Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my pet be groomed?

How often a pet is groomed depends on a number of factors. On average, dogs should be groomed every four to six weeks. If you prefer to not be burdened with daily brushing, your dog should be groomed more often. If you like to keep your dog's coat trimmed short, you may be able to get away with more time between professional grooming sessions. It also depends on your dog's breed, coat type and how much time it spends outside. Here are some guidelines to follow:

Dogs with short and smooth hair (Beagles, Labradors) - as needed to help control odor and shedding, usually every 8-12 weeks.
Dogs with long hair (Shih-Tzu, Yorkshire Terriers, Old English Sheepdog) - every 4-6 weeks. These high-maintenance coats may even need weekly attention as they are easily matted.
Dogs with medium length hair (Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds) - every 6-12 weeks.
Terriers (West Highland Terrier, Schnauzer) -- every 6-10 weeks
Curly-coated dogs (Bichon, Poodle) -- every 3-6 weeks.

Do you need to use my electricity or water hose?

No, our mobile pet grooming spa is fully equipped with everything we need and is self-sufficient. This includes heated water (a 50-gallon freshwater reservoir and a separate 50-gallon tank hold our dirty--but entirely biodegradable soapy water, which we empty back at our location—NEVER on your property), a climate-controlled interior, power generated by a 'greener' energy, and state-of-the-art equipment. You will never have to worry about providing water/electricity or blowing a circuit.

What kind of dryers do you use?

We have seen the stories in the news about pets being injured, or worse, by the use of hot air kennel dryers. This is another advantage to mobile grooming as your pet is never left unsupervised, either in a tub or in a drying cage. We are never more than three feet away from your pet during the entire grooming process. We carry high velocity and fluff dryers to accommodate different pet's needs and will never use any tools or equipment that will cause your pet unnecessary stress.

Why is mobile grooming more expensive than going to the local groom shop?

Simply put, you are paying for a premium, convenient service--for the "groom shop" to come to you. This saves you the time (and fuel) of making two trips (back and forth) to a grooming shop and reduces stress on your pet by not having to transport him/her. You are also paying for one-on-one attention for your pet. This isn't a conveyor belt system where three different people handle your pet in a noisy barking environment -- only YOUR pet is in the mobile unit with our groomer, so there are few distractions and less stress. All of this is done in our fully functional, self-contained "spa on wheels" in front of your home.

Why can't I watch while my pet is being groomed?

Dogs become very excited having their owners see them and can run the risk of being injured. Groomers use many sharp tools while styling, and pets that move around on the grooming table are at a higher risk of being wrongly cut. "DO NOT" be offended that you or your children cannot be in the van or standing outside the window. It is only done for the safety of your beloved pet. Suppose you HAVE to talk with the groomer about something, please remember to come over and knock quietly so as not to startle the pet or the groomer. Doors opening or closing and voices can excite animals' at the most inopportune time. PLEASE never, ever open the door of the van while a pet is inside. This could result in an animal escaping and possibly being injured.
