- No crate Your dog is never caged or left waiting

- Since 2019 Licensed and fully insured
Why people switch to mobile
Most of it comes down to time your dog does not have to spend waiting.

01
Ninety minutes, not most of a day
A salon appointment usually means dropping off in the morning and collecting in the late afternoon, with most of that spent in a crate waiting for a turn. Here the whole thing is one appointment, and the waiting simply does not exist.
-
02
No car ride at either end
If your dog hates the car, gets sick in it, or plants all four feet at the door of a salon, that entire part of the day stops happening. It is often the single thing that makes grooming bearable for an anxious dog.
-
03
One dog at a time, by physics
There is one table in the van and one dog on it. That is not a policy I could quietly drop on a busy week, it is the whole design. No barking room, nothing else competing for attention, and no dog left in a dryer cage.
-
04
Nothing needed from your house
The van carries its own heated water, its own tank and its own generator. Your hose and your outlets stay exactly where they are. All I need is somewhere legal to park within about fifty feet of your door.

05
Much easier on older dogs
Senior dogs struggle most with the waiting, the noise and the stairs rather than the grooming itself. Taking those three things out is usually the difference between a hard day and an ordinary one.
