Mobile groomers invest in a large van or truck to transport their equipment from place to place. Many mobile groomers will bring the dogs into their van where they have a mini salon set up. Others may bring equipment into their clients\u2019 homes to groom the dog in a more familiar environment. However, this latter scenario is rare as it makes clean up and sanitation difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile grooming can be beneficial for both you and your clients! It sounds like a pretty great gig, right? But don\u2019t just rush out to invest in a pricey vehicle and equipment for your mobile salon without knowing all the facts! Let\u2019s weigh the pros and cons of mobile grooming so you can decide if it\u2019s for you.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8380&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Pros\"><\/span>The Pros<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Cost-effectiveness<\/h3>\n<p>When you start your mobile grooming career, you\u2019ll need to either convert a vehicle you already own or purchase a new one with everything you need. It can be extremely expensive up front, but remember that this is a one-time cost. Since you won\u2019t be paying rent for a salon, it\u2019s worth it! For the first little while, you\u2019ll be working to pay off the vehicle. But putting money from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/06\/invest-pet-groomer-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dog grooming salary<\/a> back into your business is a great place to invest it!<\/p>\n<h3>Convenience<\/h3>\n<p>Being a mobile groomer can be convenient for both you <em>and<\/em> your clients. You\u2019re travelling to your clients, which will set you apart from typical salon groomers. You may think that having a small space would mean not having enough room to groom. But when you need to work with what you\u2019ve got, you\u2019ll find yourself becoming more creative with your how you organize your workspace. You\u2019ll find space-saving ways to neatly stow away your equipment in your vehicle. Clean up is relatively simple, and you\u2019ll always be able to find what you need because your area of search is small.<\/p>\n<h3>Ability to Reach More Clients<\/h3>\n<p>Because of your mobile flexibility, you\u2019ll be able to reach a larger number of clients. Though travel time will take up parts of your day, you\u2019ll be able to provide services to a wider clientele. For example, people who can\u2019t leave their home often due to disabilities, old age, etc., will call on your services. Plus, anyone who just doesn\u2019t want to drive their dog to a grooming salon every few weeks will come knocking at your (car) door! Mobile grooming is a great option for groomers in small towns that are far from large commercial areas.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8381&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Less-stressed Canine Clients<\/h3>\n<p>As a certified dog groomer, you know that many dogs can get overwhelmed and anxious when visiting the groomer. By travelling to their home environment, they\u2019ll likely be a lot more comfortable! Additionally, you\u2019ll likely only groom one dog at a time. This will limit distractions and stress for the dog, and, therefore, make your job easier, too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cons\"><\/span>The Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Limited Space<\/h3>\n<p>Between driving and grooming dogs in your vehicle, you\u2019ll be spending a lot of time in a small space. Having a smaller space also means limiting the equipment you have. You won\u2019t have much room to carry spare instruments or a wide variety of them. Once you get good at what you do, and accrue a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2018\/08\/your-career-as-a-dog-groomer-getting-loyal-long-term-clients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">loyal list of clientele<\/a>, you\u2019ll know exactly how to customize your vehicle for the day. Swapping out equipment once you know what to expect is the mark of an experienced groomer. Regardless, deciding if you\u2019re comfortable with a small work environment is possibly the biggest consideration to make when considering mobile grooming.<\/p>\n<h3>Less Opportunity for Business Expansion<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, running a mobile grooming business makes it hard to expand. Hiring employees, offering special services, or selling additional products are often off the table or expensive to do. For example, you can only fit one groomer in a van. So in order to hire employees, you\u2019d need to invest in more vehicles! If you only want a small business or are willing to put lots of money into expanding, this may not be a problem.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;8384&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243;][vc_column enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Travel &amp; Maintenance Considerations<\/h3>\n<p>Although cost-effectiveness is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/09\/5-perks-becoming-mobile-dog-groomer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advantage of mobile grooming<\/a>, there are still costs you wouldn\u2019t have to deal with when working in a salon or from home. The cost of gas, vehicle maintenance, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doggroomingcourse.com\/2017\/10\/insurance-dog-groomers-need-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">insurance<\/a> are at the top of the list.<\/p>\n<h3>Potentially Long Hours<\/h3>\n<p>Since you have to add travel time to the time it takes to groom your canine clients, you\u2019ll likely work longer hours to groom the same number of dogs in a day that someone in a salon would. Mobile grooming also means working at strange times (such as evenings or weekends) to meet the needs of your clients.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column_text]Can you think of other pros or cons of running a mobile grooming business?
