Please review Furbubble’s service agreement about aggressive dogs.

What if my dog needs special handling?

Our groomers at Furbubble are very experienced in handling all types of dogs, including any special needs. Mobile is particularly well set up to handle older dogs or dogs that are nervous, have mobility issues and don’t appreciate sitting in crates in a salon before and after an appointment.  The service is one-on-one with no other dogs around and so really a special situation for pets.  It’s important to let us know during the booking of your appointment if your dog has any special needs. Your Furbubble groomer can also assess your dog at the time of grooming and advise if any additional special handling costs may apply.  Per our service agreement if the dog is overly aggressive or is very anxious and stressed, and it prevents the groom from happening, the groomer will return the dog and there will be a charge for the visit.

Furbubble’s mobile grooming appointments will take about 1 - 2 hours, depending on size of pet, fur quality, service requested and behavior of your dog.

How Often Should A Dog Get Groomed?

Short answer “about once a month.” That said, it will of course depend on what type of dog you have and the type of coat your dog has.

Why is mobile grooming more expensive than salons?

Mobile grooming, in some cases, is a bit more expensive than self-wash and salons. Mobile grooming is a premium service as we bring the spa right to your doorstep. This is very convenient for the pet parent, but more importantly, a much better experience for the pet as it is less stressful and 100% one-on-one attention with the groomer. Salons will typically work on several dogs at the same time. They put dogs in cages before the appt starts and also to dry, which can be quite stressful for the dogs, especially with all the other dogs around. After the appt, the dog usually is required to sit in a crate and wait for the parents to pick them up. A lot of pet parents are happy to pay a higher grooming price to ensure that their dog is as comfortable as possible while being groomed. Another big benefit of the mobile service is that you minimize exposure to the K9 virus as well as other viruses and diseases passed by unknown dogs that are out there.

Is A Dog Grooming Worth It?

Absolutely! Regular grooming is essential to the overall health of your dog. Dogs who see a groomer regularly are less likely to experience skin diseases and poor skin health, have healthy nails, and have a coat that doesn’t become matted and tangled as much. They will also shed less, depending on the type of dog. Groomers are also trained to recognize signs and symptoms of skin issues before they get out of hand. The groomers at Furbubble regularly identify issues for owners with their dog’s skin that they had not been aware of and also give helpful tips to keep your fur baby and it’s fur and health in top condition.
