Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ On Dog Grooming
  • Can I book just a nail trim?

    No. We do not travel for only nails services. However, nails are included in our packages.

  • I live a street over from a city you service, why will you not book me?

    Each city we service has a bordering city that we do not service. Just like all of our qualifications, we have to draw the line somewhere.

  • What vaccines are required?

    We require a current rabies shot. We also ask that you do not get shots done day of or day before appointment because it adds to their stress levels and most reactions to vaccines do not show up until 24-48 hours after administered.

  • Why do you charge by time?

    There are many variables in grooming that can cause the process to take longer. (Lack of maintenance at home between visits, behavior, potty messes or rebathing, coat texture and length, specialty grooms, etc.) We recommend getting on a monthly schedule with us for consistency.

  • How far in advance should I book?

    We are typically booked out 4-6 weeks in advance. Before we leave, we recommend booking your next appointment.

  • Is there a cancellation fee?

    Yes. We require 48 hours notice of cancellation/reschedule. Failure to do so will result in $50 fee per pet before you are able to rebook.

    If we show up to the appointment and no one is home or answers the door, a minimum of $100 will be required before rebooking. We do not set aside time to start late so if you do not contact us within 5-10 minutes of arrival, the appointment goes to no show status. If you do answer late, we charge $1 per minute past the appointment time.

  • Why do you only service homes?

    Parking is a very big issue with such a large vehicle. We do not fit in parking spots, under covered parking, inside parking garages, there are loitering laws, specifics within our insurance policy, etc.

  • How much does mobile dog grooming cost?

    Answer: The cost of mobile dog grooming varies depending on factors like location, breed, size, and coat condition. Prices can range from $40 to $120 per grooming session. It's best to contact a local mobile groomer to get an accurate quote based on your dog's specific needs.

  • What services are included in a mobile dog grooming session?

    Answer: Services provided by a mobile dog groomer typically include bathing, drying, hair trimming, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression. Some groomers may offer additional services like teeth cleaning or flea treatments, but this can vary between groomers.

  • How often should my dog be groomed?

    Answer: The frequency of grooming depends on factors such as your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle. On average, dogs should be groomed every 4-8 weeks. Dogs with long or thick coats may require more frequent grooming to prevent matting and maintain a healthy coat.

  • Are mobile groomers licensed and insured?

    Answer: Reputable mobile groomers should be licensed and insured. This ensures they have received proper training and follow industry standards for grooming practices. Don't hesitate to ask for proof of licensing and insurance when booking an appointment.

  • Is mobile grooming safe for my dog?

    Answer: Mobile grooming can be a safe and convenient option for your dog. Mobile groomers are trained to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. The grooming environment is often less stressful for your dog, as they remain in familiar surroundings.

  • How long does a mobile grooming session take?

    Answer: A mobile grooming session typically takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your dog's size, coat condition, and the services requested. Some dogs may take longer due to special grooming requirements or behavioral concerns.

  • Can my dog be groomed if they have skin issues or allergies?

    Answer: Mobile groomers can often accommodate dogs with skin issues or allergies by using hypoallergenic products and taking extra care during the grooming process. Inform your groomer about your dog's condition beforehand, so they can make necessary adjustments.

  • Do I need to provide any supplies or equipment for the mobile groomer?

    Answer: Most mobile groomers will bring their own equipment and supplies, such as grooming tables, tools, and shampoos. However, you may need to provide access to water and electricity, depending on the setup of the grooming van. It's best to discuss any specific requirements with your groomer in advance.
