Need outside opinions

[Texas Ranger]

This is way off topic. I own my own dog grooming business. Its a small home operation. Ive been doing it about 3 years now. The customers are good, and my advertising is fine. No help needed there.

I wanted to get outside opinions on Retail ideas. What would you buy at groomers shop? What does your groomer carry? What would you want to see in a grooming shop? Retail items?

Keep in mind my space is limited. Please give me any of your ideas. I dont know what to sell. And im just one person and one person only has one opinion.

Thanks guys

Dog/cat shampoo, collars, dog/cat toys, flea medicine, dog treats/cat treats, dog and cat food, small dog pens or cat cages, etc. Just a few ideas. Basically anything that has to do with dogs or cats would be great to sell for extra money at your grooming business.

I own a toy poodle and a shih tzu, I would love my groomer to sell pin brushes, combs, eye wipes and a detangler. It would be so much more convenient.

Thanks jessica. Thats the opinions I need. What would people like to see in a grooming shop. Does your groomer sell anything now?

Do you do any home made dog treats

 

[Texas Ranger]

No. I didnt think I would have the time to bake. I bearly have time to keep my house clean. LOL

You are welcome!

No and I always tell them they need to. I would honestly even spend a few dollars more for the convenience and satisfaction to not having to step foot into a chain store.

i think symbiot had the best idea. but i would just say
combes
brushes
shampoo
all different types of toys
those little dog beds
food/ water bowls
all different types of dog food. ex. dry and wet food.
dog bones.
collars.
leashes
as symbiot said, flea medication
treats.
.....
thats all i got
hope this helps.

P.S.- i dont even have a dog.

These are all great ideas, but I have very limited space. My shop is a 10x12 foot building. My living room in my house is bigger than that.LOL. So I just need some super great items. Im not a petsmart. Nore would I ever want to be.

Thanks guys
Keep the ideas comin
