverage tools, and route optimisation add cost only for mobile groomers. Many start without and add later.

Not at first. For solo and small grooming businesses, Calendly + Stripe + AI builder handles it. Gingr/MoeGo become worth it at higher booking volumes.
Critical. Dog grooming is visual — before/after photos close more bookings than any amount of copy. Update it weekly.
Services + breed pricing + booking. Most dog owners check pricing first to qualify themselves before reaching out.
Same structure, different emphasis. Mobile groomers need service area maps and postcode coverage front and centre. Salon groomers emphasise location and parking.
