How Much is the Dog Grooming Industry Worth?

The pet grooming industry has grown at an annualized rate of 4.3% to $9.2 billion over the last five years. Here's how it's projected to keep growing.

Booming & Barking

The U.S. pet grooming industry is growing, despite pandemics and economic downturns. The compounded rise in pet ownership and disposable income has led to more consumer interest in puppy pampering—namely, dog parents prioritizing the care and well-being of their pooches beyond vet visits. Consumers are opting for high-quality food, high-end accessories, and a variety of grooming options to best suit their pets.

Pet groomers must constantly adapt to changing technology to offer exceptional customer services. Factors such as digitalization, e-commerce platforms for booking premium grooming services, and transactional ease associated with online pet services are crucial growth drivers for the pet grooming market. Pet grooming software solutions automate the routine operations of pet grooming salons, which enables them to spend more time on customer service.

The dog grooming industry is changing to suit the needs of the consumer, offering more comprehensive options, mobile services, and more. Pet parents are looking forward and expecting more than the traditional bathe, clip, and cut. The future of the dog grooming industry rests in the hands of businesses that are offering more holistic approaches to doggie health and wellness.

With Scenthound, pet parents can visit the Scenthound website or app, peruse a range of services, and book appointments for their pets all from the comfort of their own homes. And for prospective franchisees, you don’t necessarily need to come into the business already knowing how to become a dog groomer. We will walk you through the process every step of the way.
