Often it does. In many cases, brick-and-mortar salons are high-volume businesses that complete a large number of grooms every day. Mobile pet grooming is a specialized service focused on providing a high level of care for you and your pet, which means that a limited number of cats and dogs can be accommodated each day. You may pay a little more for mobile grooming, but it comes with convenience, time savings and peace of mind that you are providing your pet with a less stressful, one-on-one, personalized experience, usually in 90 minutes or less.

We know that our pet parents take the health and well-being of their pets as seriously as we do, and all dogs and cats must meet current vaccination, parasite, and health requirements according to state laws in your area. In addition, we also recommend vaccinations for Distemper/Parvovirus (DHPP) , Hepatitis, Parainfluenza Adenovirus Type 2, Corona, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella if not required in your state before being groomed.

Please make sure your pet has had an opportunity to relieve themselves and is easily accessible. For cats, it is best to put them into a carrier 15 minutes before arrival to encourage an easy and calm start. For high-energy dogs, taking them for a brisk walk or a short play session before your groomer arrives is recommended.

As with many personalized services, tipping is appropriate and much appreciated by our hard-working groomers.

The duration of grooming sessions varies based on the size, breed, and coat condition of your dog or cat. On average though, it takes about 90 minutes for a standard grooming appointment.

We recommend every 4-8 weeks depending on your pet's coat type and needs. Regular grooming sessions are crucial to maintaining your pet's overall health and well-being, so setting up recurring appointments with Bark&Manetain™ helps establish an easy routine that not only keeps your pet's coat clean and free from matting, it also provides our groomers with the opportunity to identify any irregularities, such as lumps, that might otherwise go unnoticed. Additionally, regular grooming enables us to keep your pet's nails trimmed and ears clean, protecting against infection and pain from preventable conditions. 
 
By establishing your pet on a Bark&Manetain™ grooming schedule, you also guarantee that your pet will have a spot during busy festive seasons, and you never have to worry about remembering to book each time!
