Frequently Asked Questions

appointments, pricing, & policies

Mobile dog grooming varies based on size, breed, coat condition, and services. Most sessions range from $60 to $120+. Contact us for a quote tailored to your dog.

Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory. A standard tip is 15–20%, similar to other personal services.

Please ensure your dog has had a potty break and that the grooming area (driveway or curb) is accessible. Let us know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time.

We cannot groom sick or injured dogs for safety and health reasons. Please reschedule once your pet has recovered.

We require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid a fee. No-shows may incur full service charges.

For safety and focus, we ask that owners not remain inside the mobile unit. However, you’re welcome to check in from outside.

Grooming Services & Care

A full groom includes a bath, blow-dry, brush-out, nail trimming, ear cleaning, sanitary trim, and haircut (if applicable).

Every 4–8 weeks is ideal depending on coat type, breed, and lifestyle. Regular grooming prevents matting and health issues.

We only use hand drying — no cage dryers. It’s safer and more comfortable for your dog.

Most grooms take 1–2 hours depending on the dog’s size, coat, and condition.

A trim tidies the face, feet, and sanitary areas. A full haircut changes the entire coat length and shape according to breed or owner request.

If matting is severe, shaving may be the only humane option. We’ll always discuss this with you first and aim to keep your pet comfortable.

Absolutely! Share photos or descriptions, and we’ll do our best to match the look — depending on your dog’s coat and condition.

  • We use high-quality, hypoallergenic, and eco-friendly products that are safe for sensitive skin. Let us know if your dog has allergies.
