Frequently Asked Questions and Information about Mobile
Pet Grooming
We are thrilled that so many of our clients
have tried and love our mobile grooming service. For
those of you who have yet to try it, or are wondering
how it works, I'd like to take the time to answer some
frequently asked questions we've received regarding the
mobile grooming van and services.
Does mobile grooming mean you groom my pet in my
tub, at my house?
Yes we do come to your house to groom your pet, but NO
we do not groom your pet in your tub. We have a self
contained mobile grooming van. It is a state of the art
grooming salon on wheels. It was specifically designed
and created for this purpose by a mid western company
that has over 30 years experience in the mobile grooming
industry. We visited the factory and watched production
of the van! It has a huge tub that will fit ANY size dog
and a hydraulic groom table with a bridge to the tub to
easily get arthritic or senior pets in and out of the
tub.
Isn't it too cold to groom in a van outdoors? And
too hot in the summer?
No! The entire interior of the van is heated and the
water used to bathe your pet is heated. So for your pets
comfort and (our groomers too) they are nice and toasty!
And in the warmer months, the entire van is air
conditioned too!
Where do you get the water and power to groom my
pet?
We use our own water tank and generator to heat the
water to groom your pet. Our clients don't have to
supply anything--just your pet!
Pet owners do not need to be present for us to groom
your pet. However, we do like to see or speak with you
on the very first grooming appointment so you can
specify the services and type of cut you would like your
pet to have.
-Yes, our mobile groomer can come to your workplace
or business and groom your pet there!
Other benefits and pros to using Wagging Tails Mobile
Grooming Service:
-Unlike most grooming salons that sanitize only once
daily at the end of the day-- in our mobile van, the
tub, table, grooming supplies, tools and entire work
area of the van are sanitized between each and every
groom appointment.
-Your pet is Fluff dryed and NOT cage dried! This
means that after your pet's bath, unlike grooming
salons, your pet is hand dried by the groomer with a
gentle specially made fluff dryer. In most grooming
salons, pets are put in cages with dryers attached and
cage dried. But there are no cages in the van. None.
PERIOD! Your pet will not have to sit in a cage to wait
their turn to be groomed or to dry. Your pet receives
individual care and attention. If you have multiple pets
to be groomed, to reduce stress, each is done
individually. Meaning that they wait their turn in your
home!
-We use all natural products to bathe and clean your
pet.
-We absolutely DO groom cats! We've even groomed
rabbits!
-Our groomer is licensed, experienced, trained in and
a graduate of professional grooming school.
-Each groom includes a special hydrosurge massaging
water bath with all natural shampoos & conditioners, a
gentle blow dry, ear cleansing, teeth cleansing, nail
clipping and clean up clipping of the fur around the
face, ears, eyes and sanitary areas (if necessary), a
biscuit treat and a bow or bandanna.
-Additional services do include clipping the pet to
breed standards,
nail polishing, matt removal, extensive brush or comb
outs, furminator deshedding tool use, coat & skin
remoisturizing treatments, deskunking, flea baths.
-Yes, you absolutely can tip the groomer!
-The groom fee is breed specific and also depends on
the needs of each pet. In some cases, mobile grooming
fees may be slightly more expensive than salon grooming
fees. But remember:
-our VERY CONVENIENT service comes to YOU.
-we eliminate your travel
-we eliminate your pet's stress with travel.
-your pet is the ONLY focus of our grooming attention
-there are no other pets to spread fleas, ticks, kennel
cough, etc
-there are no cages for your pet to sit in
-your pet doesn't wait all day at a salon to be picked
up
-your pet is hand dried
-individual loving attention & professional grooming for
your pet!
