On the Go: Mobile Grooming
By Diane Krueger
There
are only so many tasks we can pack into our day, especially on those
most-valued days off. Trying to fit all of our errands and appointments into a
day or two can be both challenging and stressful. One of those tasks that
sometimes involve a careful juggling of the schedule is getting the dog
groomed. We often try and schedule a time that will allow us to do other things
in between, but not too many things as we have to be back at the designated
time to pick up the dog. It’s nothing unusual, but sometimes it can be
inconvenient.
Well,
there is an alternative to the traditional in-salon drop-off/pick-up grooming
that can make have a big impact on our multitasking capabilities. It’s mobile
dog grooming. With mobile grooming, the groomer comes to you and your dog.
Besides being way more convenient for us pet parents, mobile grooming offers a
calmer alternative for our dogs. Instead of walking into an environment with
several other dogs who are usually just as anxious, nervous and excited as
yours, your dog just walks out its front door and into more quiet and calm surroundings
where he or she is the only one getting services.
Hungry
Hound’s mobile grooming offers all the same services that are available in the
salon (full baths, haircuts, de-shedding, etc.) with the added benefit of not
having to leave your home. The mobile grooming vehicle has its own electric and
water hookups, so the only thing you have to supply is your dog.
So
instead of trying to squeeze in another errand into that already busy schedule,
you can schedule a service at your home and while the dog is getting groomed
just steps away, you can get to that laundry, cooking or cleaning that you were
sure was going to have to wait until you got home much later. Or better yet,
just enjoy a little bit relaxation in the comforts of your home instead of
fighting traffic.
Mobile
grooming is available on select days of the week and all booking for mobile
services are handled out of the St. John location. Pricing for the mobile
grooming services vary depending on the breed and size of the dog and the type
of service. For more information, give us a call at 219-365-5543.
