Frequently asked questions

• How soon can I get an appointment?

  It depends, maybe as soon as tomorrow, but realistically, most likely not that quick. We have had a successful grooming business for over 12 years and most of our clients love Jeff as their groomer once he has groomed their dog, so they get on a regular interval schedule with him for the year which keeps the schedule book pretty full.

• How long can I have my dog's hair be?

  Unless your dog is a Puli or Komondor, it depends totally on the ability and willingness of you as the owner to go over the dog's millions of hairs with a good brush at least every 1 to 3 days. Otherwise the answer is KEEP IT SHORT TO MEDIUM SHORT, (usually less than an inch and a half).

• Can I get an evening or weekend appointment?

  Unfortunately not. We are out grooming all week during normal business hours and every night we need to get the van ready for the next day. We have to wash the towels, replace the clean water, empty the dirty water tank, deep-clean and deep-sanitize the walls, floor, table, tools & tub.

• Is Mobile Grooming better for nervous dogs?

  Most definitely yes. With Mobile Grooming the dog is always at its home and gets one on one personal attention. The grooming session should only take about 1 hour and then the dog can go right back to its normal day. The dog is usually much more comfortable with a steady groomer that it can get to know.

• Can we schedule to get a new puppy groomed/bathed when we bring it home?

  We would love to be able to schedule your new puppy right away if we have an opening but it also could depend on if the dog has had all its vaccination rounds first, for the safety and health your dog.

• My dog has skin issues, can you use an oatmeal shampoo?

  Yes, we carry many shampoos on the van for different dogs needs including oatmeal shampoo, hypo allergenic shampoo, anti-itch Neem shampoo and others. We have our groomers certified in skin and coat care with training in the differences in shampoos.
