Everyone loves a clean pet

Over the past few years, the demand for pet grooming services has surged, driven by several factors including increased pet ownership, changing attitudes toward pet care, and a greater focus on pet wellness. Grooming is a vital part of pet care, as it enhances skin health, prevents infections, and maintains a clean fur coat. The pet grooming industry, valued at $1.3 billion, is estimated to see even more growth due to pet owners seeking high-quality care for their companions. Pet humanization keeps growing as owners treat pets like family, seeking grooming and healthcare options similar to their own.

Starting a Pet Grooming Business

If you’re looking to get into this lucrative business, or maintain and grow your current business, we have a water heating solution for you. Hubbell water heaters are renowned for their use in naval aircraft carriers, industrial processing, offshore rigs, and restaurants. We also have the perfect water heating solution for pet washing stations. Warm water is essential for dog grooming as it helps soften matted fur and removes loose hair and tangles. Dogs, unlike humans, cannot tolerate hot water and they aren't fond of cold water either, even if they seem to enjoy a splash in a cold river. The ideal bath water temperature for a dog is lukewarm—98 to 105 degrees F (36.5 to 40.5 Celsius).

Our Solutions

Tankless Water Heaters

The Hubbell Tankless HX/TX electric water heaters are known for their reliability and low maintenance requirements. They are compact, highly efficient, space-saving, and help lower operating costs. These units are 98% efficient, easy to install and operate, and constructed with high grade materials (no plastic here). Our tankless water heaters are available in various sizes to meet your needs. The units include an advanced electronic temperature controller with an LED digital display. This controller processes flow and temperature data, calculating the exact power input to meet the demand. It’s a “set it and forget it” solution. Components within the unit are easily accessible and easy to repair so you don’t have to postpone a furry friend’s spa day due to heater issues. The advantage of a Hubbell Tankless is its reliability, durability and longevity, minimizing your business’s downtime.

Mobile Grooming

Mobile pet grooming has gained popularity as owners find it easier to have the groomer come to them rather than stress out their pet by a trip to the groomer. We have point-of-use solutions that work for both mobile grooming vans and brick and mortar store fronts. Our point-of-use models have been working in food trucks seamlessly for years and can play the same role in your grooming truck.

Point of Use

A "point-of-use" water heater, where the water is heated directly near the grooming station, is a great option for certain locations. Rather than relying on a central water heater, these systems are commonly utilized to increase the water temperature at fixtures located far from a central heating unit. The Endurance CE110 is a compact 1-gallon point-of-use heater that can be fitted with an optional mixing valve to keep the water temperature between 80-120 degrees F. Its compact space saving design provides quickly heated water at the desired temperature.

The Hubbell Endurance CE25 is a compact, point-of-use water heater that is the perfect solution for remote locations where hot water is necessary, but space is limited. The CE25 has a 2.5-gallon storage tank and multiple kilowatt options available. Simple plug and play operation with 120V models make the CE25 easy to use and install, while an electronic temperature controller and digital display provides accurate, reliable, and energy efficient operation. The rugged construction of the CE25 also ensures trouble-free operation and a long lasting, trustworthy source for hot water.

Another option is the Hubbell Tankless R. This point-of-use tankless water heater is highly reliable and easily maintained. It is compact, extremely efficient, takes up minimal space, and reduces operating costs.

If you are starting a pet grooming business or retrofitting an existing system, the thing to remember is a happy pet and happy owner equals a thriving grooming business! Whether you have one grooming station, hundreds of locations across the country, or a mobile pet grooming van, we can provide you with a product that ensures the best grooming experience.
