Mobile grooming
- One-on-one: your dog is the only one in the van
- No car ride and no other dogs barking
- Usually done in 1 to 2 hours, then your dog is home
- You need parking outside, and the van brings its own water and power
A salon
- You drop off and collect, often a few hours apart
- Several dogs at once, sometimes in crates between steps
- Often a little cheaper
- Good for confident, social dogs
Which dogs do better with which
- Mobile: nervous dogs, old dogs, dogs that get car-sick, big dogs that are hard to lift into a car, and owners who work from home
- Salon: social dogs, and owners who pass a salon on the way to work
