How to prepare your dog for a mobile grooming visit

Mobile grooming is the easiest way to keep your dog clean, healthy, and happy — but a little prep at home goes a long way. Here is what we recommend before our van pulls up.

The night before

Take your dog on a slightly longer walk than usual. A tired dog is a calm dog, and calm dogs love grooming day.

One hour before

  • Offer a light meal, not a heavy one
  • Skip treats with food coloring that can stain fur
  • Give your pup a quick potty break

When we arrive

Greet your groomer together. A short hello on the curb helps your dog associate the van with you and a positive routine. We will take it from there.
