Bit of a change of pace for me this week swapping my scissors to be back on the end of a lead! Didn't realise how much I had missed it!

Client 🤑 "Why should I tip my dog groomer ? If they wanted more money they should just charge more! "
✂️🙋 Pet groomer *raises prices because the price of doing business increases*
Client: 😲 "how dare they want to turn a profit !"

🧐 Are we living in the same economy, bebs?

Things your pet groomer is (probably) responsible for as an EMPLOYEE :
- their equipment and maintenance of equipment
*Clippers can cost between $200 for corded and $600 for cordless. Repairing them costs $75 to $100 when your dog kicks them out of our hands.
* Blades cost about $35 each. There are 7 common blade lengths we need (40, 30, 10, 7f, 5f, 4f, 3) an attachment comb kit with metal teeth of different lengths cost about $75 to $100 as well.
*Scissors: we need thinners, straights and curves but the average pet groomer has about 8 pairs of scissors for different needs. Each pair can cost anywhere from $200 to $900 for name brand, Japanese steel. A sharpener who's no good at their job is all it takes for our equipment to be ruined PERMANENTLY and have to be replaced (this has happened to me twice 😭 only send one pair with a new person ok? It's worth the extra shipping)
*Of course we have brushes for getting matting out these can cost $20 to $100 depending on brand. I lost count of how many combs and brushes are in my collection but we need tools for EVERY coat type.
*Blade oil, quick stop, ear cleaner, ear powder, blade disinfectant, perfume, belly loops to make them stand, special nooses like a harness called the "trach-saver", hemostats, things to organize our things, aprons, scrubs, chiropractor appointments, alllll the lotion and bandaids for our aching hands, fatigue mats (yeah my work doesn't even supply those for us- I even bought one to put on my table for the dogs So they can be comfy too) cotton balls, baby wipes.... These are all things that I am personally responsible for supplying at my job.

Startup cost = approx $1,400 to $2k
Annual maintenance (sharpening on a 4wk schedule rotating tools) = $850 to 1,000 including TIPS FOR THE SHARPENER, and the occasional replacement of smaller tools and blades.

*SCHOOLING: around 12k in my area is what it costs for a formal introduction to this industry. That price does INCLUDE TOOLS I am told.

Don't even get me started on the cost of running your own business....
