I came across this blurb and thought it
was indicative of the trend of upscale pet owners to go to expensive extremes
when it comes to their dogs. I'll do
just about anything for my doggies, but I'm really not sure that they care one
way or another about spa treatments and other modalities mentioned in the
excerpt below. Music therapy for
pooches? Maybe.....

Bear in mind, many grooming salons these
days don't operate the same way as those from the 80's or 90's. Then, groomers
would just groom the dogs and the job is complete. Nowadays many grooming
salons offer spa treatments and rejuvenation and music therapy for pampered
pooches. These luxury sessions are not cheap. If you operate an upscale
grooming salon in urban areas (i.e. Tokyo or New York), your customers are
expected to pay anywhere from $100 to $200 for a complete doggie
"makeover." I kid you not!
With so many dog owners who are willing
to spend obscene money on their furry children, it's no wonder many aspiring
groomers jump into this bandwagon. I'm not saying money brings all evil
intentions; just some will value money over passion.
