Trenton Times Exposes Surge in Dog Grooming DemandTrenton Times Exposes Surge in Dog Grooming Demand Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Trenton Times has uncovered a significant surge in demand for dog grooming services. As restrictions eased and people returned to their pre-lockdown routines, dog owners found themselves grappling with overgrown and unkempt pets. According to interviews conducted by the Trenton Times, local grooming businesses have reported an unprecedented influx of appointments since the summer of 2022. “We’ve never been so busy,” said Emily Carter, owner of Tail Waggers Grooming Salon. “People are desperate to get their dogs groomed.” The demand has been attributed to several factors, including: * Reduced home grooming: With more people returning to work, there is less time available for home grooming. * Increased dog ownership: The pandemic led to a surge in dog adoptions, further fueling the need for grooming services. * Health and hygiene: As people become more aware of the importance of pet hygiene, they are prioritizing professional grooming. Grooming businesses have had to adapt quickly to meet the increased demand. Some have extended their hours and hired additional staff. Others have invested in new equipment to improve efficiency. Despite the surge, groomers have expressed concern about the affordability of their services for some clients. The Trenton Times found that grooming costs can range from $50 to $200 depending on the size and breed of the dog. “We understand that not everyone can afford our services, but we try our best to accommodate all budgets,” said Maria Rodriguez, owner of Doggie Delights Grooming. “We offer discounts for seniors and low-income families.” The Trenton Times’ investigation into the dog grooming industry highlights the growing importance of pet care in our society. As people spend more time with their furry companions, they are increasingly investing in their health and well-being.
