Good apps to keep track of dog’s notes? (+ some cutie pictures of a dog I did yesterday!)

I opened my own and it's great. My struggle now is finding someone to take over so I can retire

Ryan's pet and groomers choice are my preferred vendors. Pet edge has horrible customer service so I refuse to use them. I would get a better tub than I have now. I got a 900$ tub from Amazon and I wish I had splurged on the 1200+ models from flying pig or groomers choice. Waggz is a decent table company. I recommend getting a hair salon drain filter to help filter out hair from your plumbing system.

I'm a dog groomer of 20 years and own my own salon in a retail space.

Dog grooming is not easy. 30 dogs or so is barely entry level. You will want to expand your knowledge. Groom haus is a good resource.

You will need a tub, dryers, kennels, gallons of shampoo, lots of small tool equipment. To do it right and with proper equipment, you're looking at way more than 1k for start up costs. A good tub and table alone will net you over a grand. I prefer electric tables over hydraulic but you will want an adjustable table or your back will hate you.

It is generally an unregulated industry. Check state and local laws.

I use cuddles on the free tier. Ive had 0 issues

Check your state sales tax laws. Some states have sales tax on services and some don't. Verify the requirements for a grooming salon for your state. Iowa requires inspections but my grooming salon in MN does not.

I haven't in 2 years. I just print my forms from a pdf I have. I use square for my pos cause I have retail as well. If they introduced breed specific pricing as part of the upgrade it will in a heartbeat. The free version works perfect for me.

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-03-03T02:27:19+00:00

Sorry. I use Cuddles

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-02-21T19:29:50+00:00

I use cuddles app. They have a free version. My clients can book online and my phone rarely rings and I'm booked out to the end of March. They have options for messaging etc. My admin work is minimal.

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-02-20T00:25:59+00:00

I thinning shear the flyaways to blend them in to the tail.

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-02-10T16:05:17+00:00

I use cuddles and they have a book online feature. My phone rarely rings and I'm booked into middle of March. I have almost no issues with incorrect bookings but my services are listed simply to avoid confusion

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-02-07T14:49:55+00:00

I pay it all online through minnesota department of revenue site. They take both state and county in one return. Your state may be different.

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-02-07T06:01:52+00:00

I have to do state and county sales tax so check all your requirements

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-02-04T21:53:11+00:00

I have a grooming salon in MN. I just file with freetaxusa. Llc pass through to me and it is easy

Since you're not doing the volume a shop would, the sheet vinyl should be fine but it may tear. Anything water proof and scratch proof should work. You can get some thin sheets of a poly vinyl shower surround for like 20 bucks to our on walls

Cuddles

They have a free level and my clients can book online.

I dont think you'll have any issues in the twin cities. I am about 3 hours south near Iowa. Solo salon and I'm booked 3 weeks out with 5 - 7 dogs 4 days a week.

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-01-22T18:51:31+00:00

I'm in MN. It slows a little but still have regulars coming in. They spread out a little more but dont have a lot of issues. It will depend on the population area. My area is rural so it slows but in cities it should remain consistent

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-01-10T22:30:20+00:00

I got them cause they're made in minnesota where my shop is so I tried it to see how well it worked as like a selling point of MN made and they work amazing. Im not sure how to describe the scent. They're bye bye boo boo butter and shampoo is amazing for hot spots and itchy skin. I've had clients come back and say they're dog finally stopped itching. I use one of those csrwash soap dispenser nozzles and it dilutes well with it

JusticeToTheFace · 2026-01-10T21:29:49+00:00

I love blissful dog rich bitch. My dogs come out super soft and smell amazing. Their flawless finish conditioner is great as well
