200 Dog Grooming Business Names Nervous Owners Trust

Nobody picks a groomer because of the name. But plenty of people rule one out because of it.

Because the person booking is usually anxious. They’re handing over an animal that can’t tell them afterwards what happened. Your name is the first thing that says whether you’re careful or just quick.

Here are 200, sorted by the kind of groomer you are.

(Take the one you can already see on the side of a van.)

How to Choose a Dog Grooming Business Name

Three tests. Run your shortlist through all of them.

The phone test. Somebody rings to book with a dog barking in the background. They have to say your name and you have to hear it right the first time. If you’d need to spell it twice, it’s out.

The nervous client test. Read your shortlist out and ask which one sounds gentle. Punny works brilliantly when the dog is easy. It works less well when the dog is a bitey rescue and the owner is already crying in the car park. Pick for the hardest client, not the easiest one.

The overlap test. Don’t put a word in your name that you’ll want in your slogan. Your name and your slogan get read together, so don’t let them say the same thing twice. Example: If your name is Careful Hands Grooming, “careful” is spent. A slogan about care underneath it just says it again, louder. Let the name claim the theme and give the slogan a different job, like what actually happens in the two hours you’ve got the dog.

Now go and pick one.

If you plan on having a website or blog, first check your name is available.
