Make/Save Money Dog Grooming

My sister-in-law is a dog lover. She has always owned several dogs at any one time. She recently had three Shitzus and a German Shepherd. She never seems to mind that the dogs require a great deal of care and attention. I suppose you could say dogs are her hobby.

Of course all pets cost money to keep. Food, veterinary care, pet accessories, the occasional kennelling, don't come cheap. And grooming time seems to come round all too often. She found she was paying a small fortune in cash to a local dog groomer to keep the dogs looking good and caring for their health and well-being.

At a difficult time, when it was hard to find the money for regular grooming, she looked around for alternatives. After making enquiries she decided to get some books on pet care and grooming and eventually enrolled on a dog grooming course. Fortunately she had her own dogs to practise on and found she saved so much money the course paid for itself many times over.

Friends, particularly other dog lovers, admired her pets and someone pleaded with her to groom his dog and offered to pay the going rate. She found herself drifting into becoming a professional dog groomer as word got round that she was very good and was happy to do home visits at a time that suited the client.

Her husband built her a grooming shed at the bottom of their garden and she set up in business, advertising in local papers and shop boards. She now also has a simple website which also brings in work, and is earning a lot more money than she was paid in a regular job.

Nowadays the family spend most of their time in Spain where she still earns a good living grooming dogs and every couple of months she travels back to the UK where her long list of clients are happy to give her their dog grooming business.

If you have dogs and could use some extra cash, why not consider learning how to groom them yourself and possibly offer your services to other pet owners.
