Question 1

How does mobile dog grooming work?

Accepted Answer

We drive our self-contained grooming van to your driveway. The van has its own water supply, drainage, tubs, dryers, and grooming tools — nothing plugs into your home. Your dog gets a full salon experience without leaving your property.

Question 2

Do you need access to my home or utilities?

Accepted Answer

No. Our van is completely self-contained. We do not need access to your home, water hookup, or electricity. We park in your driveway and operate independently.

Question 3

How long does a mobile grooming appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Most appointments finish in 60–90 minutes. Larger breeds, heavily coated dogs, or dogs that need extra reassurance may take up to 2 hours. We do not rush.

Question 4

Can you handle multiple dogs in one visit?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we can groom multiple dogs from the same household in a single visit. Each dog gets their own dedicated time slot in the van.

Question 5

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Call us at the number on this page or fill out the form. We confirm the same day and typically have availability within the week.

Question 6

How much does mobile dog grooming cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on your dog's breed, size, and coat condition. We provide an exact quote when you book — no surprises. Visit our pricing guide for estimated ranges by dog size.

Question 7

Do you charge extra for difficult dogs?

Accepted Answer

Dogs with heavy matting, very long coats, or significant behavioral challenges may take more time and be priced accordingly. We tell you before we start.

Question 8

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Last-minute cancellations may incur a $25 fee for holding the time slot.

Question 9

My dog hates grooming. Can you still help?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes. Fear Free handling is specifically designed for anxious dogs. We use calming techniques, go at your dog's pace, and never force anything. Many of our most loyal clients originally had dogs that failed at traditional salons.

Question 10

What is Fear Free certification?

Accepted Answer

Fear Free is a professional program that teaches groomers and veterinarians to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress during handling. It covers body language reading, counter-conditioning, handling techniques, and environmental modification.

Question 11

Do you ever decline to groom a dog?

Accepted Answer

Yes, rarely. If a dog's behavior poses a safety risk to itself or our groomers that cannot be managed with Fear Free techniques, we will stop and refer you to a veterinarian or a groomer with sedation capability.

Question 12

Can you handle senior or disabled dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jessica handles all senior dog appointments personally. We use extra padding, gentle handling, take more breaks, and do not rush elderly or mobility-challenged dogs.

Question 13

Can you help with a badly matted coat?

Accepted Answer

Light to moderate matting — yes. Severely matted coats may require a shave-down rather than a dematting attempt. We will assess and tell you honestly before starting, with your dog's comfort and skin health as the priority.

Question 14

Do you offer medicated shampoo for skin conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stock medicated, hypoallergenic, and antifungal shampoos. Let us know about any skin conditions when you book.

Question 15

How often should my dog be groomed?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the breed and coat type. Most dogs do well every 4–6 weeks. Poodles, doodles, and schnauzers often need every 4 weeks. Short-coated breeds can go 8–12 weeks between baths.
