No, you will not have to make any monthly payments before your Wag’n Tails pet grooming vehicle is ready for delivery. Wag’n Tails understands how important cash flow is when starting a new business or growing an existing business. We typically always have an inventory of vehicles on our lot ready for customization, but it’s best to call 800-513-0304 to inquire about the current lead time and vehicle availability.
All of our pet grooming customers receive a mobile pet grooming business success guide. This guide is a time-tested and proven educational resource that teaches pet groomers how to build a successful mobile business. It includes valuable information ranging from pricing strategy to client scheduling and rebooking best practices, marketing and sales techniques, budgeting, vehicle maintenance, and so much more. Wag’n Tails also provides business consulting services to customers in need of additional support. Our mission is to help mobile pet care professionals be successful, and our customers have an excellent track record of achieving their personal and professional goals.
On average, a mobile pet groomer with a Wag’n Tails vehicle charges between 25-50% more than a pet groomer working in a brick-and-mortar salon. However, the pricing premium could be higher or lower than the average depending on the demographics of your local market. Mobile pet grooming clients are more than willing to pay a premium because mobile services are convenient and time-saving for them and better for their pet(s).
On average, a mobile pet groomer with a Wag’n Tails vehicle grooms about 6 dogs per day. A mobile pet groomer can afford to groom fewer pets daily because a comparable level of revenue can be generated through premium pricing for mobile services. Furthermore, many mobile pet grooming clients have multi-pet households, which helps with both travel efficiency and work productivity and often leads to more meaningful time with pets/parents and improved work-life balance for mobile pet groomers.
This is a lesson that we learned through years of experience. Large commercial vans are designed to carry the loads needed for mobile pet grooming services. They have better suspension than lighter vans and are designed specifically for heavy-duty loads. With the generator and other conversion elements, you need a van that will withstand years of use. One-ton vans are necessary for the durability and longevity of your pet grooming vehicle.
Certainly. Wag’n Tails has designed pet grooming vehicles that we think are both highly efficient and a pleasure to work in. However, no two pet groomers are alike, so changes to many features are available. An extra charge may apply though depending on the customization.
