This fuzzy boy is always getting matted fur. If only there was a cat grooming service he could go to!
This was a new idea to me. Alyssa McCleery from Newkirk, Oklahoma, brought this up. She has local dog grooming but had to drive hours to find a place to get her cat groomed.
I was skeptical at first, but why not cat grooming as a service?
Just trimming cat claws can be a challenge. Not to mention those longhair cats who get matted and tangled fur.
The Groomer to Groomer website has plenty of articles on grooming cats as a business.
Seems like a perfect mobile business for rural areas. Show up in a van or trailer, do grooming on site and cover as much territory as you choose.
There is an economic development benefit. When someone has to drive out of town, maybe hours away, to get their pet groomed, they are going to be shopping and spending money while they wait. Better to have that service provided in town, maybe even in home, and avoid the extra out-of-town spending.
