What You Need to Know before Mobile Pet Grooming Business stated
If you are interested in a mobile pet grooming business, there are some things you should consider before you start.
It’s Not for Everyone
Its not for everyone, You have to work one-on-one with pets in tight conditions,
You’ll be giving up the idea when you compare with a bricks-and-mortar pet grooming store. It has comforts of storage, big space, running water, an easily accessible restroom, and even reliable access to power.
But there’s no need to be disappoint, though! There are lots of mobile groomers and mobile vets out there making it work right now and you can, too! It just takes some research and imagination.
It Requires Special Skills and Knowledge
If you’re not a trained groomer, that’s where you can start. People may crave convenience, but they won’t trade convenience for real skill. So, before you start pricing out conversion vans or unused school buses to convert into your own personal grooming salon on wheels, make sure your skills are on point
Your skills include Pet handling in vehicles or confined spaces they are unfamiliar with.
Additionally, search for mobile groomers who may be interested in sharing insights and information with you or work with you.
How to Get Started
The first step is to invest in a conversion vans or unused school buses. Then change the van or minibus in to pet grooming centre. it should have a water tank, water heater, power generator, sink, cleaning table and some more space to store grooming tools. A mini bus with a capacity of 12-14 people will suffice to meet all these requirements.
