What Do Mobile Dog Grooming Services Include?

Mobile dog grooming involves taking all the services that are offered in a grooming salon and delivering them right to the owner’s doorstep. Here’s what you can expect from mobile dog grooming services:

General Health Check

In mobile dog grooming services, professional dog groomers perform a comprehensive check-up on your pet. They look for any serious issues that might require medical attention, such as cuts, swelling, heat, or behavioural changes. Groomers also ensure your dog's eyes are bright and clear, teeth are intact, and ears are clean and odourless. The health check includes examining the dog's skin, coat, pads, and nails for any signs of infection.

Supervising Walks and Socialisation

The main purpose of the dog walking expert is to make the pet exercise. They will make sure that your dog is having a good time and is comfortable and secure during the walk. These are listening to your commands, aiding your dog to interact with other pets and people, and most importantly showering them with affection. Many dog walkers walk several dogs at the same time, so your dog can make new friends. Make sure that your dog is vaccinated, dewormed, and well-exposed to different environments. Some walkers have pet rules that state that the dog under their care must be neutered or spayed. Ask if you want to go for a walk alone or with a pack.

Bathing Your Dog

The grooming session typically begins with a wash. Your groomer will use his/her choice of shampoo, or you can bring your favourite one for the grooming session. Finally, your dog will be towel-dried or blow-dried, and their fur will be brushed after the bath. This step can be omitted if the dog has been bathed recently or cannot for medical reasons.

Towel and/or Forced-Air Dry

Once the washing is over, the fur of your dog is allowed to dry up before it is clipped and styled. It also makes sure that your dog's coat is ready for what is to follow.

Haircut and Nail Trimming

You will decide on the length of your dog’s fur and your pet will be groomed to suit that length. This can include simply trimming the paws and the stomach area as well as removing most of the fur from the cat’s body. It is essential to make sure that the groomer is aware of the style you prefer. Nail trimming is also included but if the nails are still too short the groomer will advise against it.

Ear Cleaning and Tooth Brushing

Grooming is also a process of washing your dog’s ears and brushing his teeth. The groomer will employ items such as ear cleaning solution, pet brush or pet toothbrush, and pet toothpaste. It is good to have a separate toothbrush for your dog to avoid cross-infection of oral bacteria.

Eye Cleaning/Plucking

This entails wiping off the eyes to remove discharges and trimming hair around the eyes. Cleaning the external ear involves the removal of moisture, wax and dirt from the auditory canal.

Brush Out

Brushing spreads natural oils on the length of the body of your dog, feels for tangles, and removes dead hair. Matting is clumps of tangled fur or hair in your dog’s coat that are too tight to comb through easily.

Flea Treatment

Some groomers may include flea treatment as one of their services but not all of them do. If there is any anti-flea medicine that has to be administered after the bath, the groomer will assist with that. This is an important step as it will help to prevent your pet from getting parasites as well as other diseases.
