  • What is mobile pet grooming?

    It is professional grooming self-contained in a custom space that arrives at your door to take care of your pet’s grooming needs. Mobile pet grooming is preferred by most of today’s busy pet owners. The convenience for you and the exclusive attention for your pet make it desirable to use a mobile grooming service. Our mobile salon is completely equipped to provide you with the utmost service. The generator furnishes electricity to the dryer, table, clippers, A/C, vacuum, lights, and more! A hot water heater ensures the perfect bath temperature and a therapeutic bathing system cleans and soothes your pet. To learn more about the benefits of using a mobile pet groomer, contact our team today.

  • Why use a mobile pet groomer?

    Working with a mobile pet groomer has a wide variety of benefits including:

    • Door-to-door Service: State-of-the-art, custom-designed van comes conveniently to your door!
    • Convenience: You can stay home – no more driving in unpredictable traffic with an anxious pet in the car.
    • Less Hassle: No more rearranging your whole day around dropping off and picking up your pet.
    • Professionalism: Your dog is given the groomer’s undivided time and attention.
    • Less Stress: A more familiar, quiet setting reduces stress for your pet, especially for those with separation anxieties. There will be no other pets or cages, and you can enjoy faster service.
    • Cleanliness: Your pet is the only animal in the salon at the time, preventing contamination from other animals, diseases, insects, and parasites.
    • No Car Sickness: No more car-sick pets and messes on the way to (and from) the salon. 
    • Safety: No crates or crate-drying, and no other dogs are around.
    • Flexibility: Day, evening, and weekend appointments are available. We work with your schedule. 
    • Quicker Service: Your pet is groomed from start to finish at the time of your appointment.
  • Do you need to use my electricity or hose?

    Nope! Our mobile dog grooming van is fully equipped with a generator for electricity and a 70-gallon freshwater reservoir. A separate 70-gallon tank holds our dirty (but entirely biodegradable) soapy water, which we empty back at our office.

  • How long does the grooming take?

    The grooming typically takes us anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours. Times are based on the size of the pet, coat condition, hair length, and more (very hairy and/or large dogs understandably take longer). On average, the full mobile dog grooming process takes us roughly one hour.

  • Is warm water used?

    Yes, the van holds 70 gallons of fresh, heated water. When you're looking for a fully equipped mobile pet groomer, turn to Furry Land Mobile Grooming!

  • Why can't I watch while my pet is being groomed?

    Stylists would love to have you watch them, but dogs become very excited having their owners see them, and they can run the risk of being injured. Mobile dog grooming services use many sharp tools while styling, and pets that move around on the grooming table are at a higher risk of being wrongly cut. Please do not be offended if your groomer informs you that you or your children can not be in the van or standing outside the window. It is only done for the safety of your beloved pet. If you must come to the van for something, please remember to come over and knock quietly so as not to startle the pet or the groomer. Doors opening or closing and voices can excite animals at the most inopportune time. Please never, ever open the door of the van while a pet is inside. This could result in an animal escaping and possibly being injured.

  • How often should my dog be groomed?

    Based on our professional experience, we recommend that your dog gets groomed every two to six weeks. However, it's important to remember that different breeds require different needs. According to Rover, if you have dogs with curly coats, they should be groomed every four to eight weeks. Weekly appointments with our mobile pet groomer are also available. If you have any questions regarding how frequently your dog should be groomed, reach out to our team today!

  • Doesn't frequent bathing dry out the skin and coat?

    Nope! As a reliable mobile dog grooming service, we use very mild, hypoallergenic, and medicated shampoos and conditioners that are safe to use once a week. In fact, according to Petplan, it is recommended that dogs be washed at least once a week if they have skin or coat problems. We also ensure your pets are adequately dry, especially during the summer months, to avoid things like hotspots and irritation from moisture.

  • Can I have my pet washed in my own shampoo?

    We’ll be happy to use any preferred pet-safe or veterinarian-prescribed shampoo, as long as it is designed for and safe to use on pets. This is at the discretion of the mobile pet groomer.

  • How long until I can get an appointment?

    We can usually book your appointment with a mobile pet groomer within days. However, there are times during the year that become very busy, and it is recommended to schedule as far as one to two weeks ahead. You can do this by using our online booking system on our website or by giving us a call. Having your pet on a regular grooming schedule, even for baths or basic services like teeth brushing or nail trims, helps ensure your pet is comfortable with all grooming, and it ensures a healthy and happy lifestyle!
