Grooming services

admin0 — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 01:29:51 +0000

Each pet is different and, as a result, the grooming style must be tailored to you and your pet’s needs. Every pet, however, is treated to a hydromassage bath, hand drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, a full brush out and a haircut ( if desired).

Dematting is not a service that I will provide on a regular basis. Any necessary dematting will be discussed. If I feel at any time that your pet is in distress or discomfort, the dematting will be ceased immediately and another solution will have to be discussed. Dematting can be painful and unnecessary. Dematting is charged in 15 minute increments for an additional fee.

Shedless Furminator Treatments:

If you love your pet, love the way he looks but HATE the shedding then this is for you.

The Shedless Treatment is a grooming process that includes a shampoo, a deep conditioner that loosens up even more hair than usual, a regular brush out and then another process of removing that hair that seems to fall out all over your house shortly after your pet is groomed. This process will cut your pet’s shedding down enormously. It DOES NOT stop the seasonal shedding but will practically eliminate the daily shedding. If this process is completed on a regular grooming schedule you will see a big difference in the hair you find on your floor. This treatment is available for an additional fee based on the size of your pet.

FAQs

admin0 — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 01:23:18 +0000

Do you need me to provide anything when you come?

No. I only need your pet! The van is completely self-contained and I will take all the dirty water and the dog hair with me when I leave.

Do you groom cats?

Yes, I do groom cats.

Cats, as you know if you have one, are very sensitive creatures and the quiet environment a mobile salon can offer suits them well. Some cats will not tolerate a bath but will allow me to give them a haircut or a brush out. We will discuss the best options for your cat at the time of the appointment.

Can you groom the Giant Breeds?

No I am sorry I cannot. They are simply too large too fit comfortably and groom properly in the van. In this category, I must include GoldenDoodles and many of the Labradoodles. This is mostly due to their coat type and the owners desire to keep them in a coat length that is too labor intensive for me to accomplish in a timely manner.

What are your fees?

Mobile salons typically charge more than the average grooming salon. Prices are dependent on breed, coat type and condition, size of your pet and many other factors. I will be happy to give you an estimate for your pet’s groom. Please call or email me for more information.

Do I need to be home while you are grooming my pet?

Yes, you will need to be available for the first few appointments. It is extremely important that you are comfortable with my service and that I have completed your pet’s haircut to your satisfaction for one or two appointments.

What areas do you service and what are your hours of availability?

The mobile salon covers areas of Hunterdon, Somerset and Mercer Counties.

Please check here for my area of service

Grooming appointments are available Monday through Friday. My first appointment begins at approx. 9 AM and the last appointment must be completed by 3:30. Scheduling is dependent on where you live and how long it will take to groom your pet. Please contact me for more specific information. Please include your city, and the type and number of pets you will need groomed.

Can I schedule a standing appointment?

Yes! I strongly recommend it. Once you have your appointment booked, you don’t have to worry about it. You will also have the benefit of prescheduling your holiday appointments to ensure that your pet looks and smells wonderful when the family arrives!

Does my pet need to have current vaccinations?

For your pet’s health and safety, I strongly encourage you to have your pet up to date on its vaccinations. I understand that it is a very personal issue regarding vaccinations and the necessity of them every year for the duration of your pet’s life.

I will require proof of current rabies vaccination before I can groom your pet.

Will you trim my other pet’s nails even though you are not grooming him?

Absolutely. Please let me know in advance so that I can set aside the necessary time.

What types of payment will you accept?

At this time, I can only accept checks and cash. Payment is due at the time of your appointment.

Gratuities are not required or expected, but are always appreciated. Thank you.

About Me

admin0 — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 19:25:06 +0000

I have had a love for animals since I can remember. My constant need for animal companionship led me to obtain a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science from the University of Delaware. I graduated in 1992 and went to work at the Hunterdon SPCA for almost a year. While I was there, I became a certified animal control officer. I learned an enormous amount about animal behavior from working with the homeless animals.

In December of 1993 I graduated from the North Jersey School of Dog Grooming. I have been grooming dogs and cats ever since! I have had the opportunity to groom in both a mobile and shop environment. I have chosen to return to mobile grooming because I feel the animals benefit from remaining in their own environment and I enjoy providing the pet and owner a more personal grooming experience.

I make every effort to attend grooming conventions and to take the continuing education courses so that I can improve my grooming and business skills whenever possible. I have also completed an animal first aid and CPR course.

My husband and I have two amazing and beautiful children, 2 horses, 2 dogs (both are adopted/rescue dogs) and a lot of cats! I have always supported the homeless animals with their grooming needs and will continue to do so.
