Do you want to know how to start your own DOG WASH BUSINESS? This blog will take you step by step through the process and give you hints, tips and industry pitfalls! Each new post will address one of the major area's listed below!

About the Author: Ingrid Sutton has been in the industry for 15 years! She has been in contact with hundreds of different shop owners giving her insights to what works and what doesn't. She has owned three dog washes, manufactured supplies, invented products and is she is now sharing this information to help others build fun, successful and prosperous businesses!

The one thing she always disliked was the animosity she felt from other businesses. She always knew there was enough business to go around and being cooperative and helpful to others makes both businesses stronger. She dedicates this blog to Laurie, the one groomer in town that always had kind words for a young business woman starting her first business. She hopes this blog will be just that ... a reference, a resource and a place to learn and share with others.
