How to Save Money When Grooming Your Pets

Most pet owners have to deal with taking our pets in to be groomed. There is just something wonderful about the smell of a cleanly groomed pet. However, at full price — grooming your pet can be expensive. You have to learn to balance your love for having a clean pet with having money in your wallet. Here are several ways to save money when grooming your pets.

Have your pet’s groomed less often?

This really depends on the type of dog you have, but not all pets need groomed every month. When it comes to saving money and having your pet groomed, you can stretch out the appointments a little bit. Talk to your groomer to see what they think about you having your pet groomed less often.

Go to a groomer that is less expensive.

Depending on what you like, it may make sense to find a groomer that fits within your budget. Maybe even grabbing a Petsmart Grooming Coupon from PromoPro.com is an option. With a coupon, it’s a lot easier to be able to afford to get your pet groomed more often.

Bath your pet yourself.

If you are really tight on money but need to have your pet groomed, give your pet a bath yourself. While I realize this may be hard for some people, it is a way to save money. Check your local car washes; they often have pet bathing stations for pet owners such as truck drivers. It is actually pretty easy to bath them in there! Not all dogs like baths either, so this may be a stretch, but it is also worth a try!

Brush your pet’s fur often.

Another way you can save money when grooming your pets is to brush your pet’s fur often. If you have a pet that has long hair, make sure you brush it quite often to keep tangles out. Short haired dogs do not need brushed as often, but they would probably love it anyway.

Become a pet groomer.

If you have a slew of animals yourself, it may make sense to become a pet groomer. It’s not very hard to become a pet groomer and you can save a ton of money grooming your own pets. You never know, this may actually be something you enjoy doing and will be able to make extra money from.

Saving money when grooming your pets isn’t that hard, you just have to make it work. What tips would you add to this list?
