In today's fast-paced world, pet owners are seeking convenient and reliable solutions to meet their furry companions' grooming needs. Mobile dog grooming has emerged as a popular choice, providing a stress-free and time-saving grooming experience for both pets and their owners. Last year alone, the grooming industry generated a staggering $9.7 billion in revenue, with mobile services playing a significant role in that growth.
Several major markets are already capitalizing on the rapidly emerging mobile-grooming trend. Austin, Texas, for example, recently became the eleventh American city to officially surpass 1 million in population. With approximately 61% of Austin households owning pets, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the demand for convenient pet grooming services in City of the Violet Crown is expected to skyrocket in the coming years.
One dog-loving family in Austin was smart enough to see the writing on the wall! Jenepher Toups and her husband Chad are the proud new owners of Zoomin’ Groomin’ Austin. With its reputation for innovation and excellent service, Zoomin' Groomin' was an easy choice for Jenepher and her family. “We have a passion for dogs and love the level of customer service Zoomin’ Groomin provides pet owners’” Toups said.
In the coming months, Jenepher and her team of highly trained and certified groomers will be deploying a fleet of Zoomin’ Groomin’ vans large enough to service the entire Austin metro. I guess it’s true what they say- everything is bigger in Texas!
Each fully equipped van will include cutting-edge grooming tools, comfortable bathing stations, and a climate control system, providing a safe and stress-free grooming environment for pets. The quick-and-easy nature of offering the service directly in the pet-owners driveway is a no-brainer for the Austin market. Toups said, “We have a dog who gets anxious anytime she leaves the house, so the convenience-factor was a big selling point for us”.
After enjoying a successful career in the medical device industry, Jenepher is looking forward to the new adventure; “I can’t wait to take on this new challenge. I’m excited to meet new people and further ingrain myself into a community that my family and I care deeply about”.
