The economy is unpredictable right now, is this a safe career to get into?

Even in times of economic uncertainty, the pet industry has demonstrated remarkable resilience. The pet care industry, which includes grooming, has been experiencing consistent growth over the years, and even the most recent economic downturns haven’t been able to slow this trend. Dogs require regular grooming to stay healthy and comfortable, and this ongoing need ensures a continuous demand for grooming services. While other sectors might see cuts in spending, pet owners tend to prioritize spending on their pets’ care. In fact, many pet owners view grooming as an essential service. According to industry reports, people often choose to cut back on their own expenses but continue to spend on their pets, ensuring grooming services remain a high priority. By entering this industry, you're joining a sector that not only survives economic shifts but thrives during them. Dog grooming is a stable industry even in uncertain times.
