Your appointment, step by step
What to Expect from Mobile Grooming
The salon comes to your home, your dog is groomed privately from bath through finish, and I return your dog directly to you when the appointment is complete.
Before I arrive
A little preparation goes a long way
Choose the closest coat service
Use the four service descriptions as your guide. Breed helps, but the actual coat determines the final category.
Plan safe van access
Keep a practical curbside space clear and flag low branches, gates, parking restrictions, or unusual approaches.
Give your dog a bathroom break
Your dog does not need a last-minute bath or brushing session. A normal bathroom break beforehand is helpful.
The appointment
From arrival text to return
I text when I am on the way
You receive an estimated arrival time before I reach the service address.
We complete a quick handoff
Bring your dog out or meet me at the door. You are welcome to see the salon before the groom starts.
I groom one dog at a time
Owners do not remain inside. Multiple dogs from one address are scheduled together and groomed in sequence.
The process follows the coat
Bathing, rinsing, drying, brushing or deshedding, nails, and finishing are completed as one continuous workflow.
Your dog comes home
I return your dog and share useful observations about coat condition, skin, nails, tangling, shedding, or maintenance.
Payment and next visit
Payment is due at the end. Major cards through Square, cash, and check are accepted; rebook online or by text.
What happens in the van
Different coats need different work
Smooth single coats
Thorough cleansing, complete rinsing, drying, brushing, and removal of loose surface coat.
Short and thick double coats
High-velocity drying separates coat layers and releases undercoat, followed by the brushing, carding, and practical finish the density requires.
Continuously growing coats
Complete drying, straightening, combing, and clipping or scissoring based on coat condition and a maintainable preferred length.
Products are selected for the dog
I choose professional iGroom shampoo and conditioner for coat type and visible condition rather than using one formula for every appointment.
Timing is not one-size-fits-all
Density, condition, matting, size, age, drying needs, and tolerance change the workload, so I do not promise a fixed appointment duration.
Safety and service limits: Dogs must tolerate routine grooming and ordinary handling. I do not provide veterinary sedation, restraint, diagnosis, or treatment. I may modify or stop grooming if a dog becomes overly stressed, medically unstable, or unsafe. I do not perform prolonged painful de-matting, and healthy double coats are generally preserved rather than routinely shaved.
