Nobody in this industry wants to admit how hard it is to find a groomer, so weāll go first. Honestly, weāre still trying to work out whatās wrong with us. š
Our plan this year was to upgrade our grooming facility, and we ended up spending almost RM100k on a room under 2,000 square feet. New bathtub, new dryer, the whole room built from scratch, because we wanted a groomer to walk in and find it comfortable and easy to work in. But we still donāt have a groomer to put in it.
It turns out it isnāt only us, either. We ask every business owner we meet, and some have kept the same groomer for years, some have moved to mobile grooming and started their own centre, and plenty of people learn it and never see it as a career.
Over the years, weāve only managed to hire part-time groomers but they were never sustainable. Neither of us had a choice but to go and learn grooming ourselves, because hiring a full-time groomer turned out to be impossible. So this is us putting ourselves out there that weāre properly looking for a groomer to come and join us.
In is common in the pet service industry to work 6 days a week but not with us. Youād work five days a week here, and one of your days off is always a weekend day. We are doing this full time ourselves and we know itās always impossible to eat lunch on time, and when we did we gobbled it down in seconds. The work takes it out of you, and weekends matter.
Weāve tried to build the job properly too. Everything is on the books with EPF and SOCSO, thereās pet insurance and pet leave, and you can bring your own dog to work with you as long as she meets our requirements. Weāre big believers in constant improvement, so yearly training has always been in our calendar to benefit the individual and the team.
Weāre a loud, fun bunch and weād love you to meet us. We put the team in teamwork here and we play as hard as we work. Ever since forming a team 3 years ago we have travelled to Bangkok, Genting and most recently, Shanghai when we hit our target. Often times as caregivers, we tend to overlook ourselves so knowing when to rest is important!
Finding the right person to join us is as important as finding the right company to
