I Bring In $1.3 Million A Year As A Dog Grooming Artist

[@elephantintheroom5678]

Artists should NEVER FORGET how much art contributes to human happiness. It's so easy for them to feel that what they do is unimportant - but imagine the dreariness of a world completely devoid of all forms of art...

It's so fantastic to see a person be able to break the cycle of poverty & addiction such as what he grew up around as a kid. Very happy this man was able to bring his vision for his business to life. I can say 150K a year is a fairly humble salary he pays himself with him living in San Diego. It's a very expensive part of Cali to live in but so beautiful. Smart not being too far from people that are wealthy enough to afford the more expensive grooming.He'll really be bringing in more $ if he opens that 2nd location. It's where the $$$ is at.

[@angelrose1714]

It surprises me how many people dont knoe that the dye he is using is pet friendly so its safe for dogs. Also i dont see this as animal abuse the dogs seem happy at the end. Non of the dogs seem worried, scared, frighten or any of that

Videos like these never specify upfront if the 1.3 million is the revenue or net income. You have to watch the whole video to know. So his dog grooming business brought in a total revenue of 1.3 million dollar of which he has to pay taxes, rent, workers, products he uses etc etc. His actual income is a salary of 150k which he paid himself. The rest like mentioned before goes back into the business and to paying taxes, rent, workers, products etc.

[@aakankshasinha4438]

Whenever it says "brings in" it's revenue

[@linedanzer4302]

Okay. You done?

[@CutePuppy520]

It’s revenue... 1.3 million in revenue is actually a huge sum for a dog grooming saloon The money he has taken out from all the business is 150k, but, that doesn’t mean the saloon only has a net profit of 150k, business owners who are looking to grow their business will always leave maybe half of the profit to be kept within the business

[@EastMilk]

I mean, it's simple logic. Let's say 1.3 million was indeed net income, then there must be the bigger number of total revenue, say, $4.6 million. So why not just title the video with "4.6 million" to attract more viewers? Because 1.3 million is already the highest number they could use for the title, which is total revenue.

[@jeleahswan4973]

Duhhhhh.That’s what his business makes.The title says what he brings in

[@californiadreamer2580]

Some dogs absolutely love the process. Most modern dog breeds already have fur that was " designed" by humans. Very few dog breeds have an ancestral wolf coat.

This is dog safe dye. And humans have been "designing" dog breeds for centuries. Especially now with all the expensive Doodle mutts, that are crazy and neurotic.

He’s really a great artist for this kind of work. The lion doodle, giraffe, leopard pug, all are fabulous, and he’s very gentle. The dogs love him, he’s a sweetheart. If the owners do this one time for a special occasion, even though I would never do that to my dog, I can see it, just once. But no one should be subjecting their pets to this kind of “grooming” on a regular basis. That would be a form of abuse.

[@nuancematters]

@@TheNomad8899 The only reason someone would want this done to their dog is so that they can get likes on social media and have people pay them attention. It's a sad sign of the times where people will use their pets for attention and treat them as if they're fashion accessories rather than animals who deserve more respect than this. The guy also says he wants to have his own TV show. Clearly, he has found what he believes will be his route to stardom. What saddens me more than anything is the justification and casual acceptance that this is seen as so normal to so many people.

[@amethyst81]

What a testimony! Thanks for sharing. I’m about to embark on my grooming career. It all started after getting my F1B Goldendoodle, and when the groomer told me how much his “big boy” haircuts were going to cost. lol Five years later, I’m still his groomer. I definitely discovered a hidden passion with him. Working my way from the bottom up, pay wise, isn’t going to fun. But, I’m here for it. And… look at YOU!! 🎉🎉 It’s ALL about passion and doing what we LOVE to do. I’ve always loved animals. I actually wanted to be a Vet when I grew up. I worked in a shelter and when I cried during administering a vaccine to a kitten was when I was reminded of all of what being a Vet would entail. I would up being in the service industry, serving people. Now, I’ll be serving and loving on animals. 🥰🥰

It's like when parents MAKE their child wear certain things that THEY want not the child's choice.
