Mobile Pet Grooming
It always happens. You need to get your cat or dog groomed, but you’re too busy to make the trip to the groomers. Or maybe, you have an older pet that has a difficult time traveling or one that is fearful of leaving the house. Mobile pet grooming can provide relief for these issues. The concept of a mobile pet grooming service is great for several reasons. No more having to get your pet into your vehicle and driving to the groomer. Your pets can get the grooming that they need close to home and in a more relaxed atmosphere.
Some version of the mobile pet groomer has been available for years. These were usually small businesses, like mom and pop operations, which were available for only the local area. Basic grooming services were provided for dogs and cats. This was a great service that provided a major convenience to pet owners.
Advantages of Mobile Pet Grooming
- Convenience for the pet owner
- Less stress for your pets
- No waiting in crates for your pets
- No traveling for your pets
- No contact with other strange pets
- One on one attention
The mobile pet groomer of today will have a van completely equipped with the necessary equipment and tools to provide all of your pet grooming needs. Grooming prices may be slightly more than the rates charged by pet salons, but this increase in price may be well worth it to the pet owner. Many mobile pet groomers will groom your pet even in your home, which is a lot less stressful for elderly pets.
Just think, there is no need for your pet to wait in a cage while they wait for their turn at the groomers. They won’t be surrounded by other pets that may be barking or that may have parasites such as fleas. Your pet is in a relaxed atmosphere with no exposure to other dogs or cats. If you have several pets that need grooming, each of them can wait for their turn in their own home environment, making the entire grooming process a more pleasant experience.
The Typical Mobile Pet Grooming Van
We tried to find a video that wasn’t commercialized, but did not succeed. However, we did find the following video which isn’t too bad as far as commercial content. We chose this video because it does provide a good general idea as to the services that are offered by the majority of mobile pet grooming services.
The vans used today have running cold and hot water along with self-generated electricity. They are air conditioned and heated and have every type of tool or equipment that a typical salon may carry. These vans are quite plush and are operated by professional stylists. The larger vans have plenty of room for more than one groomer to work at the same time.
All of this is available to you without having to put your pet in a vehicle and drive to your local pet salon. If your pet happens to be prone to getting carsick, a mobile pet grooming service can be a major convenience for you and a wonderful benefit for your pet. Any time spent riding in a vehicle for a pet that is prone to carsickness is traumatic. Having a grooming service come to your pet makes the grooming process more enjoyable.
The services of mobile pet groomers are available in most major cities and the surrounding areas. Just take a look in your yellow pages or on the Internet for a listing in your area and your pet can savor the spa treatment while avoiding the trauma of travel and potentially hectic surroundings.
