How to start your career as a pet groomer

On the face of it, a pet grooming career does sound odd and people will wonder why you selected this off-beat career. Considering the number of people who keep pets, though, it is not altogether a career without any scope. With the right training and skills, you can set up your own pet-grooming business venture.

On the earnings front, as a trainee with a pet grooming salon, you can begin with a pay packet of Rs.7000 to Rs.8000. Once you venture out on your own, you can earn more than Rs.12000. 

First things first: You should not only have a liking for all kinds of animals, but also be able to deal with them patiently. If starting a venture on your own, you should be prepared to invest a large amount in it financially. 

Training to be a pet groomer
While there are some special schools offering pet grooming training programs, you do need to ensure that the teachers are both qualified and experienced in the field. No point in paying hefty fees for poorly qualified faculty. What’s more, it is important to check that the equipment provided is up to quality standards.

Some institutes in India which offer training are:

So if you are looking for an offbeat career related to your love for pets, this is it!
