GT Grooming Trailer & Pet Groomer Resource.

GT builds grooming trailers like no other conversion company.  When closely looked at, one can see the attention to details that GT is obsessed with.  This photograph is just one example:  Notice how all of the hardware that GT Grooming Trailers uses matches, and we even match the color of the hardware so that it looks great!  A) The white walls have white hardware.  B)  The silver metal has silver hardware.  C)  The black controls have black hardware.

Examples like this are just more reasons why GT has an exceptional reputation for building the smartest mobile dog grooming salons on the market.

Some of my customers know that my background is in the theo-geek world.  My degrees are from both Protestant and Catholic schools.  I’ve taught classes for churches, high schools, and colleges; written thousands of pages synthesizing history, philosophy, and theology.  So how does that kind of a background help me with my GT  Grooming Trailers business?  Well, maybe it is to help dog lovers cope with the loss of their friend.

A couple of nights ago, I had to euthanize my boxer, Gruffie.  Doing so sort of forced me to dig out my old theologian cap and review minds greater than my own.  I initially found little comfort.  However, my sifting of 2,000 years of thought revealed sufficient room to hope that God could be planning a surprise for us!

Shoppers have shared with us their experiences with a GT Grooming Salons competitor.  Evidently, one company is “selling against” GT’s grooming trailers by saying that GT uses “horse trailers” to use as our shell.

Sort of funny (since they use a camper and call it a “proprietary design”) but GT does not use horse trailers.  We have an arrangement with a company who builds our trailer shells SPECIFICALLY FOR ONLY GT.  Nobody else can acquire our trailer shells.  Because of our volume, our shells are welded up precisely to fit GT’s equipment.  The frame is built for GT’s unique use.  For  example, the studs are spaced so we can bolt our tubs into the framing which allows for more space under the tub (which allows for a smaller trailer shell).  The headers are welded specifically for our water heaters, the doors are custom built for only GT, the examples go on and on.  

So, if a company who has sold TWO mobile grooming trailers is selling against GT’s use of a TRULY proprietary design by calling it a “horse trailer”, a responsible shopper would find that our trailers are designed from the ground up to be mobile dog grooming trailers through and through.

NOBODY builds grooming trailer floors like GT Grooming Trailers! Not only was GT the FIRST to install drains in the floor for easy cleaning, but the differences also include:

• 100% sealed floor 6 inches up the wall.
• Even the mechanical compartment is sealed (compare that to others).
• The trailer floor is completely undercoated (compare that to others).
• Most of the grooming equipment is suspended off the floor for easy mopping (compare that to others).
• Available in different colors (compare that to others).

So, if you see other moible dog grooming trailer companies advertising the same kind of details on their trailers, remember that GT was not only the first, but continues to be the best in quality.

We at GT Grooming Trailers pride ourselves on how we treat our customers AFTER the sale as well.  Purchasing a grooming trailer has long-term consequences for the groomer, so making sure to purchase from a reputable company is important.  We just received this email:

“ It’s no wonder you guys do well with your business. Your service after the sale is top notch. THANKS for everything!” Ray

We try to keep in touch with our customers as much as possible.  We’ve even gone on “customer service tours” making sure to stop at as many former customers as we can offering inspections, tips, and touch-ups.  Our construction uses only the best equipment, our craftsmanship is unmatched, and our commitment to making our customers (past and present) happy is our primary goal.  Please, browse some of our testimonials, give us a call, or make an appointment for a showing!

GT Grooming Trailers builds all of our grooming trailers with the possibility of our customers wanting to expand their mobile dog grooming empire.  Groomers who hire employees can max out their profits by allowing their grooming trailer to be out on the road seven days a week.  With GT’s grooming caddy, it is EASY for groomer #1 to remove his personal equipment and for groomer #2 to bring her’s in!  Simply pull out the push-pins and the grooming caddy comes off!  Even grooming companies that are one-man outfits find that the GT design allows for easier cleaning.

The GT Grooming Trailer does not need a ramp to help larger dogs into its stainless steel tub. Many “shop” groomers bring their assumption into the mobile industry, but soon learn that “shop” grooming and “mobile” grooming are two completely different things.

The GT  Grooming Trailer has a hydraulic table that is only about 12 inches from the tub.  GT can build any size table top you want, with ports, rubberized to match your floor, etc.  We can place the tables closer to the tub if lifting larger dogs into the tub is going to be a concern.

Once a large dog is on the table, simply just let the grooming table do the lifting for you!  Once raised, the pet is within stepping distance of the tub.  With GT, there is no hassle of storing a useless ramp (I’ve never known a dog to actually USE a ramp).  EVERYTHING IS EASY with GT!

Talking Dogs Mobile Grooming in Henderson / Las Vegas, Nevada also offers dog training!  Talking Dogs purchased their mobile salon from GT Grooming Trailers about 4 years ago and we continue to talk regularly about business.  We’ve always been impressed with their integrity and attention to great customers service.  Offering dog training is just another way to have an additional profit center for one’s pet-care business and it’s exciting to see how our customers grow their businesses.  Good luck to Talking Dogs!

My wife, Kim, is the Highlands Ranch mobile groomer.  She’s been gooming for about ten years and saves over $5,000 each year by simply being smart about her grooming trailer.  This strategy won’t work in hotter climates, but here in Colorado it is easy to save over five grand each year by not using a generator on her grooming trailer.  

Once the numbers are crunched, it is easy to see how much of a drain a generator really is.  In addition to the initial cost of installing a quality machine, there are expenses such as fuel, oil and filter changes, etc.  In order to keep a warranty, regular services must be maintained.

We’ve been teaching for a few years now that the money saved can pay for a week in Hawaii, and Kim has decided to surprise me with another (much needed) vacation!  No wonder why so many mobile dog groomers look to her for guidance!  Yes, mobile grooming is  a great way  to make a living.

YES!  The GT is designed to accommodate large dogs too.  Our tub is plenty strong, our table is plenty strong, and we install restraint eyelets for all sizes of dogs.  The table is hydraulic, so it lowers to about one foot off of the ground.  So, if a dog is too heavy for you to lift, simply let the table do the lifting for you!  Once raised, the table is only about one foot (customizable) away from the tub so even the most difficult dog can easily be put into the tub.  We are working on a video to show this, so keep checking back.
