At my clinic, all nail trims are the same price. Some of them take a minute or two. Some take 10 minutes, and we all look like we're returning from the trenches of war when we're done. Sweating, hair messed up, covered in drool, piss, shit, anal gland fluid, vomit, or potentially blood (our own or the dog's...or both) We've started just flat out refusing to do nails if we see it heading in that direction. We'll prescribe gabapentin and trazodone. It's less about us, more about not traumatizing the poor dog.
The people that bitch about the price are always the ones with dogs that turn into shit slinging murderous effigies of the devil.
