If you are considering starting up a dog grooming business, you will need to determine the type of business you set up.

There are several options available to you:

A dog grooming salon or shop

A dog grooming salon works in a very similar way to a human salon. The customers will visit your salon with their dogs, you will perform any grooming treatments and then the dogs will be collected after their grooming is completed. This is likely to be the most lucrative option and is usually the most successful overall. However, it will also have the highest start-up costs and running costs. Depending on the size of your salon, you could hire employees to enable you to groom more than one dog at a time.

A mobile dog grooming business

You will run your business from a van or trailer and will travel to the dogs’ homes. Your van will act as your salon and will have an in-built grooming table and bathing area and all the products you will need. You will likely need to plug your van into an outlet in your customers’ homes and use their electricity.

An at-home grooming business

You can run your business from your home, as long as you have a dedicated area or room that can act as your grooming area. You will need enough space for all of the equipment and will need to ensure the dogs remain safe while they are at your home. This option has the lowest set-up and running costs, but you will likely have to charge a lower price for your services, meaning your profits will also be lower
