Pris sammenligning ... Price Comparison

Albert havde en aftale hos Hundfrisør i morges og hver gang jeg tager ham, tænker jeg på hvor forskellig "hundfrisør" priserne er i Amerika og Danmark. Selvfølgelig er Albert ligesom mit barn så ingen pris er for høj--- :o) Men jeg kan ikke forstå hvorfor en hundeklip koster SÅ MEGET MERE i Danmark! (Hvor meget kan saks, vand, sæbe og en barberkniv koster?)

Albert had an appointment at the groomer this morning and each time I take him, I think about how different the groomer prices are in America and Denmark. Of course Albert is like my child so no price is too high... :o) But I cannot understand how a dog haircut costs SO MUCH MORE in Denmark! (How much can scissors, water, soap and a razor cost?)


I Amerika, havde Albert 2 forskellige frisører---Hans første kørte til vores hus i hendes "frisørvogn" hvor hun vaskede og klippede ham og det kostede 50 US dollars (ca. 250kr). Efter hun havde en operation, havde vi brug for at finde anden. Vores nye frisør havde en butik (i stedet for en frisørvogn) så kørte jeg Albert til ham hver fire uger og det kostede 40 US dollars (ca. 200kr.).

In America Albert had 2 different groomers--His first drove to our house in her "Groomer´s Van" where she washed and clipped him and it cost about $50 (about 250kroner). After she had an operation, we had to find another groomer. Our new guy had a shop (instead of a van) so I drove Albert to him every four weeks and it cost about $40 (about 200 kroner).

Efter vi flyttede til Danmark søgte Mads for en god hundefrisør i det Herning område. Den første at han fandt var DÅRLIG og stakkels Albert lignede skrækkelig efter han var der! Vi fandt anden i Tjørring men hun var fuldt....men vi har hørt at hun var den bedste i det Herning område så Mads ringede til hende 2 gange og spurgte hende SÅ SØDT at tage ham....Hun sagde OK, EN MERE HUND! Hun er så dygtig og Albert kan lidt at blive klippet der.

After we moved to Denmark Mads searched for a good groomer in the Herning area. The first one he found was AWFUL and poor Albert looked terrible after he was there! We found another in Tjørring (just 5 minutes from Herning), but she was full.... but we had heard she was the best in the area, so Mads called her two different times and asked her SO SWEETLY to take him... She said OK, ONE MORE DOG! She is so good and Albert really likes to be groomed there with her.

Begge to--den dårlige frisør og den dygtige frisør koster samme--- 450 kroner (about 90 US dollars) og jeg har lærte at dette er en normal pris her! Nu besøger Albert frisøren hver FEM uger (i stedet for 4) og han ser godt ud.... alle for kun 450kr!

Both--the awful groomer and the great groomer cost the same--450 kroner (about $90) and I have since learned that is the normal rate here! So now Albert goes to the grommer every FIVE weeks (instead of 4) and he looks so handsome.... all for just $90!
