Total Cost approximately: $450 - $500…. About 10 grooming visits to a professional groomer at $45/visit not counting tip…. Estimate your dog gets groomed 6x/year minimum, pays for itself in under 2 years… and if he lives to be 15years old, you will have saved $3600!!!! (At some point in 15 years you’ll need new blades, etc – but I think you get the idea.) And if you get good – maybe you can groom someone else’s dog for them, and actually recoup your equipment expenses over time!
