Why is mobile grooming so expensive?

Mobile grooming is a luxury and offers convenience for you and your pet. Mobile groomers drive to you. They work only on your pet during that time. When they are done, typically within an hour and a half of the start time, you get your pet back. Also, your pet does not sit in a crate waiting long hours. Whereas a shop can do a higher turnover (a single groomer in a truck on average does 4-6 dogs a day, while a shop can easily have turned out 20 or more a day), have more employees under one roof and put your pets in crates to dry to save time, mobile groomers do not. While in their care, your pet is given 100% of their time and attention and everything is done by hand.

How often should you bathe your dog?

Every dog is unique and so are their grooming needs. How often they need their hair brushed, trimmed, and washed will depend on the length, texture, and density of your dog’s coat. Though grooming needs can vary within breeds, there are some reliable standards for different types of dog hair. Short-haired dogs with oilier skin types benefit from a good wash every 4 to 6 weeks. Otherwise, they need a bath every 6 to 12 weeks. Long-haired dogs need a bath every 4 to 6 weeks, complemented by a haircut every 8 to 12 weeks.
