  • How does mobile dog grooming work?

    So, how does this magical mobile grooming service work? Well, it’s as easy as pie (or dog treats)! You schedule an appointment, and our friendly pet groomer arrives at your location, ready to pamper your pup. We set up our grooming station right outside your door, equipped with everything from shampoo and conditioners to clippers and brushes.

The grooming process typically includes a bath, brushing, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a stylish haircut, all while your pup enjoys the comfort of their own home. CTA:

  • What should I expect during my dog's grooming Appointment?

    During your dog’s grooming appointment, expect a lot of wagging tails and maybe a few happy barks! Our professional groomer will start by assessing your pet’s coat condition and discussing any specific grooming needs. We’ll then bathe your dog with high-quality shampoo, followed by a gentle brushing to remove dead hair and mats. After that, it’s time for the nail trim and ear cleaning, ensuring your furry friend is not just looking good but feeling good too! By the end of the appointment, your dog will look and feel like a million bucks, ready to strut their stuff! 

  • How often should I get my dog groomed?

    Now, you might be wondering how often you should groom your dog. Well, it depends on several factors, including your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle. For instance, a fluffy poodle may need grooming every four to six weeks, while a short-haired terrier might only require a grooming session every couple of months. Regular grooming helps maintain a healthy coat and skin, so don’t skimp on those appointments! Your dog will thank you with extra cuddles!

  • What is your cancelation policy?

    We understand that things come up! If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance.

  • What is the average price of mobile dog grooming?

    The price depends on your pet’s size, coat type, and the services needed. On average, mobile dog grooming costs $80 to $200, with larger dogs and full grooms costing more. 



  • Do I tip a mobile groomer?

    Tipping isn’t required, but it’s always appreciated! A 20% tip is a great way to thank your groomer for a job well done.

  • How long does mobile dog grooming take?

    Most sessions take between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your pet’s size, coat condition, and the services needed.

  • Do you groom all breeds and sizes of dogs and cats?

    Yes! We groom all dog breeds and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes. Some mobile groomers also service cats, so just ask!

  • How old does a puppy need to be for the first groom?

    Puppies can get their first groom at 10-12 weeks old, after they’ve had their first round of vaccines. Early grooming helps them get used to the process!

  • Can I set a recurring appointment and get the same stylist?

    Yes! Many mobile groomers let you book regular appointments with the same stylist so your pet feels comfortable and familiar with them.

  • How can I avoid my pet getting matted between grooms?

    Brush your dog 2-3 times a week, especially if they have a long or curly coat. Using a detangling spray and getting regular trims also helps prevent matting.

  • Do we need to provide water or electricity?

    Nope! Mobile grooming vans come fully equipped with fresh water and their own power source, so you don’t have to provide anything.

  • Are extra fees likely?

    Extra fees may apply for severely matted coats, flea treatments, or special handling if a pet is anxious or aggressive. 

  • What if my pet needs a sedative?

    We can not give sedatives. If your pet gets anxious, talk to your vet about options before the appointment. Some pets do better with short, positive grooming experiences to help them adjust over time.
