I am thinking about possibly moving to Sweden in the next few years, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about the grooming industry over there. I have been unable to find much information (in English, anyway!) about dog grooming employment and statistics on the Internet. The only information I HAVE found is that only 13% of Swedes own one or more dogs, which seems very low! The only person I have been able to contact states (this is translated, but otherwise her words):
"There are many dogs in Sweden, the problem is (translator could not follow)... Not the culture here that you go and cut their dogs in the same way as in the U.S.. But I think it is on the rise now, so it's good! In southern Sweden, I believe there are more jobs than in the north."
Can anybody else give me any insight? I would really like to move there, but grooming is my passion, and I don't think I would give it up.
Any help, links, information, advice, etc. is VERY appreciated!
