Does your pet hate the trip to the groomer? Do you feel guilty that he is closed up in a cage all day in the name of beauty? Are you concerned about your pet being exposed to other dogs and their possible illnesses? Then, perhaps, you should investigate a mobile groomer. That is, an entire grooming service that comes to your door.

Mobile pet groomers usually operate a specially designed van that includes water sources, air conditioning, and trained groomers. Your pet is not placed in a cage to wait his turn. Rather, he is the only one getting attention at that time. The environment is quiet, low-stress, and right there in his driveway.

Most mobile pet groomers offer basic cleaning and cutting services. This may include a hydrotherapy bath, with healing or medicated shampoos. Your pet will be brushed, have his nails trimmed, and his ears and eyes cleaned. Your pet’s hair can be trimmed and styled.

Special services from some mobile groomers include: hair coloring, massage, nail polishing and buffing, and even aromatherapy. Many groomers will also clean your pet’s teeth, and provide softening and conditioning treatment for their paws.

If you would like to give your dog a special day at the groomer without the anxiety or guilt, you can check your yellow pages or online for a mobile pet groomer near you.

BTW, if any pet groomers would like to have a free listing in a great directory, please leave your email address in the contact form. Be sure to put "groomer" in the body of the form.
