Nowadays, more people are raising pets, so naturally this has led to a large number of pet-related industries, among which pet grooming is the most prosperous. I have an Alaskan Malamute at home, and a single pet grooming session costs several hundred yuan, which is really more expensive than when we get a human grooming. So what are the reasons for this? Today, let's talk about why pet grooming is more expensive than human grooming. Let's take a look below.

Why Pet Grooming Is More Expensive Than Human Grooming:

1. When you get a haircut, you won't try to move around, jump, or escape from your seat, but pets love to be active, and the pet groomer can only rely on constant affection and guidance to keep them calm. If the mischievous pet accidentally jumps off the grooming table and gets injured, the pet groomer must bear unlimited joint liability.

2. Your hairdresser does not bathe you, but pet bathing involves scrubbing the entire body. When washing a big dog, the pet groomer definitely gets "wet."

3. Your hairdresser only trims your hair, not the hair on your entire body. Pet grooming requires trimming the hair on all parts of the pet's body.

4. You won't go more than 6 weeks without brushing or washing your hair, nor wait until it is matted before getting a haircut. But when a pet's hair is matted, it causes headaches even for experienced pet groomers.

5. You won't try to bite clippers, scissors, combs, nail clippers, or blow dryers, but curious pets might do any of those things.

6. Your hair won't fly everywhere and stick all over the hairdresser, but after grooming a pet, it's normal for the groomer's nostrils to be full of dog hair.

7. You won't bite or scratch your hairdresser, putting them in danger. However, during pet grooming, facing unfamiliar environments and people, pets lack a sense of security and can be aggressive. Pet groomers must use patience, carefulness, skill, and courage to deal with uncooperative or even bad-tempered pets. Being bitten accidentally is a frequent occurrence.

8. Your hairdresser doesn't have to prepare to clean up your urination or defecation while grooming you, but pet groomers must always be ready for this.

9. Your hairdresser won't trim your fingernails or toenails, but pet groomers take the risk of being bitten while stubbornly trimming all four paws' nails.

10. Your beautician won't clean fleas or other parasites from your body, but pet groomers carefully use fine-tooth combs to groom all the pet's hair and remove fleas and other parasites.

11. You don't need two people to restrain you to trim your nails, but a stubborn pet often requires at least two people to forcibly perform this operation.

12. You won't try to attack your hairdresser, but pets might unexpectedly attack the groomer during grooming.

13. Your hairdresser won't clean eye mucus for you, but cleaning the pet's eyes is a mandatory part of pet grooming.

14. Your hairdresser won't express your anal glands, but pet groomers hold their breath while cleaning the extremely foul-smelling anal gland secretions..

15. Your hairdresser won't clean your ears, but pet groomers clean and maintain ear canals for the pet.

16. Your hairdresser absolutely won't wash your butt, but pet groomers must dry-clean the pet's "behind."

Through this article, I believe everyone now understands why pet grooming is more expensive than human grooming. People unfamiliar with the pet groomer profession might think it is a glamorous job, but in reality, when a pet groomer is taking care of your beloved pet, the complexity of services, various disturbances, risk difficulties, and responsibilities are far beyond those in human hairdressing.
