Main Control Panel

Q. What's a "Control Panel?" A. The "Main Control Panel" is "the starting point." Every section of Outfit, such as Grooming Supplies or Grooming Equipment, has more panels. Think of them as "table of contents." Control panels make it a snap

to access related information from other areas of our 6,000 plus web pages of PetGroomer.com without surfing here and there away from the current control panel you are using. What a timesaver! Warning, control panels present information using non-advertising pop-up windows; temporarily disable any popup blockers! OK, it's time to get a free Planner. P.S. After Planners, there are many other features below! Disable your pop-up blocker if active in order to use control panel links below.

Grooming Business in a Box® professionals developed 3 Planners for you. Find the one suitable for your needs. Fill it out to track 1) project costs, 2) brand names and model numbers, 3) vendors and 4) quantities.

Career seekers can include grooming education costs along with business start-up costs! Finish your data entry and voila, you have summary and detail costs and a convenient shopping list describing who, what, where and how many for every purchase. You're organized! Well done!

You access copies of Planners by clicking their names in the right column.

PDF Versions:

If you are not computer saavy this is the version for you. You can print our Planners on your computer and fill them out manually. We suggest using pencil, not ink, to allow for corrections and changes.

If your computer already has the free Adobe Reader software installed, our Adobe PDF Planners should load on your screen when you click. All you have to do is print them on your computer printer. You're ready to fill them in. Easy!

MS Excel® Versions:

They are for those users with Excel (or compatible such as free OpenOffice) on their computer, and computer experience or a knowledgeable helper.

When you click the names of the Excel Planners, a download window opens. Please follow the instructions to SAVE them to your computer. Do not choose the OPEN function. You may get asked for a password, etc. Instead, save them to your computer, open Excel and load the saved files.

If you are using an Excel-compatible you must save files to your computer, open the compatible spreadsheet program and load the saved files.

Using the Excel files is not for spreadsheet newbies. However, they are VERY easy spreadsheet files. You don't have to enter any formulas. It is data entry only.

Don't be disappointed if you cannot use Excel version. Print and use the Adobe PDF Planners instead. They produce the same results.

When you're done you will have organized the same info had you used the Excel versions.

If you don't own MS Excel you can download OpenOffice, a free MS Office compatible program.
