What it does

You know the feeling. A client books a 'doodle haircut' over DM. They show up with a Bernedoodle you haven't cut since spring, a Pinterest photo of a Maltese, and an expectation of $65. You've got 8 minutes before the next bath. This skill is your back-pocket senior groomer. Give it the breed and the requested cut — it spits out a one-page consultation sheet you can print or read off your phone: realistic blade and comb recommendations, time and price range for your market, the exact 5–8 questions to ask the owner before clippers touch the dog, the upcharges you should be stacking, and the lines to manage Pinterest expectations. It won't let you shave a Husky. It will tell you when 'lion cut on a beagle' isn't a real thing and propose what the owner probably meant. It handles puppy first grooms, senior accommodations, matted pelts, and the awkward 'keep the length but it's pelted' conversation. Built for working groomers. No fluff, no lecturing about ear cleaning. One page, one job, every time.

Frequently asked

Is this a generic 'AI grooming form' or actually breed-specific?
Breed-specific. Goldendoodle teddy bear gets different blade recommendations, problem areas, and upcharges than Shih Tzu puppy cut. The skill knows coat types, which named cuts work on which breeds, and which combinations are impossible.
Can I print the output?
Yes — every sheet renders as a one-page US Letter HTML artifact with print-friendly styling. Open it, hit Cmd/Ctrl+P, done. No images, no colored backgrounds wasting ink.
Will it tell owners I should shave their Husky?
No. Double-coated breeds (Husky, Golden, Pom, Aussie, Corgi, etc.) automatically trigger a COAT DAMAGE WARNING block on the sheet, with language you can show the owner explaining why shaving harms the coat and doesn't cool the dog.
Are the prices accurate for my area?
It uses North American salon averages as a range (e.g. $90–140 for a doodle teddy bear). Treat them as a starting point — your market may run higher (urban coasts) or lower (rural). The upcharge categories and amounts are universally applicable.
Can it handle mixed breeds?
Yes — tell it the mix (or just 'doodle of unknown parentage'), and it will ask which parent coat dominates or pick a sensible default and flag the assumption at the top of the sheet.
Is this veterinary advice?
No. The skill explicitly refuses to give medical advice and routes anything coat-health, skin, or behavioral-medical to 'refer to vet'. It's a professional reference for grooming decisions, not diagnosis.
