Benefits of Mobile Pet Grooming


Mobile pet grooming brings the pet groomer to your home and appeals to pet owners for a variety of different reasons. Here are some of the advantages of mobile dog grooming:

  • Convenience. What could be more convenient than the groomer bringing his or her business to your front door? You are free to handle other chores or activities around your house while your dog is groomed.
  • One-on-one-attention. Typically, a groomer is taking care of a number of dogs at the same time – monitoring the washing of one while checking out the nail clipping of another. With mobile dog grooming, the focus of the groomer is solely on your dog. 
  • Less stress for your dog. Part of the anxiety for your dog is leaving his or her home for a grooming that may or may not be a pleasurable experience. Using mobile dog grooming eliminates any discomfort or anxiety on the part of your dog on the ride over to the groomer.
  • More comfortable for your dog. Many dog groomers keep dogs in crates or cages when they aren’t being groomed. This makes sense, because mixing a number of dogs together is only asking for trouble. But for a dog that never spends any time locked up in a cage or crate, the time spent at the dog groomer’s shop can’t be enjoyable.
  • No more kennel cough. There’s no risk of any diseases that other dogs may be spreading at the dog groomer’s shop. 
  • Calmer experience. If your dog doesn’t seem to like going to the groomer, then mobile dog grooming could be an extremely positive experience. It’s possible that the cages, combined with the strange environment and barking dogs work together to make your dog upset. Getting groomed at home could show your dog the experience is nothing to be scared of.
  • Great for older animals. There are many aspects of grooming that are soothing and positive for dogs. The combing and brushing removes dead skin and can be very calming. But as dogs get older, they may not tolerate trips to the groomer as well as they once did. Mobile dog grooming can keep an older dog’s coat in top condition, which is an important part of staying healthy.

Summer cut for Pooch-Shave down?

Singapore has no summer but this few months are hottest months if the years.
Most owner will want their dogs to be shaved 'botak' . 
Do you know what is the purpose of the fur ,coat and skin for dog? 

You Shave Your Pet

If you do plan on shaving your pooch for summer, groomers and vets offer these simple tips:

  • Think about hiring a pro. Most of us have little experience grooming our dogs, and many pets can be skittish, raising the potential for painful accidents. It's a lot cheaper to take your pet to a groomer, Sonnenfield tells WebMD, than "to have to pay for a laceration repair."
  • Keep clippers cool. All it takes is a few minutes of use for clipper blades to get hot enough to burn your dog. "Take frequent breaks to let those clippers cool down," Stickney says, "and use the lubricant that often comes with them" to help clippers stay cool.
  • Leave an inch of hair. Leave at least one inch of hair when shaving your pet. This gives your pet enough coat to protect from sunburn and chilly summer nights.
  • No close shaves. Resist the temptation to shave your dog close to the skin. Not only do you raise the risk of painful sunburn, but a close shave can leave guard hair imbedded under the skin. "New hair won't grow until these ends fall out, causing irregular growth and often skin problems," says Linda Easton, an international certified master groomer.
