What services do dog parlours offer?

In our previous blog we discussed mobile grooming, its service offerings, and the benefits of regular pet grooming. In hindsight, mobile grooming takes the doggy parlour to your furry fren. Convenience at its best for pet pawrents and furry frens.


Let’s whoof through a doggy parlour. Traditionally, furry frens would be taken to a doggy parlour to get bathed and groomed. Most doggy parlours offer pickup and drop off options. What does the services of doggy parlour include?


  • Brushing;

  • Bathing;

  • Hand dried or pet dyers;

  • Dipping;

  • Nails clipping;

  • Styling, shaving and trimming


Although mobile grooming companies and doggy parlours provide the same services, there is indeed critical differences that pet pawrents must be aware of. They are:


  • Mobile groomers come directly to your home, whereas doggy parlours are situated elsewhere.

  • Mobile groomers are often more expensive than the average doggy parlour due to convenience.

  • Most mobile groomers allow pet pawrents to stand by, observe and give specific instructions when their furry frens get groomed in the trailer. With most doggy parlours, the pet pawrents simply drop of their furry fren and collect them after being groomed. Alternatively, the doggy parlour can also arrange transportation for the furry frens.

  • Your furry fren doesn’t spend any time in a cage when using mobile grooming. There is no waiting time before the grooming starts. Doggy parlours make use of cages to keep the dogs until it is their turn to be groomed. After the grooming session they return to the cages until the pawrent collect the furry fren or the parlour arranges transportation. For most furry frens, being put in a confined space is a stressful thing.

  • Some furry frens become anxious or car sick when they travel. Mobile grooming eliminates these factors totally.


Our Last Bark

Both options (given the same quality of groomers exist) will yield the same grooming result. However, the differences mentioned above will ultimately determine whether your furry fren will have a whoof or a phoof time being groomed. As a pet pawrent make a responsible decision. One that will fit your furry fren’s lifestyle, breed, age, and health.
