This posts explains why we charge what we charge to keep a float.
With recent news of another groomer closing due to cash flow, its important we get our prices right to cover our overheads.
Running a business as a dog groomer is hard, but without you all, I would not be where I am, approaching my 4th year, running a business.
Thank you all, for trusting me with your Fur babies 💕🐕🐾
