Looking for a career that is prospering in this depressed economy? Want to know the benefits of becoming a pet groomer?

Here are a few of the reasons why grooming is fun and rewarding:

* The pet grooming industry is growing and expected to continue to grow in this slow economy

* You get to bring your own animal children to work with you
* You get to set your own schedule
* You can work as little or as much as you want to
* You don’t have to get dressed up for work
* You get to stay physically active at work, this is not a desk job
* Every day there is different work to do. This is not a factory job

If you are looking for a great new career in the animal industry, you should give pet grooming serious consideration. The reward of working with cats and dogs every day is beyond words. Transforming a pound mutt into a handsome and desirable house pet is an incredible feeling. It’s great to wake up in the morning happy to go to work and to have the genuine appreciation from those that you work for. How many people are able to have their own pets with them while they make a living? Setting your own schedule and your own pace is one of the benefits of a grooming career. In as little as three months, you can become a certified pet groomer, earning a nice living, sending home freshly groomed dogs to owners that are full of gratitude. Not to mention that the tips you earn are a great bonus.

Pet grooming as a career gets very high ratings. It’s a stable career in any economy. The cost to get into the industry and stay in the industry is low. The tips are great, the pay is great, and the perks are great. Mobile groomers and boutique groomers alike, all say the same thing about pet grooming: Start your day happy and excited, end your day, happy and tired. How many people do you know that say they have a job they love?
